Do you prefer your toilet tissue over or under?

[lala2332]

over, over, over. And don''t think I won''t switch it if its under....haha.

 

[sunnyd]

Over! I can never find the stupid end if it''s under, which is the FI always does it.

 

[D&T]

lol... Atroop.. what a funny thread. I never even thought about it. I like over for my kiddos to reach the tissue. that extra 5 inches really is a stretch for her when she''s on the Potty, but it makes sense to put it under too!

I always find this discussion funny! I have certain things that I am very picky about and it drives me crazy if they are done "the wrong way" (translated, not MY way!). However, I have absolutely no opinion whatsoever on which way the tp goes. I probably put it on the roll 99% of the time, because, apparently it is beyond the abilities of the rest of my family. I don''t pay any attention at all to which way I do it.

over

 

[Scorpioanne]

We both like it over, somehow it just seems wrong when it is under!

 

[soocool]

Always OVER! I will change it in other relatives'' homes in a heartbeat! Now when I come over it''s always put on correctly!

 

[Jen_91909]

haha, I''m surprised to be in the minority! I''m definitely an UNDER person. This may sound absurd, but I''m wondering if this could be regional at all? Because basically nobody I know does it over. I remember as a little girl ONE family did it over and I thought it was the strangest thing!

Over

 

[radiantquest]

thats so funny. i am an over person and it is a big deal to me. if someone puts it in under i must fix it. it is neater over. when it is under the paper hangs there against the wall, when it is over it hangs on itself and makes it look neater.

 

[Cind11]

Over! Without a doubt. It drives me nuts when someone puts it under!

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Ugh I can''t stand it when it''s under. It just feels so wrong to me. SO puts it under. I''m working on getting him to put the toilet seat down first. Then we''ll work on the toilet paper. Baby steps.

 

[Linda W]

Over over over. I can''t stand if it is under.

 

[bebe]

Over, it''s the only way.
I always have the last sheet folded into a triangle, only works with "over"

(fancy folding in guest baths)

Are you sure Dancing Fire didn''t post this question?

I have never given a thought to this, but from reading the posts, over makes a lot of sense to me and I am going to make sure I do it like that from now on!

 

[Catmom]

I only put it on the correct way. Over of course!

 

[luvthemstrawberries]

Over!

Can''t stand it any other way in my house. But at other people''s homes, I just deal with it. Hehe I never knew so many people actually switched it at someone else''s home!

Can someone explain how having it under keeps toddlers from unrolling it? Seems like that would almost make it easier for them to just grab the part hanging down against the wall and pull it all out.

I personally find that it''s easier to roll without breaking into pieces when it''s under especially when it''s a new roll. My girls love it under (like their mom). It''s so backwards to me when it''s over. Maybe I pull too hard when it''s over but it''s always tearing up on me.

over.

Toddlers usually just like spinning the roll, not actually unrolling the tp. On overs, it just comes off the roll naturally as they spin it.

Over! It annoys me if it''s under.

 

[monarch64]

I''m an "over" gal...except in one of my bathrooms, there is a vent on the floor almost directly underneath the t.p. holder mounted to the wall, and I HAVE to go "under" with that one, otherwise the air blows the t.p. so that it hangs down and looks like a cat got after it or something. It''s uber-annoying.

 

[risingsun]

It has to be over. It''s the law

and I change it when he puts it over. It drives me nuts to have to pull it hard and it breaks. I have changed it in someone's home (my cousin) and she changed it right back. We LOL

I turn the TP over, as well, when my DH puts it in the other way.

What is annoying is that all the TP holders in my house (we have three bathrooms) all have the holders installed on the left side as if designed for a left-handed person. Often I do not even have the roll in the holder b/c of that!

LOL, I just realized that this is the case in our house too. Except in my left handed son's bathroom, where it is on the right side.

HA!

Oh, almost forgot, another vote for over!!

 

[mausketeer]

I have a "modern" toilet roll holder that is just basically a plain bar that sticks out and an ANNOYING BRATTY little dog! If the roll is even ON the holder (frontwise - backwise - doesn''t matter) at ALL I will come home to TOILET PAPER STREWN ALL OVER THE APARTMENT so the correct answer for me is "on the counter". So yes, VERTICAL as someone else said! LOL.
