A loo roll holder which is equipped with an infrared proximity sensor - whenever a hand is extended to grasp the paper, it promptly rewinds into the holder. Once the hand is removed, the paper cautiously re-emerges.

And with Ian's suggestion, it could "taunt" as well. [blissmiss, Oct 19 2009]

       Have the evil laugh hand dryer thingy, and we got a {{{realllll bathroom}}}. Not for the faint of heart. Guaranteed to scare the shit outta ya. Good for the constipated.

       You could add a washbasin that emitted a deep, Satanic chuckle when the plug is pulled. Some washbasins almost do this already, so it can't be that difficult to engineer.

       I'm waiting for a Mobius bog roll.
RayfordSteele, Oct 20 2009
  

       Would that not get a bit icky quite quickly?
kaz, Oct 20 2009
  

       No, because although it has only one surface, that surface is effectively infinite - so it never runs out.

       But when youtear off the sheetyou used, won't you break the strip, causing it become again a rather short long piece of paper? if you leave it on, then it will start to smell.
Rmac, Oct 20 2009
  

       That is pretty much what I was going to say, although with slightly less spaces than I had planned.
kaz, Oct 20 2009
  

       If you tear the roll just right, you simply get a longer mobius strip.
