Poll: Toilet paper preference

shexmix · July 2009

Was just discussing this with some friends and there seems to be a very strong preference one way or the other. What do you think?

(The third option was my attempt at humor but doesn't really help the debate.) Smile

I don't care about seeing the pattern, I just think it's easier to unroll with the paper over the top.

I would just like to HAVE TP holders in my house. Apparently the former owners didn't believe in them.

there is toilet paper with designs on it? all of mine is plain...

DH prefers it the other way. I always change it when he does it. Don't know why, just really annoys me.

Monica08 · July 2009

I voted for under! Just seems easier.

I don't know why, but it's a pet peeve of mine that the TP HAS to unroll from the top. I'll even change it at other people's houses Stick out tongue

Neither did ours. Or curtains or towel racks, haha.

It has to be over the top, I've fixed it at work before. There was a question about this in our pre-marital classes, it's amazing how many people aregued over it. One wanted it over, one wanted it under. Quite interesting.

Over for sure! I could see how that could be a problem. Luckily DH doesn't care, if its ever wrong I fix it! At work too!!

emmypants · July 2009

HB, glad I'm not the only one who changes it at work Wink

I'm with the majority with over-the-top. I thought this was going to be about TP brands, ha ha, and sadly I do have a favorite one! Stick out tongue

lelliebells · July 2009

Over for sure! Yes

Pattern or not

If I happen to notice, or I discuss it with other people

I say over the top. For the most part, it's not something I think about.

me2rean · July 2009

This reminds me of one time DH changed the TP and mentioned that he did it correctly. To which I was like "huh?" "It's unrolling from the top!" he said with a huge grin. Either I always put it that way unknowingly, or someone else taught him, lol!

Oh shiit, I thought I was the only one that did this!

RockThisB!tch · July 2009

I voted for the first one - I always have to fix the roll if it's the other way (if it's easily removable).

Oh Laurel, that is weird! In Mike's old apt., there were two holders. I thought that was a little strange, but then it worked because we both liked a different kind of TP. Now, we found one we both like, not too soft or too rough. I just sounded like Goldilocks-lmao.

Mine has to be under but DH likes it over. It has nothing to do with designs as we just have plain TP but just how it falls. Whoever changes the roll gets to decide how it faces.

datagirl79 · July 2009

I am a HUGE fan of the over the top. I don't think DH has a preference, but he knows how anal I can be, and he put it on going over the top, just so I don't have to change it.

We recently renovated and our downstairs bathroom has a pocket door. when we were out shopping for fixtures and things, I commented to DH about gettting a toilet paper holder. He told me that it couldn't have one because the only wall it could attach to held the pocket door, and it wouldn't fit. His solution was to put it in a basket on the back of the tank. I explained that it wasn't really convenient for me to reach back all the time! I eventually used gifts cards from BBB and got one that is on a stand.

Shex, you crack me up!

Ultimately, I'm not complaining as long as there is toilet paper. For the poll, I voted for #1 because that's how I put it on the holder and how I like it best.

shexmix · July 2009

Ha, thanks, Jody! I like having serious discussions about silly things. Smile Although apparently this isn't so trivial to some people!

(I do admit I switched it at ILs' house one time. But just the once.)
