Tissues

Each time I prepare a fresh tissue for a runny nose I am faced with two options: do I blow my nose into an unfolded tissue so that I might be able to use it again or do I fold the tissue in half so that I reduce the risk of blowing through the tissue?

Always being more efficient than safe, I never fold the tissue. This is always followed by regret. I instantly make plans to get to the nearest sink. Can I open the door with my elbow? How do I get my headphones off without separating my hands? Are my roommates in the hallway?

How will I put on pants?
