Poll
Question:
Which way do You hand your Paper?
Option 1: Facing the Front
Option 2: Facing the Back
I know this may seem trivial to some of y'all, but it has been an ongoing battle between Me and My Wifie for 37 years.
In the Man Cave, it faces one way.
In the Bedroom Bathroom, it's the other way.
But in the Family (Guest) Bathroom is where the problem is.
Both of Us are always switching it after the other one switched it. ;D
If the poll shows I am wrong, I will live with it.
If the poll goes in my Favor, I will continue on the War against the unjustice that is being performed. ;D
This is a question I know the Family will take serious. ;D

too funny, my daughter and I have the same battle ;D, when ever she comes home
she switches all the TP rolls around.
Faces Front all the way
I'm a facing the front guy all the way..... but I have seen two valid arguments for having it the other way....
1) Kids who like to spin the roll. With it over the top it will all spool out onto the floor, if it goes the other way usually they won't spool it all out.
2) Same reason except for cats.
We don't have any cats so that's not a problem but our 3 year old has been an issue in the past.
I think i'm out on this one cuz in the end :D the paper falls the same way :D :D
Can i vote for both ways?
1. i am single
2.the dog does not play with the paper
3.I'm just too wiped out to think about it ;D
Sorry CRG i do not feel as though i was much help.
CRG, I know what to do...
Install 2 toilet paper dispensers in that bathroom. :)
One for the over roll and the other for the under roll.
Problem solved = 37 more years of happy marriage.

I thought I was the only one who has this argument, goin on 26 years.
It should be facing towards the front like in the first picture.
My wife brings this up when she wants to fight, thats when I leave.
Simply solution in my house.
Take the roll off the roller and set it on the back of the toilet or on top of the roller. Pick it up and use it whichever way you decide.
Tada....
I win.
Mail check to ....

LOL, I almost took a picture.... Since my 3 year old tried to climb up on the counter by going from the toilet and then using the TP holder as a step and almost fell, the TP actually now sits on the counter at our house instead.
I like it underneath, that way when you pull out a few sheets it does not break off. Seems like every time it comes over the top it keeps ripping off.
In my mind, the first pic is the only one that makes sense... the second pic is completely backwards... completely.
over the top is the way that it should hang. But I treally don't care as long as there is some paper there when I need it and more than the two sheets I usually find around here.
I will give you my view points on this when this is over.
I studied it from my Throne and have some deep thoughts on the subject.
LOL ;D ;D ;D Same problem on this side of the pond!
THIS is MY PET PEEVE. Be it toilet paper or paper towels. It ALWAYS comes off the top!! NEVER the bottom!!!
The first picture is correct. Children, pets, and other persons should be restrained from screwing around with the natural order.
Having said that, the second method is acceptable under either of two conditions:
• on an open-ended bar if there is a prevailing breeze which unrolls otherwise correctly hung paper, or
• if whoever has the power to make such decisions (usually the senior female member of the household) insists.
Ok it definitely has to come over the top. And here is why. When you are watching T.V. and you only have 2 min.s or less to take care of business that paper has to be where you can get it quick, cause seconds count here. If it is on the back you have to fumble around wasting precious seconds trying to get at it when if it is hanging over the top it is right there to grab and there is no time wasted so you don't miss any of your show. And believe me, as I have Colitis I know all to well about the time spent and wasted on the throne. NOUGH SAID, done, end of discussion.
Of course I know you folks and someone will have something more to say about this delicate subject. :D :D :D
Q, I hate to hear that!
You do .... do bring out some valued points.
Butt, thanks for sharing. ;D
Well I was just trying to be funny butt it was all true. ::) ::)
Facing the front. One quick downward flick of the fingers and the spool spins off a stream of paper. No fumbling around to find the start of the roll. Hanging from the back you have too many movements to get the spool to spin ....... To be honest......if I put the roll on "backwards" I am promptly re-educated by the lovely Miss Judi. Oh, and BTW the seat is to stay in the "down" position at all times unless being used by a male and then it is to be stored in the down position. I have heard many a scream in the middle of the night when "someone" (me) forgot to put the seat down and someone (Miss Judi) went to sit down and fell into the bowl. It is a scream that one will never forget. LOL
Don't get me started on the toilet seat!!! Although I am now well trained after being married for 5 years but there were many more bachelor years before that . But anyways, what I don't understand is why would anyone sit down without checking first? Seems like common sense to me, which I suppose is why women are unable to do it correctly.
The paper should always face the front. 'Nuff said.

