Thoughts on Thursdays...

Toilet paper on the dispenser...is the paper over from the top or from under? Mine has to be over! Has to be.

You???

You know "Thoughts on Thursday" can be about any thing...crazy or not!

Have a great Thursday,
~Karen~

    As long as someone remembers to replace the roll once they use one up, I don't care which direction it is going :)

    You're so funny, Karen! Under, for sure. It's easier to pull down than to pull up.

    Over. My dispensers have those things that hang down and touch the rolls (do you know what I'm talking about? they're attached to the top of the dispenser, and the other end touches the roll to keep it from moving too fast) so if you have them going under it's nigh impossible to get any paper.

    It had been over...but we finally put the heat register into the remodeled bathroom (it didn't have it for two years...there's still no trim:)) and it's a small bathroom, so the register is near the toliet paper. So now, the toilet paper goes under so the air doesn't unroll it!

    My mother taught me that under was proper...so it hangs next to the wall and out of sight...

    Apparently, according to the manufacturers, 'over' is male and 'under' is female. But I am definitely an over girl, and always have been!!

    Q- how many men does it take to change a toilet roll?

    A- science has no evidence of any men ever changing the roll!!

    Under, for sure. I've noticed that a few guests have switched it from time to time.

    I'm an over girl too, easier to find the end that way I think.
    I once told my hubby I prefer the paper to come over the top and he looked at me like I was a nutter. He said he thought he knew every thing about me, but he had learned something new that day! Gotta keep them on their toes!
    For the record he doesn't care which was the paper hangs, as long as it's there.

    Heh, I think it is funny that the reason Tins and Treasures mom gave for wanting it under is exactly the reason that I (and a few others I see) want it over - she wants it to be under and invisible, I want it to be over so I can see it. Hee!

    Recently in one of our two bathrooms I've started hanging it under because the cat has figured out how to unroll it if it is over. She hasn't made the connection to the other bathroom yet, so I've got one of each.

    Ever since I found my kids in the bathroom having a BLAST hitting the roll watching it unroll over and over and over again.. it has become an under roll. I ran a daycare for 9 years. When they hit the roll that way it just spins, it doesn't unroll :)

    It has to be over! I do housekeeping work, and you have to have the roll over in order to form the triangle for the next guest. =) It totally annoys me when the roll is under...over over over. =)

    Over is easier to find the end and use definitely. No nice triangles in my house, honestly I don't think of that when I'm using the toilet, and when I'm done I am thinking about what needs to be done next.

  31. reganJune 9, 2011 at 11:13 AM

    Well, of course it's over! Except at my MIL's house, where the cat loves to unroll an entire roll before anyone can catch her. My MIL's solution was to put the roll in the cabinet, without any regard for guests trying to use the bathroom! I put the roll on 'backwards' and showed her how the cat can play and play, and never unroll it! Sheesh! But that would be the ONLY time it should go on 'under'! And I'm with Desi....I've 'fixed' them at other places too! LOL

    I am an 'over' person, my husband is an 'under' guy. However, I read somewhere that 'under' uses less paper, especially with potty training toddlers. I have found it to be true. So, we are now an 'under' family!

    Looks like the "over" people have it but I definitely like it under. I just think it looks tidier.

    Over, most definitely!!! And when you can see we're running low on the roll, for goodness sakes, get a new roll out and put it within arms reach. Please. I'm just sayin...

    It has to be over the top. I've changed toilet paper rolls at restaurants, etc. before. Our bathroom is actually "on the counter" because there isn't a toilet paper holder and I'm OK with that.

  45. The Vegetarian HunterJune 9, 2011 at 3:12 PM

    Over?? Only if I want my cats to unroll the entire thing - and they will! I kid you not. Although it is at first funny to come home and find TP strewn across the entire house with a pile under the roll, its not that funny to do it again!

    Over, for me. I once had a cat who would grab any hanging down paper and run in circles throughout the house leaving a paper trail. This only happened when the paper was under. Therefore, over for me!

    I prefer "over", but if the roll is put on that way, the cat unrolls it! For some reason unknown to me, if it's put on "under", she leaves it alone! Go figure.

  60. MichelleJune 10, 2011 at 8:58 AM

    Definitely "over" except for our master bath. The cat sits on the toilet lid and likes to play with the paper, so we had to turn it to an "under".

    ReplyDelete
  61. NanetteJune 10, 2011 at 9:31 AM

    Funny, most are saying over except where a cat or children are involved. For some strange reason my Master bath doesn't have a built in holder, we moved in Feb, so I have a little cabinet in the toilet closet that the paper sits on top of right now, so mine is sideways, which is good as my Pugs love to tear the stuff up.

    I prefer to have it over, then it does not seem to end up on the floor, but I am not so picky as to change it if someone else has taken the tie to put a new roll on...at least it was not me, as I normally just find the new roll just sitting on the tub...
