Toilet paper hanging light hearted post

Always over and front facing and I’m sure I started doing that because I read that if it hung down against the wall then spiders could crawl onto it.
However, last week I was about to use some loo roll and noticed (luckily before grabbing it) a HUGE spider on the front, so this doesn’t work.
I regularly go for a wee in the middle of the night without switching the bathroom light on so my blood ran cold at the near miss!

Bluesky I don’t remember why I stocked up on loo rolls for Brexit. Maybe there was a Gransnet thread! I saw this huge pack somewhere and decided to buy it. I’ve never had so many loo rolls in the house. I do recall a shortage back in the 70’s but I worked in a place that had ready access so we never went without.

The glued bit of the roll! Sometimes they’re so annoying to start off!

Oh yes Grandmafrench and H1954 that glued down bit just has to go. Phew; I'm glad I'm not the only one

SueDonim I didn't know there was a loo roll shortage then! This pandemic was the first time we ever panic bought anything. I'm amazed now when I see them stacked in a prominent place on special offer!

What pointy bit?
Surely you don't go to the trouble of folding it to a point like they insist on doing in some holiday hotels?
When I see someone's fiddled about with it I pull that sheet off and waste it. Ugh!

Front facing in our house.

I do the same, Smileless and when I start a new one I have to tear off the glued first sheet and discard it! Standards are so important, aren't they?

Oh yes, that annoying "glued down" bit!!!!! And if it doesn't come off the first time I usually end up taking off several layers ??

I'm a front facing over not under type too. Also, if someone's torn off a piece and not left a neat edge, I have to neaten it; is that a bit obsessive?

Neat

I must admit beechnut, I have been to house with the pointy bit at the end of the toilet roll, but I don’t do it myself, looks near though

Yep I would be changing everyone’s to over, I have flowers on mine so if I had it under you wouldn’t see them, lol

Ours is in a little cabinet with a slot for the paper, rather like a letter box, but is still has to be over on the spindle thingybob inside

??no bluesky we only ever bought our usual amount

Under for me. I may change yours if I was visiting!

At the front, otherwise you can‘t see the puppies properly!

Bluesky I’ve still got my loo roll stash from Brexit March 2019. That and my stash of groceries has been renamed my Pandemic Pantry.

My inclination has always been to hang the toilet paper so that the end is at the back - so under.

DH always hangs it the other way.

I've spent over 40 years of marriage hanging it his way.

As I frequently say, it's more important that there's some there than which way round it's been hung!!

Over not under. At least DH and I are agreed on that, but why do I find it hanging down almost touching the floor after he has used it?

I always have a few spare rolls because we live in a village with no shop but I didn't buy extra before lockdown.

Please forgive me in advance Ooopsminty. If I ever get invited to your house, you'll find the toilet roll position has been changed when I've gone. I am OCD about toilet rolls

I'm sure that the over not under people are correct

However I prefer under due to the fact I can whizz it down and get a bit more of the stuff

Slightly off topic here but are you still working through your stack of toilet paper bought at the beginning of lockdown?

Front facing so you can see the pointy bit ?

I have a pole that the rolls just slot on in a pile but if I had one of those fixtures, it would be forward facing for the paper.

Yes me too, vampirequeen,
