I just don't "get it"

Jeni- Please enlighten me, I can't stop puzzling over this one - What is the right way for a toilet roll- or does it depend on th etype of holder?

With the tear off bit at the front, rather than the back!

Oh, the loo roll has to go on with paper hanging downat the front, according to DH. Why? Search me. In other respects, he lives up to almost everything the rest of you have said. But, our finances are in good order, our savings intact, so he really is a bit of a wonder. Just in some departments...but they count!

See, he agrees with me! Must be a good type!

I agree too! It's just not right with the loose bit hanging down the back...

Me too! It doesn't make sense to have it hanging at the back!

I think I solved this by not having a holder - I can't work out where to put one!

Yes, yes, yes the tear off bit has to be hanging at the front. I admit to being a bit obsessed over some things and have been known in the past to sort out people's toilet rolls. My daughter's have mentioned it. There is a reason toilet rolls are hung properly and it is because it is easier to pull the loo paper down if it is hanging correctly. Sheesh why don't some people realise that it drives me crazy slightly annoys some people when they see toilet paper hung the wrong way.

Thank you lovely people for your kind wishes, still hopping but doing ok!! I must admit to being set in my ways too but I figure after 62 years of life that is permitted, as obviously the way I do it after years of trial and error is the best way ;)
I do hope you are feeling a bit better "celebgran", it's amazing how one finds ways round things isn't it?

I always have my toilet roll hanging the right way and it drives me mad when someone (to be nameless) comes along and changes it to hang from the back.

Thank goodness I've never heard of this 'rule' for 65 years - & never noticed any difference in the efficiency of the 'pull'. I'm just pleased when anyone bothers to use the holder. I also discovered late in life that the opening of pillow cases should face a certain way. I'm obviously badly educated or have too many other things to worry about.

I must be strange because I have to have the loo roll hanging the other way ie. so it pulls from the back. I fear it is too late for me to mend my ways now. I have obviously indoctrinated my family into my erroneous ways so I am responsible for a new generation of toilet roll inadequates. Perhaps it's genetic

I thought it was just a man thing! nightowl

I also refuse to ask directions when lost Ella. Maybe I should have been a bloke

I am the opposite Nightowl I have absolutely no sense of direction. Sometimes I have asked a few times, because I can't remember what the previous directions were.

I won't ask for directions, either. And I'm hopeless at giving them!

There is nothing wrong with any of the DHs just that they are slow learners and in my opinion the more letters after their name the slower the learning process.

Back to the loo roll etiquette.
"Would you believe it, Mr Gad, all these people worried about correct loo roll procedure."
"Nothing new" says Mr Gad, "the Crystal Palace Bulletin Board debated this at length ... and Moneysavingexpert too - it recommends pulling from the back as it's harder for kids to pull off more than they need!"

So you're OK nightowl - you're saving the planet!

I was the Andrex puppy the other day. Loo roll in the ladies we use at the CAB was almost and I pulled it too hard. There was more than I thought and the whole lot came off.It is impossible to get loo paper back as it was originally!
