Title: Toilet paper over or under?
Post by: romevi on Thu, 19 November 2015, 12:40:31

So we all know the correct way to pronounce that carbonated fizzy drink (it's "pop"). What other things do you do or say that have a significant impact on your overall well-being?
Do you eat a fry before making sure your order is right? Do you put the toilet paper roll with the sheets over or under? Do you shower in the morning or at night?

There are three rolls of TP in the stall, each with different amounts left. The two with the most left are on dispensers / roll-holders, and the one with the least paper remaining is on top, meaning that if you used the roll on the dispenser underneath, the one on top would will fall on the floor. Which roll do you use?

[My answer - the ones on the dispensers are there to be used. The one that's not on a dispenser is a spare. Use the smallest of the ones on dispensers, so that the larger one will still be as close to full as possible when the smaller dispenser-roll runs out.]

edit: oops, forgot to answer the orig Q - over. Maybe it's slower when it's under but I will ~~waste~~ invest the time it takes to dismatle the dispenser, put the roll the right way around, and put it back together again if I need to.

The patent clearly shows it is supposed to be over:

So anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong.

I guess I am a psychopath... I don't care enough to switch it but do prefer it under.

Over for sure.
But the cleaning lady in my office always puts both rolls under...Drives me crazy

This plus the fact that any TP with a directional design is always intended to be 'over'.

If someone says they load their TP 'under', they're either a psychopath or a troll.

I shower at night.

There is no way I'm climbing into my clean bed all dirty from the day. I also shower after working out, so some days I'll have two showers depending on the timeframe.

When dirty, after a workout or if the gf is going to take a shower. (even if I already took one ;))

"Feeling dirty" has a different meaning to Bromono. Nice.

I shower in the morning. I don't feel awake until I've had my morning shower. If I skip a day on the weekend, I feel lazy and refuse to leave the house.

There are people who take showers instead of wiping.

Over, easy question.

But why use wet wipes? Bidet is so much better, you are just wasting even more with wet wipes and costing more money than a bidet.

Overall, bidets are just the more sensible option.

I cant use toilet paper holders... I have to have the roll in hand its weird but I have to do it. Even if I'm at my parents visiting, i have to the take the roll off the holder.

The only life changer i can think of right now is eating toast with jam, jam facing down so its on your tongue... makes it a billionty times more tasty in my opinion :)
