Which way do you hang your toilet paper?

Posted:
in General Discussion edited January 2014
It's an old argument... do you hang your toilet paper with the loose end coming over the front, or does the loose end go behind the roll?



Personally I don't understand why anyone would want the loose end behind the roll. It just makes it harder to get at.

    I've recently switched from "over the front" (easier) to "behind the roll" (slightly less easy). Why? Well, we have a new cat who likes to find the center of the magic, unwinding, tissue thingy.

    even more of an esoteric question... do you sit or stand while wiping?

    Over the front: 7



    Around the back: 1



    Freaks. All of you.

    does that mean you have a third way to wrap toilet paper?



    or does it sit vertically?

    They don't use toilet paper in Yurrup. I heard they squat over a drinking fountain or something.

    Couldn't vote because the tp sits vertically. This is to prevent the hand over hand action feeding the whole role into the potty by the children. It also limits the amount used at one time to a somewhat reasonable quantity. Its amazing how much a child thinks is necessary to wipe one little butt.

    how close to the wall is your toilet paper and how does it remain there? but more importantly, what is on your bathroom wall?

    There is a special place in Hell for prople who choose "Around the back".

    I have a cat that does the same thing. He plays with the little piece of TP that hangs down and goes into a fit shredding the rest of the roll. But at least he sleeps on it all night so it is not entirely wasted.

    Our cat only likes "free rolls," which she then attacks with a vengence--all four legs wrapped around the roll, biting and thumping it. What doesn't come off the roll shredded isn't much good due to the holes.



    Way off on a tangent, but we had another cat (now deceased) who would drag paper under a child's bed where the cat would preceed to shred said paper, making herself a nest. It was amusing and yet annoying at the same time.

    And every time you flush your toilet, especially if you don't close the lid first, lots of bacteria-contaminated water particles spread out all over the bathroom, hence the "don't keep your toothbrush near the toilet" advice. Since the toilet roll is at most two feet away from your toilet, whatever it is on that wall, I don't want it to touch my skin. So I hang the TP over the front.




    intriguing, my toilet paper doesnt hang in a nook, it hangs from something that allows it to clear the wall... also most of those bacteria in the water (assuming there is fresh water treatment wherever you are) are yours (or your families) in any event, mostly harmless since they already live inside of you etc.... Granted you wouldnt get as clean as you would otherwise, and no, I havent heard the toothbrush toilet advice...



    Just instinctually kept things away...
