Title: TP, over or under?
Post by: Devlyn on November 09, 2011, 05:14:59 PM
I put the roll in so the paper comes over the top. How about you?

In this household there is only one proper way to put the roll in otherwise the hyper little terrorist fur ball will turn said TP into a fun filled cat toy with the entire roll pulled off and turn into confetti. So therefore to prevent the above from occurring one must put said TP so it rolls off the back.  :laugh:

Over the top, and if someone does otherwise I furiously change it.

Well, I used to work in hotel housekeeping and we were taught to mount the roll so the end would hang from the front.  The reasons we were given:  it is more hygenic as it keeps potentially soiled fingers away from the wall/dispenser (and keeps you away from where someone else might have touched with soiled fingers) and if you are using TP that is imprinted or quilted with an asymmetrical design (such as Santas or teddybears) the design will only display correctly if hung from the front.

That said, it makes sense to flip it if you have a cat and the dispenser has an exposed roll. Nobody wants TP all over the house every morning.  :)

(My own dispenser is a freestanding unit, so the whole question is kinda moot.)

Oh ladies there no question, Over the top.  But hey we never have to wrap up a pad before tossing it in the trash either.  Our gf's  for those of us that have them tend to disagree.  xD  But I'm prepared to battle over this one xD.  "I find being cast in the roll of Bad Girl, oddly titalating"  -Amy Farafould, Big Bang Theroy

Ok, the TP has to go over.

Thank you for starting this thread.  I just got a couple of laughs from this and it is a great way to start the day.

HA HA HA! ;D

Like everything else I do in my life, my roll is over the top!

That makes about 7 over and 1 under.

When we bother with the TP roller thing, it's "over."

Most of the time it's just sitting on the counter next to the potty. (Our roller thing is located in a very bad location, right next to--but slightly behind--one's right elbow.)

I'm curious...how many just crumple the paper and wipe, versus how many neatly fold it into a multi-layered square (which is what I do; less likely to find an opening if you don't crumple it)

In my house it goes over the top, but my house is feline free. Since I am the only one here it is always correct.

PS: I mostly hate to even have to pull it off the roller and would rather just have it free sitting in a basket which is what i also have

The bidet is an ideal solution to the problem, but they are quite rarely found in the United States.
