It's childish. It's wasteful. Yet it happens anyway. Every so often, someone will wrap a tree or other structure in toilet paper. This tends to happen most often around Halloween, but that's no guarantee some mischievous prankster won't pull it some other time of year. It's done in part because it's easy to drape items in toilet paper (traditionally done by throwing the roll up and over), but the toilet paper is difficult to remove, particularly if it gets wet, as the individual sheets shred and separate.

The latter doesn't quite work because Strong Mad doesn't ''get'' TP-ing--[[ComicallyMissingThePoint he just hits the house's wall with a whole roll of toilet paper]], over and over.
