Should the toilet paper and paper towel rolls go so the paper comes down over the roll or falls down behind it, coming closer to the wall?

Kay Scarpetta · 12-27-2005, 01:50 PM

Definitely fall down behind it! If I'm in someone else's bathroom, I'll change the roll to the paper falling down behind it. I can't help it, it's just one of those OCD tendencies that I must do.

Over the roll. It's what separates us from the animals.

Over the roll.

Come on people, it was the key issue in the 2nd Kennedy - Nixon debate.

Mijada · 12-27-2005, 02:33 PM

I always put it over the roll but I guess it really doesn't matter.

I saw this thing on The Rosie O'Donnell Show a few years ago...She had The Gadget Man come on (he was a regular guest on her show) and demonstrate the latest gadgets...One of them was a toilet paper roll holder for in the bathroom. You could turn it over if you wanted the TP to hang over...Or turn it to the other side if you wanted it to hang down. I thought that was pretty cool, heh.

Under definitely

I really don't care. I'm just want it to be there when I need it!

Southern Hellraiser · 12-27-2005, 02:47 PM

Behind the roll

robyrob · 12-27-2005, 03:06 PM

over the roll - it just wouldn't even make any sense to do it the other way, unless maybe you live in BIZARRO-LAND. or if your ass is where your head should be I guess. I'm sorry, but I just feel really strongly about this issue.

dawsongirl · 12-27-2005, 04:23 PM

Behind the roll by the wall. It looks stupid the other way.

Yeah, really!

I prefer behind the roll near the wall for paper towels, over the roll for toilet paper.
