It’s against the wall over here. My wife and I think that into the room allows too much momentum to build up and not enough resistance. THis results in too much paper comming off the roll at a time.
Plus we have cats and sometime they will play w/ it.
our cleaning lady will put the roll in backwards though (into the room) when she changes it.
btw - all of you who put the roll on so it unrolls away from the wall are just plain wrong - not the type of wrong that you will burn in hell for eternity - but lets just say it won’t count in your favor.
Another vote for the counter top or the back of the toilet tank…on the rare occasion that a new roll is strung up on that mysterious and complicated little thingy (and I must assume that it is so, since I am the only one who can figure it out, when I’m feeling Martha Stewarty) I suppose it hangs flap into the room–it’s the only way you can do that sexy little envelope hotel-style fold. /
i just have to say that i really dont care where the toilet paper is facing as long as i can wipe my butt… lol:)
But i do put it facing me if i remember …
I’ve always been an over the top person, myself, since I find it easier to get at the paper that way. However, my fiance has a cat who will unroll the whole damn thing if it’s done that way, so he’s gone against the wall.
But in the future, please don’t post a question in more than one forum. It’s called crossposting, and is considered bad netiquette and is against our rules.
Don’t worry, there’s usually someone around who can move the thread to the right forum for you. Or you can email us to make sure we catch it.
I too have had a cat unroll a whole roll of TP. However, they don’t do stuff like that anymore so I really don’t even think about which way I’m putting it, assuming I put it on the holder at all.
My sister always puts it rolling into the wall instead of away from the wall. I always assumed it was a female thing. It makes me righteously angry to find toilet paper in this state, and I always switch it, usually while saying “harumph,” or the like.
When it’s against the wall, how do you get a hold on it? While you struggle with that roll, the poop is drying and crustulating on your pucker! Every second counts!
The same here. The toilet paper holder in my bathroom is located on the side of the sink cabinet, about 6" from the side of my bottom when I am sitting on the toilet. To use it requires me to stand or twist awkwardly. Every few weeks my wife tries putting the roll in the holder, I ignore it and grab a fresh roll.
This reminds me of time I typed up a survey from factory services to the employees. It had 10 multiple choice questions and asked about ones bathroom habits and what factory services could do to make our experience more pleasant. One of the questions was which way you preferred to remove toilet tissue from the roll. The answers were a. folded into a neat square, b. pull of some and wad it up, c. roll the tissue around your hand, d. tear off tissue squares off one at a time. It only made 20 copies and intended it as only a joke for my shop. Factory services received over 50 of them and posted a message in our company newspaper that the survey was a joke and to not send them in. It is one of those times when you would like to yell that you were the cause but my job was not worth it.
