What should I do if I find myself in a public toilet stall that’s out of toilet paper? Would it be strange to ask someone to “spare a square” here in Australia?

If you find yourself in that situation, it’s definitely not too weird to ask for help! “Can you spare a square?” is a lighthearted and classic phrase that many people might recognize, so it could break the ice. If you’re uncomfortable saying that, you can simply ask the person in the next stall or someone waiting outside if they have any tissue or toilet paper to spare. Most people understand the situation and are usually willing to help! If you’re in a public restroom, you might also check for any dispensers nearby or see if there’s a staff member you can ask for assistance. Good luck!
