笑！とても面白いですよ。”I'm screwed"は「成功出来ない」という。You look at the toilet paper on the left-side and it say "use the other roll first." Then you look at the toilet paper on the right-side and it also says "use the other roll first." So you can't use either one!

I agree it's *very* informal. It's like "I can't do anything" or "I'm in trouble" like Marilyn said.

It means something like "I'm in trouble" but in a more informal way. I think in this case the person meant that he/she is in trouble because it says to use the other roll on both rolls of toilet paper so he/she cannot use either of them. ^^
