You’re missing the category “WHAT??? TOILET PAPER??? WTF???”
over guy, way easier.
Ann Landers said so.
Oh, Ann Landers sucks!
I always hang my dispenser sideways. I like the kind that’s just an upright spike to put a roll on.
I am an electrician, and now through Feb. we will have Kuwaitis visiting to check out their control panels for their oil refinery. Talk about a bunch of arrogant @#&&%###***,we had to install a private rest room for them,as MUSLIMS DO NOT USE T.P.,they use there left hand and then hose themselves off. PUKE. They also required a prayer room. Did they forget we saved their dumbasses in 1991? Dunno.
We were a pull over the top family until our cat wandered into our lives (literally). Now the easiest way to ensure that the TP doesn’t end up unrolled all over the floor in our three bathrooms is to reverse it an pull under. Same with paper towels. That cat LOVES to unroll things.
Top all the way man. Top so much when I go to someone’s house, and they have it upside down, I will take the liberty of fixing it for them.
Tony’s right. If you have a cat or a toddler, under is the only way to go…
Ann Landers did say it was proper to do it over, in case there is a pattern on it…. you know so the guests can enjoy it. But, she also said the assholes use more toilet paper. If you want to be cheap, do it under and let them turn it over to look at it.
Over. People who roll it under probably eat their young.
i keep the roll on top of my toilet.
Jonco must have had a disagreement at home for this to come up. I think we’ve unknowingly helped him this way more than a few times. It’s OK we’re here for ya.
Where do you all buy your TP? I haven’t seen patterned or colored TP since 1970s.
Dear god we have run out of things to talk about
Miss Cellania – From the left or from the right??
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Scott,
The only TP disagreement at my home is that one time I was accused of not putting a new roll on when the last one was finished. So now, every time I’m in that situation I make sure to announce loudly that I installed the new roll.
The rule at our house is. If you need it and there isn’t any, then YOU REPLACE THE ROLL. Same with toilet seats.
Life is too short to be polite.
I don’t see it as often these days but it used to be not so unusual for bathrooms to have a wire bail-type mount, so that the toilet paper rested against the wall and if you loaded the roll “under” it would pull away from the wall when you took what you needed, and unroll freely . . . but if you loaded it “over,” pulling on it with the customary downward motion pressed the roll against the wall so that it wouldn’t unroll freely, and you’d end up tearing off less than you want.
So–I say “over,” unless you have one of those infernal wire-bail-type holders.
If using the little half circle ‘groove’ in the wall for the
TP dispenser, over is the way to go. If it’s loaded under,
the paper lies against the wall. This next part is gross, but
stick with me for a second. The hand that grabs the paper
doesn’t always come away clean the first time and the
wall can get ‘smeared’ when getting more paper. All the
paper after that time lies against the ‘smear’, which is gross
and unsanitary. I raised all boys, so I was the one always
cleaning the wall. “Wash your hands!” was my mantra from
the time they potty trained, until they grew up. Being a good
mama, and now a brand new grandmama, I probably still say it
without even thinking about it!
Therefore, my vote is for over, which means the paper hangs
away from the wall and the grabber doesn’t touch the wall.
DJ, I don’t care left or right, as long as there is some paper available! I have a small cabinet next to the toilet where I keep extras.
Under. And without getting shit on the walls.
I have to say to Ursos Christos: Do you ever get another invitation?
People set their home up the way they want it. They live there. It’s theirs.
I bet you get into the passenger seat of someone else’s car and bugger about with the radio too, don’t you?
Grrr.
I use a towel.
Every time I go to the B&P home page today, I get hammered with virus attempts. What’s going on there??
If you have to pull it off your bottom the paper’s too weak.
This sounds like a compatability question on match.com or one of them places.
Wow! Look at the number of total votes! I guess using toilet paper is getting popular!
Everyone is doing it anymore! Hopefully it’s just a fad.
Why yes Maffu, yes I do get invites back. The way I see it is if they inadvertently leave a fly screen door open or toys on the floor then I should close the door or move the toy to help them. It’s the same with the toilet roll. My friends are busy people and may not have realised their error.
Duuude, I always forget to replace the toilet seat when I’m done too.

The answer is over, there is scientific evidence to support this as well as a meticulous German study that had some pretty solid findings
