Toilet roll etiquette - The Great Debate

I was struck by a philosophical question the other day, while gratefully using a Client's loo:

Why "grateful"? 

Because although I am perfectly competent at taking a discrete pee behind the shed (“Ladies! Get yourselves a P-style and never again have to drop your trousers when you have to pee outdoors!”), it is rather nice, on a cold and windy day, to be able to use the “house” loo.

Back in the days when Covid was striking us down en masse, it was not possible to go into someone else's house, so peeing behind the shed very much became the “thing” to do. Those days are gone, thank heavens, but the memory lingers on, so I am grateful on a regular basis, to be allowed to use the indoor loo again.

The debate - which might be philosophical, or might be moral - is what to do when this happens, as in the photo above: the perforations fail to tear neatly, and you are left with a ragged bit of loo paper.
