Your fresh toilet roll - Over or under?

[Umbrella Carp]

So when you put the fresh toilet roll on the dispenser, do you make it so the paper's origin is from under the roll or over the top?

I don't really take much notice (until just now) but it appears I am preconditioned to put it under.

 

[Lockness Mobster]

Under for life!

 

[Zolbrod]

Over, obviously.
I'm not a savage.

These are the kind of psychological questions I like to ask myself when thinking about life.

OP, your question has shook my very core and I can't help but think...

UNDER....

OR....

OVER....

I'm too lazy to go and find out so the question evades me like the quest for the perfect sandwhich.

I don't really care.

I place mine on the floor in front of the bowl.

Depends on if you have a cat

 

[sredgrin]

Not installed, on top of the toilet.

 

[Ashlette]

Doesn't matter to me. Just keep the bathroom clean for goodness sake.

 

[Kapryov]

Over. It's the proper way.

Some people with cats will do Under, but thankfully my cat never figured this trick out.

Over is correct but SO always installs it under so it's whoever gets there first.

Under is batfuck crazypills. There's no good way to tear it, and it feels unnatural to reach under the roll for the dangling end.

BTW, over is not only more popular, but it's more hygienic, because your hand is less likely to brush the germ-covered wall. Under is more likely to lead to sickness from fecal germs. Even apparently clean bathrooms are filthy unless each surface is disinfected daily.

The top of the roll is going over though, so that's still over.

i thought this topic sounded familiar but i completely forgot making that. jesus, my mind is a sieve

 

[Razorrin]

Honestly, I can see both sides of this argument.

Under is more pet-proof so they can spin it without you worrying about them emptying the roll, and it gives you the tool itself as hand resistance if you decide to tear a few pieces off, though only with an underhanded grip.

Over is much more visibly conducive to finding the last square in the case that it's fused to the roll somehow, and tearing off a square only requires bracing your middle finger down against the roll to tear a piece.

I guess the clearest way to decide is this:

Do you prefer to tear a square off the roll using the closer hand (Under), or the further hand (Over)?

These positions are best suited to actually getting toilet paper from the roll most comfortably from either position, otherwise you are making it less comfortable for no reason.

Over. It's kind of one of those things that in practice doesn't matter but it bothers you when SO does it under all the time.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Get two toilet paper dispensers. Have one under and one over. It's about choice.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends taught me over, not under. Over, not under.

I would also offer up:

- degenerates
- heathens
- reprobates

as alternative to "villain" here.

it's this tbh. Over is superior but under is an acceptable concession if you have a little bastard who would love to unspool the roll

 

[Any Questions]

Under for life!

Madness. Pure folly

 

[Red Liquorice]

Always done it under. With over it tends to run away with itself, maybe there's more resistance under so you can better get the amount you want.

I don't care how you do it.

 

[Sword Familiar]

I've got one of those holders with a lid that has sharp edges to cut the paper, so over makes more sense for me.

 

[Wag]

I keep mine on the floor like a heathen.

 

[nded]

Just shoot water up your butt.

 

[Grizzel Greedigut]

I just toss the roll on top of the towel rack

 

[John Caboose]

My holder has a bad placement in my bathroom so I just keep it standing within arm-reach on a nearby shelf.

The answer is over though. Always over.

 

[capitalCORN]

Why is it a over instead of under though? Afraid that your chocolate cornhole will touch wall germs?

 

[Deleted member 4372]

Im in here right now going to town. Over all day.

 

[Jegriva]

Over.

I am not a monster.

 

[BDS]

Anyone who puts the roll under is uncivilized, untrustworthy, likely a serious danger to society, and probably has bad taste in movies.

The only sane answer.

 

[PC98_Audi]

People who do under are probably the same who stand up and wipe.

Monsters

 

[TP-DK]

It depends on the distance from the toilet to the dispenser.

 

[Turbowaffles]

I never really think about it when I'm putting on the new roll. Sometimes over, sometimes under.

What does this say about me?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I don't trust anyone who says under.

 

[acheron_xl]

I do over, my SO does under. Her rationale is so you can rip what you need off easier with one hand.

 

[Vonocourt]

I used to do under, but I've had too many roommates who go through toilet paper like nothing and would always leave that last strap to justify not replacing it, that I just put it vertical on the roller.

 

[sgtnosboss]

where is the "I don't fucking care" option?

 

[Parch]

If you ever get printed toilet paper, with pictures or writing, it is designed to be installed over. So over is the correct answer. If you install this type of paper under, then the pattern on it would be hanging backwards and unreadable.
