s/o Toilet Paper: Over or Under?

I used to be an Over girl, but now I prefer under... mostly because it's easier to grab some quick if I'm helping a certain toddler use a public restroom.

Re: s/o Toilet Paper: Over or Under?

  • over.  under allows for too much excess rolling.

  • Over. My roommate was under. This led to many passive aggressive switches.

  • Really don't care that much. When my cat was younger it had to be under because otherwise she would paw at the roll and unwind the whole damn thing when I was away at work. Now I don't care. It's one of those things that I have no idea why it bothers people that much. 
  • When I was a kid, my dad had a full-on rage-filled freak-out meltdown fit one night where he called a whole-house meeting to instruct us on the proper way (over).  You could tell it was one of those things that just was just the last fwcking straw, ya know?  We laughed our asses off at him, and to this day I giggle a little bit when I hang it going under. 

  • I was an under gal, but about 2 months ago my husband and I were randomly talking about this. Apparently he prefers over, so after 5 years of marriage, I've switched to over to give him a few years of his preference. Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me which way it goes, as long as an empty roll isn't left on.

  • Usually at home over, just out of habit. Unfortunately that means my cat unrolls the whole damn thing when the mood strikes. At work the dispensers have two rolls, the top one kind of resting on the bottom one (all these stupid things are broken) and it makes me irrationally ragey when the bottom roll is over, it is impossible to get more than a sheet at a time unless it is under.
  • Over.  Always over.  This is one of my odd (ok, anal) quirks.  

    For some reason, I usually change it in the master bath, and my husband changes it in the guest bath.  He's an under.  I try really hard to leave it the way he does it as to not be *that* person...but I usually will flip it over when I just can't take it anymore.

    *hangs head in shame*

    I have other redeeming qualities.

  • OVER for reals.

  • Over

    H puts it over or under, he doesn't pay attention. I'm glad he replaces the roll but as soon as I see it is under, I have to switch it to over.

    EmilyJ, don't feel bad, I don't even try to leave it under, I flip it over as soon as I find it!

  • Over, always.   Even with a pesky cat who likes to unroll it sometimes for funsies I keep it over.
  • I have my fussies too, but I can't imagine even noticing this, let alone caring.

    Oh, that is fantastic. This...this is wine. Yeah. Look what all these idiots are drinking. Look at these dicks! Obviously it's not really delicious, like hot chocolate or Coke, but for wine...brilliant.

    This is hilarious. 

    But yeah, over. And if I'm a guest in your house and use the bathroom only to find it under, there's a better than even chance that I will change it. You're welcome.  

  • Meh.  Doesn't matter to me.

  • I used to be over, but now I don't care.  And actually - for awhile, we did it under because like a cat, a young child will also do the same thing!

    But I really don't care or pay attention.  I think during my sleep deprived state when DS was a baby- just getting the TP roll on was a feat unto itself, I didnt' care which direction it went.

    Valid point.  I temporarily placed it under when my kids were younger because there were too many occasions on which I found an entire roll of TP lying in a giant heap on the bathroom floor.  I'll never forget the day my daughter discovered the joy of spinning the roll round and round and watching the TP fly off.  I was laughing on the outside but crying Type A tightly-wound OCD tears on the inside.

  • I don't actually notice either when I'm using it or when I put it on.

    Exactly this.

    I will switch it if it's wrong.

    Nice try, but i don't believe you. You have over in your name. You're an over.

    Same!

    My husband and my parents don't have a preference, so I subtly switch it to over if someone else in my family is the one to change the roll.