I think it has something to do with territory. The longer you are married the less "inside" territory the male has. I am down to the garage, patio, yard and my office. I think if I did not use my office to produce an income that area would be properly marked and have rules for its use. LOL Just to throw them off a bit....try mixing the silverware up in the drawer. It is just me and my wife now and I always have to laugh when she makes a statement like. "Did you put knifes in the spoon holder?" Nope not me, I think it was that same person that snuck in here and used the bathroom and didn't put the seat down and put the paper on the wrong way. Think I should file a police report? ;D

Well you are holding out better than me. I have managed to retain the one car garage (she has taken over the larger two car garage) and she shares my office. Basically, I have the yard, 1/2 of my office, 1/3 rd of the garage space and ~ 1/3 of the patio space.
I guess I should clarify just a bit. She parks her vehicle in "my" garage which leaves one side for my fridge, tool bench, lawn stuff, generator and my other treasures. When the garage gets a bit out of shape the orders are ....isn't it about time for you to clean "your" garage? A prompt reply is always needed......I did...I just cleaned out the beer in the fridge.....be back in a bit .....gotta run to the store for a new supply ;D
Yeah what is with the seat. I just tell her "well we have to lift it so you can put it down" then I promptly make sure it is down everytime I us it. :-[ :-[
Facing the front.
and as far as the seat goes, after careful statistical analysis, it was determined that _I_ use the device more frequently than she does, therefore it is _she_ who needs to remember to return the seat to its full upright position.
Yeah, even when faced with facts and numbers, I lost that one.
I don't understand you guys, the roll spins both ways you know, I think under (behind) is the best solution becuase you are less likely to have someone dump it all over the floor with an upward spin rather than a downward spin. I don't want anything near that floor touching my butt.
So, CRG, when are you going to give us the correct answer ? ??? ;) ;D
I'd say the pole at the top speaks for itself.

I'd say the poll does speak for itself. But the correct answer is whatever she says. After 37 years ain't no poll dominated by us guys gonna change anything in her mind. If it agrees with her view of how things are to be done, CRG is doomed if she finds out about the poll. If it supports his view, then he is really doomed if he tries to use it to defend his view. As we all know there is only one way out of the argument -- that ages old solution of sucking it up, acquiesce and lie if necessary. Then go on as you would have anyway.
You can blame future misdeeds on a lifetime of habit that is not easily broken but you're working on it. ;D

Maybe cuz there are only two choices. ;)

Read it. Still, you're doomed. It's now just a matter of how deep you dig the hole.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
BuyLow, sounds like you need some scene control!!
Over the top of course and that's never been an issue for me in any house I lived in. But the side issue seems to always be to leave the seat up or down. Having grown up with two sisters (no brother) and then raising two daughters I learned a long time ago the seat goes down! What I would like to know is why I am the only one that seems to know how to put a new roll on? Oh! And running out? Never, with all girls in the house for as far back as I can remember you learn to hide you some stash!

Got plenty of that already - and she has it all! :-\
I was raised by a serious political activist who at 5'2" and 105 lbs wringing wet could about at will make some serious Federal and State level political leaders sweat big time and nearly wet their pants (I'm talking Governors and Federal Senators and Presidential hopefuls). She believed and personified the old expression
the hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation. When feminine authority is asserted I mostly choose not to argue - even if you apparently win the battle you will likely loose the war.
In MY bathroom, TP goes over the TOP.
I have no idea which way it goes in HER bathroom.
It's over the top. That way she can wheel off 20ft at a time a lot quicker.

I am with you on this one Hal, in my bathroom it goes overtop and in there is it goes ahh who cares cause I don't even go in there.
Since YOU have done all this scientific research CRG. Has SWMBO let you turn the paper around yet?
Didn't think so.

As they said in math class, QED !
It goes over the top and the seat is up when i am finished. If she does not like it then she will have to change it everytime after i am done. There are only one pair of pants and i wear them, she also believes that the man has the last word on all things that apply to the family. She also knows and agrees that women are somewhat confused at least one week out of every month and have no idea what they want or why they want it that way either. We also have a draft every year to decide what tasks around the house we choose to manage. Done.
here is all i have to say

Is that one of them there fancy drinkin fountains? ;D
I told myself I would give this till 6:00 pm monday.
That Time is here.
I am totatly devasted to see that I have been the problem to this problem.
I have sit and thought about this on numerous occasions.
I have installed and re-installed the roll while passing the time just to make sure my theory was right.
First off, Wifie buys the "MEGA" rolls and with that you have to have a different paper holder.
As the roll gets used, it tends to fall back against the wall.
So the roll "free spooling" doesn't happen.
Next, paper has two sides.
I don't care what kind you buy one side is the softest and the other side is a filler layer.
So if you buy a soft Tissue and use the under side ...... you are cheating yourself.
Based on that and the fact that God only gives you so many breathes on this Earth,
I try not to waste my Actions. (I don't walk around in circles)
IF the roll is facing the front .... when you pull it off, you have to flip it over to be able to use the good side.
I am a tri folder, not just a flip in half and slightly seperate the two pieces.
IF it faces the wall ..... the flipping is already done for you and you get to live longer.
Sooooo ...... I will leave the paper facing the front and flip it. I will lower the seat if and when I used that room.
And NOW, I will die younger than I should because I posted this question. ;D
I have had a ball reading the responses of everyone. Thanks for the thoughts on a very delicate matter. ;D
Well trust you to put a backwards spin on this topic :P :D :D :D
Just use your left hand and all is good again. ;D
