How do you install your toilet paper?[list=a]
[li]The end comes out over the top of the roll.[/li][li]The end comes out under the bottom of the roll.[/li][/list=a]And why.
I’ll start.
b. I’m an underroller because usually when I try to tear off a few sheets from an over-rolled roll it inevidably ends up unrolling about 5 feet of TP. For some reason, if I install it the other way around, I can tear off sheets without unrolling any more than I want.
a.
I don’t know why, it just seems to look better.
Also an A. I agree that it looks better.
A. It looks better and it’s easier to unroll.
The only reason I can think of for rolling under is if you have cats. They like to claw at the roll, and if it’s rolled over the top they can make quite a mess. Rolled under, they can swipe at it all day and never get past the top sheets.

I was considering starting a thread on this very topic, this morning. Something along the lines of “very minor annoying things your SO does that aren’t irritating enough to actually argue about” heh.
He invariably hangs the toilet paper and paper towels so that the starting edge is on the back of the roll, towards the wall. To him I say faugh! How can I grasp the next sheet for tearing, when I have to reach back behind the roll to find it? If the leading edge is sitting right there on the front, or hanging slightly down, it’s ever so much easier to access. I’ve asked him to amend his hanging style, and now I think he just does it to irritate me. He did it this morning. I think I could hear him snickering in the other room as I removed the roll of toilet paper and put it back on the right way.
a. People who do it the other way are clearly psychopathic. Same for paper towels.
Over the top. Down the wall is just wrong. So very, very wrong.
Definitely (a). The other way, you have the roll blocking access to itself. It just doesn’t make sense.
I am a (A.) guy, I even go as far as to “fix” it for other folks who have not yet seen the light (those poor bastards).

A.
A is better if the roll is very close to the toilet, so that it is hard to reach under the roll.
Otherwise, I do B, becase it seems like the paper tears off more reliably with a firm yank than with A.
B. makes the baby Charmin cry.
A. all the way, although I really prefer not having it on a spool at all. Two fingers in the end tube, a little swirling action, and tear off what you need.
a
Because it’s easier to access. Necessary reach is shortened by the diameter of the roll.
b.
I must be some kind of sick freak. I just think it looks neater.
B here as well. It makes tearing easier as I can use my thumb to hold the roll and tear with my fingers if I’m feeling lazy.
B
Do it any other way and it’s like an addictive video game for my cats.
Wasn’t there a Simpsons epsisode where Marge and Homer lose the kids for several reason cited by a couple of social workers who happened by while Grandpa Simpson was babysitting? One of the reasons they rattled off was something like “Hanging the toilet paper in the unacceptable ‘overhand’ fashion”?
I was always a (b) person until about 10 years ago.
Then I changed, for no apparent reason. Now I’m a confirmed (a) person.
Luckily, so is my S.O.
B. I think it looks tidier and the hanging end is kept out of the way.
Myself = B
My Wife = A
All the toilet paper dispensers in our house = A
