After 30-40 years, I've finally flipped (the toilet paper roll)

[Bossy Monkey]

I always ran the toilet paper over the top, mostly cuz that's how my deddy did it, but also with the idea that it was slightly less far to reach. However, I always hated it when I pulled and tried to tear and instead of tearing, the paper just unrolled a mile, landing on the floor. Recently I noticed that with the paper running underneath the roll itself makes a natural tearing edge, so the great unrolling is significantly less likely to happen. So I've flipped. And my question for you is, not do you unroll the toilet paper over or under, but rather do you have a rationale behind your choice and if so, what is it? Hmmm?

1. Welcome to the dark side

We've been waiting.

[BlueJazz]

21. Anybody who doesn't run it over the Top is simply Uncivilized.

[harmonicon]

2. you disgust me

under is so wrong. Why? Because, over is the right way. Do you now use a spoon upside down too? Pathetic.

[Bossy Monkey]

3. Yes, and you'd hardly believe how much weight I've lost

:P

[Tektonik]

4. Only slovenly people use the over method

My momma taught me to unroll it from under. :D

[Skittles]

5. that is ass-kick worthy

you should run it over the top because that is how I fucking do it

[Bossy Monkey]

6. I fucking did for 30 or 40 years; doesn't that count? n/t

[Skittles]

20. not any more

:7

[harmonicon]

25. "but... but... your honor!!...

I didn't rape at all for 30 to 40 years, where's my credit for that?!?!"

[Skittles]

19. dup

[Orrex]

7. Why don't you just stomp on some kittens while you're at it?

What kind of a monster are you? Bad enough that you engage in this sort of perversity, but to broadcast it with an air of pride?


Bad form. Bad form.

[graywarrior]

8. You can't make the courtesy fold if you run it from under.

God...you'd never get a job at Motel 6.

[DS1]

9. It still amazes me how something so fucking irrelevant to anything, even by lounge standards,

manages to show up every six months.

[graywarrior]

10. It's the shits, ain't it?

[Xipe Totec]

15. See #13 for why six months...

[harmonicon]

26. you don't poop then?

[sarge43]

33. You were expecting maybe an analysis of Kant or Descartes?

[pokerfan]

11. What about the third option?

[surrealAmerican]

16. I now use the third option. Why? ...

... because, if I hang the toilet paper, my dog will grab the end, unroll all the paper, and distribute it about the house.

[Ptah]

17. not so fast.

Right or Left?

[pokerfan]

24. Hadn't considered that

I choose left. Everyone else is a heretic.

[DainBramaged]

12. Fourth option

64 in a box (they are big too), that's 32 shits. Not bad, more than a month's supply. Depending on your circumstances.

[Xipe Totec]

13. It's a summer/winter thing in our house

in the Summer, over the top. In the Winter, on the bottom.

Why?

I have forced air heating, vents on the floor.

In the Winter, if the roll is over the top, the air from the vent blows on the toilet paper roll and unrolls the entire roll onto the floor.

14. If you have cats that must be fun.

[Jamastiene]

18. Wait! Hold on!

:popcorn:

:beer:

Okay, GO!

[onlyadream]

28. Is that a runescape guy?

My 9yo son is flipping out...

[Jamastiene]

30. Yup, that's my character in the game.

Wearing a Robin and Full Blessed Guthix dh :)

[onlyadream]

31. My son says you must be *rich*

he's addicted to that game.

[Jamastiene]

32. I smithed a lot of cannonballs to get my Robin.

I love my Robin Hood hat more than anything else I have in the game. Smithing that many cannonballs (and mith and addy bolts) also finally got me 85 Smithing (which is definitely NOT easy to get) along the way. I love that game. :D

[Lucian]

22. It makes no sense doing it that way.

The only logical way to put the toilet paper roll on the holder is with it over the top.

[whistler162]

23. You should be ashamed of yourself.....

TOP ENDIN'S RULE

BOTTOM ENDIN'S DROOL

[onlyadream]

27. We just flipped it the other way...

I've always had it coming from the back bottom, now we switched it to be over the top - is that the wrong way?

And - I'm 42

[NV Whino]

29. But how do they do it at the Olive Garden?

[trof]

34. BLASPHEMER!

For it is written "And the Eleventh Commandment is 'thou shalt place the toilet paper roll upon the spinldle so that it revealeth itself in a OVERhanded manner. For to unroll in an UNDERhanded manner is blasphemous and an abomination unto the LORD!"

So it is written and SO IT SHALL BE!
