Question Of The Day. Saturday 27th Of October.

[Norachan]

A simple question for you today, but one which has led to arguments, broken friendships and divorce.

What way should the roll of toilet paper be hung? Over or under?

I hang it "over", but it doesn't bother me that much if it's hung the wrong way.

 

[Kieka]

Over. I present the patent as proof ....

We usually have the roll 'free standing' but when the holder is used its 'over' so it doesn't touch the wall.

 

[di and bob]

Over. In the middle of the night I like to be able to spin it a little bit and have paper come easily out. It won't do that the other way. Itr really annoys me when it is the other way, because you have to fight to find the end of the paper, taking way longer than it should!

 

[Katie M]

Over. I'm not a heathen.

Growing up my parents placed it under so I thought that was the correct way. However, some time during my adult life I switched to hanging it over.

 

[Columbine]

I guess I'm alone in my unshakeably strong belief that under is the ONLY way for any self respecting loo roll to be


*runs screaming for the hills*

 

[AbbysMom]

I personally don't care as long as there is toilet paper and that it is actually hung on the holder, but my husband prefers over, so that's what we do.

 

[kashmir64]

Under. I have cats.

 

[Willowy]

I prefer over. But mine is set on the back of the toilet because if it's hung up someone will shred it. Darn cats.

 

[sivyaleah]

Over. Cats or no cats, please don't make me struggle to pull the paper off the roll

 

[micknsnicks2mom]

always over. that just makes sense to me. i can easily find, even see, the end of the next sheet of toilet paper that way.

and i'm very lucky that our Dude, DeeDee, and Punky have never shown any interest in rolls of toilet paper.

 

[DreamerRose]

Over. My cats don't bother the rolls, either. Probably because there's a wastebasket on the floor beneath the rolls.

 

[Lari]

Over. Our cats aren't interested either.

My parents will do it both ways, thus probably don't care, but I've been known to turn it around at their house if I find it under.

 

[Boris Diamond]

Where the toilet paper device is located is hard to get to in my main bathroom. But when I do put some there, I put it the only correct way! Over!

 

[Elphaba09]

Over. Our cats tend to leave the rolls alone when they are on the hanger, but one of them (I am looking at you, Estella!) will open the hall cabinet, get out a pack rather than a single roll, and sacrifice it in front of my son's door if he is away for too long with his door shut.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Over. I don't like fishing around for the end. Especially in the middle of the night.

My girls always bit the entire roll; so under or over didn't make a difference for us! They only do that now when they get locked in the bathroom and get bored.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Over. Thankfully my cats don't play with toilet paper.

 

[rgwanner]

Over, if it is on a roll. But (surprise!) I have cats which have access to the bathroom. So I have a holder that is a long spindle that holds 4 or 5 rolls with a cat on the front and back. They don't bother the rolls and I just pick up the roll. Cat owners adjust.

 

[muffy]

Over. My cats never bothered it. My sister puts it under and I change it to the right way when I use hers. I guess she does not care as she has never said anything.
