    Default Which way does the toilet paper go?

    This a big question I've always pondered how others do it.

    For me, it just HAS go to over, or else I can barely figure out how to get a sheet off.

    I can't believe you posted this. Certainly one of my top pet peeves and one that people find me nuts for being so anal about (pun intended).

    It's over the top all the way. I am forever switching the rolls in our house.

    Now for something that people find crazy - I will not go the bathroom in a public place, except if it's a urinal. So if I have to do the other, I drive home. Where I use to work was 30 miles from the house, if necessary I would drive home. I have pretty much trained my body and you can set a clock to it.

    I have always said that there are only two kinds of people in this world,,

    The ones who fold and The ones who crumple.

    Gotta be over. It's impossible to do a one handed tp rip if the tp is going the other way. You could end up with a costly tp overrun, and that's just bad.

    Definitely over, although if you ask my wife she will tell you it doesn't matter because I NEVER put a new roll out.

    UNDER....and I fold....never crumple


    I am very particular about this...and always switch it around if the wife and kids neglect to put it on the correct way....and I did research that proved at least to me that the proper amount of resistance is only given if the paper goes under.....

    My Dad used to get mad at me because he was a cheap bastard & he could hear the roll "spinning".

    He told me that the proper way was to take 2 squares (2 friggin squares) & wipe & then fold & wipe & then fold again.

    It reminds me of the cocktail bread scene from Spinal Tap.

    I still think it's freakin obsessive to listen to the toilet paper roll from the other side of the bathroom door.

    Kazz & Steve, how do you feel about folding now .

    Over. It just makes sense.
    Who wants to jam their fingers into the wall trying to get the end of the roll when you do it under style? : When it's over the end is hanging right there to grab.


    So...do you know how to cook toilet paper?








    Brown one side and toss it in the pot.

    Um, and y'all think I'm weird. IT'S TOILET PAPER PEOPLE, YOU'RE WIPING YOUR BUTT WITH IT.

    Honestly, it doesn't matter which direction it's pointing, it's better than newpaper or a corn cob.:
