In a Bamberg stationery store, management asked customers not to tear up the copy paper.
That alone makes people laugh – but one user hits the nail on the head.
Bamberg – Notesofgermany, a well-known Instagram page, regularly shares funny and curious photo stories from all over Germany.
Of course, places in Bavaria are also often represented.
The most recent post focused on Bamberg in Upper Franconia.
A stationery store there made an urgent request to customers.
“Please do not tear up copy paper” – paper is hanging under pieces of paper
Apparently the Bamberg stationery store is struggling with occasional customers who tear open the packs of copy paper - probably to check the paper inside.
In order to avoid this in the future, as torn packages are difficult to sell, the branch management has put up a red notice.
It now says in large, black letters: “Please do not tear up the copy paper!!!
Paper looks like this...” – an arrow placed under the lettering then points to a piece of paper stuck to the red piece of paper.
This means it will no longer be necessary to tear open the copy paper packs.

Note story from Bamberg: Instagram user hits the nail on the head with a laugh
On Instagram, however, a user's comment under the notesofgermany post in particular caused a lot of laughter and approval: "I read toilet paper," she wrote simply, adding a laughing emoji and a facepalm (hand-to-the-forehead). clap).
But apparently she wasn't the only user who read this.
Not only did her comment collect more than 200 likes, other users also commented that they had experienced a similar experience.
“Same here.
And I thought, what kind of people are there who want to know what their toilet paper looks like before buying it... Maybe the embossing is crucial for the feeling?" wrote one user, for example.

Alphabet salad – Instagram post shows the power of the brain
In fact, there are studies that show that when many people read, they only read the first and last letters of a word - and the brain puts the rest into a logical order.
A few years ago, this paragraph made the rounds online:
“Ehct ksras!
According to a sutide of a university, it is not known in which rneflogheie the examples in a word are nid, the second thing is important, that the first and the last letter is nid in the ritihcegn word.
The reset can be a thousand dollars, but you can still see it without the need for money.
That's because we don't read every example, but create the word as a whole.
Ehct ksras!
That's awesome!
And that’s why we’re going to sleep for a long time!”
Letter salad on the internet
It seems that with this piece of paper in Bamberg, for many people, their brains have turned the rarely used word copy paper into toilet paper, which occurs more regularly in everyday life.
