Me: Front hanging everytime. My Mum’s always been a back hanger. Difficult, difficult childhood.
…I’m hoping this wins the most pointless question in the history of SDMBs award…
Back hanger.
Back-hanging.
Sometimes -though rarely- I will fix the way the roll is set up in someone else’s bathroom. (I KNOW I’m not the only one to do this.)
It seems so much more natural to measure out the proper amount when your arm is more fully extended. Just one, steady downward pull, a sharp, separating tug, and VOILA --the perfect amount every time.
The front-hanging roll requires more than one pull thereby throwing off the subtle delicacies of proper toilet paper extraction. A pox on all of you front-hangers.
Back-hanging results in the end of the paper (after the pervious person tore off his or her portion) hiding behind the roll in the little concave recess of the fixture. To locate where the paper begins for proper dispencing, you have to spin the roll around, wet your fingers and grope the roll to get it started again.
If you have the common sense that god gave gravel and hang your t-paper over the front, a few squares will always hang down after you tear off your portion. This makes it easy for the next person to use.
Also my cat likes it that way.
No, you’re not the only one. If I ever see the paper hung in the improper back-hanging way, I always make the correction.
Front hanging, absolutely.
No fumbling around looking for the ends, and the feng shui is so much more harmonious.
I personally think back-hangers should be neutered.
Stand the new roll on its end, and set it on top of the roller dispenser. Lift, tear, wipe, return roll to standing position. Avoid argu, er…,discussions, about how the paper hangs.
Plus, I hate those little spring roller-dispensers.
I must be a genius… 
Oh! So YOU are the SOB that taught my wife that little trick, ya fargin bastage.
Top only. I too have taken the liberty of fixing the rolls that are hung by uncultured folk like minlokwat. 
I prefer it in the front as well - much easier to find the end. In the past I have been involved in one of those passive-aggressive roomie wars that ended up on end in the dispenser like lost’s.
I knew I couldn’t be the only one. And to think that it’s the smart thing to do. I just thought I was too darn uncoordinated to manage getting the roll on the dispenser thingy, and then getting that ends back into the holes.
Ha!
Front hanging if you’ve no cats or toddlers. Otherwise (and this would be me…): Back hanging, and Feng Shui be d*mned! Nothing like trying to re-roll the TP when you’re in need, and one of the animals (child or cat) has been in the bathroom lately…
What you get is a stainless, vertical dispenser from Williams-Sonoma, with a heavy Italian marble base, and…
What?
I like it hanging from the back. I get the perfect “rip” that way. Never mind what Turbo Dog said, I don’t ALWAYS not replace the roll. But since he likes it in front, we are always playing musical TP roll in our house. It annoys him… Bwahahahhahaa
The way God intended it…on the counter next to the toilet.
Back hanger.
If I don’t, Max the Cat will spin the roll with precisely-timed slaps until the whole thing’s in a pile on the floor.
Front hanging, of course, for all the reasons already stated. Noticing all the comments from cat owners, my cat will not be allowed to read this thread. He has no clue about what fun he could have!
Back hanging. For reasons unknown to me, I am pathologically psychotically anal about this (no pun intended).
Give me front-hanging or give me death.
For the love of God…do not ever have a private conversation with mrs beagledave…she thinks the same way that you do.
I must kill her in her sleep some day…
I go with Ann Landers on this one, God intended that TP hang over the top (that way you see the purty pattern also)
Front hanging. I often try to fold the corners too, like they do in hotels…I often fail miserably.
Back unroller…since I have more sense than God gave gravel. Ya give one good pull and…voila! A few sheets! With the front unroller method, ya give one good pull and…wubbley wubbley wubbley wubbley wubbley…all over the floor. The cat has also discovered this technique.
Unfortunately, one of the compromises I made in my marriage involved reloading the TP in the back unroll position, which my gravel-brained husband prefers. Now, ask…who replaces the toilet paper rolls in my house? I do, of course. The (shudder) WRONG way. If I put it the right way, he replaces it and sulks.
…but he does all his own laundry…sigh…I guess I’ve got to keep him around…
