CHARLESTON, S.C. -- An argument over toilet paper overflowed into a fight, sending one motel maid to the hospital and another to jail.
The maids at the Siesta Motor Lodge in North Charleston armed themselves with a plunger and mop after accusing each other of taking toilet paper from each other's cleaning carts, North Charleston police said.

idiom
A problem that is so controversial or sensitive that those handling it risk unpleasant consequences.
