Question 4

This will be a tough question for many of you to answer ... and may cause some of you to become very emotional in your response. Please be open-minded and considerate of other's answers.

When you put a new roll of toilet paper on the dispenser ... does it dispense from over the top or under the bottom of the roll?

Over or under? Please support your "position" in no less than 10 words.

Until I got married I had no preference. Now my preference is to make my wife happy. Over the top.

Growing up in my parents' house, the flap hung behind the roll. I now hang it over the front. I'm not sure I feel passionate about it either way, but I guess I prefer the front way.

I've heard that hanging it behind the roll helps prevent little kiddies from dispensing the entire roll onto the floor with a few swipes.

I used to have a friend who was a maid. She said that over the top was right and I've done it that way ever since.

I never noticed it before then, but now I get so annoyed when I see it behind the roll that I sometimes change the roll around...even if it is not my house.

Ahem.

What?

My Mom always told me to put the flap OVER so the end doesn't touch the dirty wall.

Oh-kay. So I asked (1) why aren't you washing that wall, and (b) even with the flap going OVER, wouldn't some part of the roll be touching the wall at some point in time?

xtyuxzmo -- Oh for crying out loud! That's the entire ass-end of the alphabet!

I think it was because of my rebelliousness with TP positioning that she wrote me out of the will.

Well, I've read that over the top is correct and I know it makes sense, but I grew up the other way and I've always done it the other way and I still do it the other way! Underneath.

(*makes note: don't let Polly use the toilet if she comes to visit*)

Answering the question posed, to the left.

Oh, toilet paper...sorry...

Well, really, that answer is to the left also.

I have one of those stands to hold the TP roll.

Plainly, Punky is the perfect ponderer of post-modern playable, programmable, and pink radios.

It HAS to go over the top! Reason - otherwise the cat has nothing to play with!

I don't have a roll preference, as long as there's toilet paper. But the dispensers where I work show that the roll should dispense from the back. There's even a diagram. 0_o

Being the happy homemaker I am, I insist upon rolling over the top.

That's the only way to fold the end sheet into a lovely little point.

Give the bathroom that adorable extra special touch that keeps my marriage strong.

When I was growing up, my mother said that it always had to be underneath, so even though I am now mumble years old, I put it over the top, since I am still rebelling!

Over the top.

Because it is the International Standard set back in 1954 during the first annual conference on toilet tissue. (anyone buy that?)

As most of you know, I'm not normally a guy who is over the top about anything.

Butt, when it comes to wipes, I always go over the top so I can see my paperwork and how much is needed.

*Punky pushes me to procrastinate imPortant purchase orders due pronto, poof*

Over the top. Toilet paper and paper towels...so you can see the end. I will change them here at work if either one hangs down the back.

And just look at some of the printed towels...for the design to be correct when you look at the roll hanging there...the end HAS to hang down in the front.

I no longer use toilet paper at home. I have switched to pre-moistened, disposable toilets. They're so refreshing and leave my behind clean enough to eat off of.
