Toilet paper hanging light hearted post

A bone of contention in this house!

I was brought up to hang the roll with the open end against the bathroom wall. That way it made less noise when you tore off the paper.

DH was brought up to hang it the other way round.

Compromise: Downstairs, he wins, as he usually uses that toilet. Upstairs I win.

I have a thing about toilet rolls. If I come across a rear facing one I have to turn it round, even ? in someone else’s house! I can’t bear to leave it at the back. Very rude I know but it’s the only little foible I can’t seem to damp down!

Having worked in the t/t industry and learned that there are millions of invisible germs on a wall, it's front facing every time for me!

Front facing here. I don't bother with pointy bits, it is used too often to fiddle around folding points!

We always have a large stash of loo rolls (health problem), I bought 250 at the start of lockdown, have about 50 left now.

Definitely over. Our upstairs loo has the toilet roll on the wall behind it and I can just hold it with my elbow while I pull a few pieces off with the same hand.

I kid myself it's more hygienic, too, but really, whichever way it's facing, it all touches the wall. So, as long as it doesn't touch the floor....

Bakingmad, I’m glad you’ve raised the subject of size - I’m sure the pieces are getting smaller and smaller! Tbf, my rear end has expanded a bit overtime but not that much!

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

That's perfectly fine, vampirequeen!

Forward facing. If it hangs down the back there is a danger of touching the wall when using it.

Which ever way it comes out of my hand to be fitted on
I have a life and couldn’t care less... nor do I care whether my salt pot is to the right of the pepper pot or even if they are in pots

Life is just too short

Over, unless we have a young, naughty cat in the house, in which case it would be under!

People's bathrooms should be routinely searched for toilet paper facing the wrong way. There could be heavy fines.

There is nothing light hearted about this topic, indeed it is one of the utmost importance.

Front facing of course.

Now that the invasion of the DGC is closer ?I happily pass on this tip. Don't know about yours but my two use vast amounts because they set the roll a-rolling and the paper tumbles down.
SO when putting on a new one, take a moment to squeeze the roll.
The inner tube is now oval in shape and this acts as a brake!

Front facing. I thought the pointy bit was only in hotels. Yes, they have become narrower recently.

The girl who showed off her covid stash in March recently offered them for £17 a pack on a local selling page. Not sure where she has been living recently but certainly not in the real world.

Over the top, not from the back and under.

I read an article several years ago, which said that people who hang their loo paper over the top are more aspirational. And they tend to earn c£20k per annum more than people who hang their loo paper at the back and under.

I am sure it’s utter nonsense, but I often smile about it, when I put a new ‘aspirational’ roll on the holder...
What a lot of ‘aspirational’ GN’s we are .... ??

Always front facing and no pointy bits!

Forwards here.
I remember seeing somewhere that in the US, Martha Stewart (remember her?) recommended forward first. So I felt good having done it all my life... ??

Front facing and yes, I'm using my Brexit stash too!

If the perforations don't line up then separate the two layers and turn the top layer backwards.

Well, I bet the poor spider wouldn’t have been thrilled to have been wiped on someone’s bum before being tossed in the loo and drowning! And in the dark!

??

Oh and while on the subject of toilet rolls has anyone noticed they are getting narrower? DH says it’s my bum getting bigger?

Midnightschild ?????? at that tale! ? ? ?

Merlotgran, wouldn’t that depend on whether the loo roll holder was on the left or right hand side?

I remember on one occasion visiting a relative’s house, using their toilet on arrival and changing the toilet roll around so it was front facing. Before I left I visited the toilet again( it was a long visit!) and the toilet roll had been changed back!

Ditto vampirequeen I do it automatically as I think that if the roll is hanging from the back then people with dirty hands infect the wall and then the rest of the toilet paper where it rests against the wall too!

I wonder if I'm an under not over person because I'm left handed?

Forward facing for me and remove the glued down bit.

Several years ago I bought some Christmas toilet roll with penguins on it. Made my grandson's Christmas he told everyone about Nanny's toilet roll.
