Over, under or whatever?

[pb4uski]

Watching a DVR recording of The Good Doctor. Shaun is insisting that Lea, his new roommate, hang toilet paper over the top. DW still can't do it right after 36 years of marriage. What say you?

 

[audreyh1]

DH gets highly annoyed if I put the roll wrong!

 

[calmloki]

Patent shows the paper going over the top. I liked it hanging next to the wall - tidier. The gal says over the top. I've adjusted.

LOL

the joys of a single life , i am just happy there is some on the nearest roll when needed

 

[Jerry1]

Over the top. However, I agree with OZ. The first consideration is that it’s there when you need it. Even if it’s sitting on the back of the toilet on the tank.

 

[Dtail]

DGF and I agree with over the top.

Spent 200 days a year in 5 star hotels for 30 years.

Over the top. It's the only way to get the end folded to a "V" and sitting at the 10 o'clock position.

OP: This should be a survey question! (Oops, guess it is... )

My Mom did it under, but I have had that shamed out of me by several people.

An analogous survey might be: Which shaker gets the salt? The one with more holes, or the one with fewer holes?

 

[Spock]

Over the top
BUT... if you have cats the play with the roll, hanging it under the bottom will prevent the cat from unrolling the whole thing onto the floor. (which is another reason I don't have cats...

The one with the holes shaped like an S.

We'll see how this compares with this survey:

More info on the subject than I imagined! I seem to recall there was some social group that met to discuss the relative merits of over/under. I'm not sure if it was take off, or the inspiration for a Monty Python sketch - The Society for Placing One Thing On Top Of Another Thing, or something like that.

Ahhh, here it is:

Over the top, but far more important than that:

The evacuee should never fall into still water (even for a few seconds). Instead, it should encounter an already swirling bowl such that it’s on its way out literally as it arrives. 88 out the gate. One continuous process. When executed properly, it’s nearly impossible to detect that anything ever happened. Baffling that some do it any other way.

If you are in a public restroom you better hope the TP is over the top: https://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/the-correct-way-to-hang-toilet-paper-according-to-.html

 

[Mr. Tightwad]

The top is always preferable..

 

[Amethyst]

Who cares, as long as the roll is not down to the last sheet.

Ensuring the toilet seat is always Down, is far more important!

 

[Rianne]

Especially when it's dark.

And I thought I was the only one with this obsession.

if you pick "under" you might be a psychopath.

Yes! Otherwise


TP - over


Seat - down

LOL I have been taught early on over the top. I know a guy at work he would change it to under or against the wall. I always had to laugh at that but what ever. LOL

 

[Car-Guy]

I don't care as long as it's there when needed.



FTI, there's been an over/under poll like this within the last year or so.

 

[MRG]

It goes over but not at our house. Our dogs are paper thiefs and will take off running with it. Ours goes on the back of the toilet.

Yes we are over but had to go under when our two cats were kittens.

 

[sengsational]

I though this thread was going to be about betting. Imagine my disappointment.

 

[Offgrid Organic Farmer]

My wife has lots of cats.

If our toilet paper is hung 'over the top', those cats will claw it and un-ravel it into a huge mess.

'under' is the only safe method with cats in the house.
