Or you could, you know, use both hands.
God forbid just put the toilet paper in there right in the first place!
Whenever I see it rolled the wrong way, I stab it or drench it so nobody can use it.
that’s the passion that this world needs
“Or you could, you know, use both hands.”
Eww, gross!! No way man, use the toilet paper!
This was the funniest thing I’ve seen all day.
This makes me sad.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Awesome.
Until your pet discovers how much fun there is in store for just a swipe or two of the paw…
You’ll switch to under that evening, upon returning home from work.
this
Just what I came here to say.
Or just close off your toilet for your pets. They should not be in there anyway. Unless you potty-trained them…
Yes, indeed, well said!
Unless the cat’s litter box also happens to be in the bathroom
Unfortunately, our bathroom does not lock. My brother and I had many fights over bathroom time, and he preferred to just bust the door open, so eventually it broke. So we left it open to signal that it’s free, that way when it’s closed, you know not to go in. Sure, you could say “but people should have the decency to knock, leaving it open is unnecessary!” but after being walked in on in the middle of changing tampons I realized that you can’t depend on people to be decent. Now that my family is in another state and it’s just me and my boyfriend renting the house, we may get it fixed. My parents never would because they figured it’d just get broken again (this happened more than once).
But in all honestly, I just slap it on the roll not caring if it’s over or under, and thankfully our cat seems to have forgotten how fun it is to play with toilet paper. She much prefers the paper towel roll. My boyfriend and I don’t care either way and my friends are weird and use baby wipes.
The over vs. under debate is pretty silly. I do agree, that if cats are not an issue, over has more advantages. However these advantages are so insignificant that it baffles me how people get worked up over it. My policy is Under if a cat is going to tear though the entire TP supply in two days, howeverthef**k otherwise.
If there’s any tp left to hang, that is.
Oh, wise creator of useless information. I see you have worked hard on your argument, but you obviously don’t have a cat. See, these rolls of endless paper make the BEST toys for them, and if you spool it under, the odds of them unraveling it goes to zero. Nice try, though.
Or wise commenter… maybe don’t let the cat into the bathroom?
We have 4 cats and none of them can go into the bathroom.
This.
It’s not that hard to close the door when you leave.
That does create the problem of “is somebody in?” though. We leave the bathroom door ajar when not occupied so we can tell immediately if the bathroom’s free.
……knock?
Way to be insensitive to deaf people, jerk.
lol
You think Deaf people can’t feel vibrations? Jerk.
Knocking requires waiting for a no-response timeout, failing the “tell immediately”.
Locking, however, would address that for the occupant, as well as checking for the glow of the lights being on for the entrant.
In Dutch restrooms and toilets, we usually have a red colored slide that comes into view automatically when you lock the door. A great idea, we should export it to other countries.
In other news: Thanks OP for pointing it out, I just hope more people will listen. Closing doors keeps your pets out btw.
Sorry hipster, but your country is not unique. At least here in Spain, all public toilet doors have that system.
And England. but ours have a wheel or slider – Unlocked its green, locked its red.
uhm…
I think, Mr./Ms./Mrs./… G. James just MIGHT have been a little ironic here… after all, it IS a widespread system.
Except then the air doesn’t circulate and the room stays warm and damp from the shower, and creates a mold problem. Plus a closed door drives cats crazy. They will paw at that door all night long.
If all the air circulation your bathroom gets is from the AC blowing air out the door then you really need to look into getting a vent fan. Also, I’d rather my cat uselessly paw under a door than take out the last roll of TP.
Our bathroom door doesn’t close unless you lock it from the inside.
So you have a room for pooping in and the place where the cats poop (the cat box) is not in there? Or do you escort them in when they let you know they have to poop?
well – our architect thought a bathroom should be a size that putting a litterbox in there would make us litterally stand in it while peeing would be a good idea.
so – no, our litterbox is in another room. we close the door and as there’s no window in there, we know when it’s occupied because the light is on and the ligth switch has an indicator…
problem solved. ^^
I have had 20 cats in my lifetime, and NONE of them have EVER unspooled a roll of toilet paper.
Same^ My cat don’t give two s**ts about what’s in the bathroom.
Same goes for toddlers. And they can reach door handle if you close the door.
I see what you did there.
i leave my bathroom door wide open all the time. my cat has never done this. and my tp rolls over, the way it SHOULD BE
THIS.
And to those saying just shut the door – both my kitten and my cat can open the bathroom door with minimal effort, and the lock doesn’t work.
And I’m guessing people who do shut their bathroom doors *never* forget and leave it ajar, returning to masses of ripped paper pooled on the floor.
AND people, just because your cat does not do it, doesn’t mean other people’s cats will not. My cats will play with anything that isn’t nailed down or hidden. And even some stuff that is.
Well, people with the case of not having a cat or having a cat that doesn’t care about a toilet, vs people with the case that have a cat obsessed with the toilet and can’t afford an operative door lock, is 20 to 1. So that means It SHOULD be used over.
My cat doesnt even care about the toilet paper and we don’t close off the bathroom to her.
We dont discriminate in our house against over or under paper, we just stick it on and use it. Can’t say I’ve ever experienced any of the problems the OP has with under paper. This either means that I have super awesome TP usage ability or the OP is doing it wrong. Or both.
No matter how hard you try, you will always fail at making the “up”-option better than the “under”-option.
Every point you listed requires about 5 minutes in total to master.
It takes 5 minutes to master looking at toilet paper? And pulling on it?
Those are 2 things that should be pretty easy even without practice. And if anything, it would only take longer to master for under.
The toilet paper manufacturers designed it to be installed and rolled over the top. i think they know how their own product should be used.
This presumes the dispenser is below eye level. Above, the opposite direction wins the same argument. And a higher installation also counters the pet problem.
This is something I shall personnaly look into.
I’ll be installing a toilet-paper roll holder on the ceiling immediately.
You may just bring about world peace.
You forgot ceiling cat. Problem still exists.
But ceiling cat is a good kitty; wouldn’t unroll paper everywhere.
This is one of my pet peeves too. And I don’t know if I have super smart cats or what, but they can unravel the roll no matter how it’s put up, so they aren’t allowed in the bathroom.
Idk if your cats are super smart or mine are just super dumb but mine only get the toilet paper if it’s rolled under. I think it’s because they can easily trap it against the wall and drag it down.
Either way, I thought this was a funny graph, unlike many of the ones that get posted here.
So true! Best graph ever!
No! Because I always tear of ONE square when it’s hanging ‘the right way’….
That’s super true!!! I always get into rage-mode when I discover that the paper is in “wrong” position (at other placed that is). In my toilet I usually leave the toilet paper on the shelve. Too lazy to put it in the toilet paper holder (or whatever that thing is called).
Obcessive compulsive disorder much?
Roll under all the way.
“My people, we have been without TP! No man should be without TP!” -Beavis
There’s your problem.
My kitteh has figured it out BOTH ways.
Maybe instead of saying awwwwwwwwwww how cuuuuuuuuute when kitteh unrolls an entire roll and making a video, you YELL AT KITTEH IN LOUD VOICE NOOOOOOOOO KITTEH, (kittehs hate yelling) you will solve the problem and can keep your toilet paper the way it belongs!!!
(Obama voters put it on backwards, that’s all you need to know)
Real men use sand paper–only sissies worry about the placement of toilet paper rolls.
I just like how the last picture looks like a concerned alien face.
can’t be unseen
I hope someone comes up with some facts about why the opposite is right. Over is the ugliest thing!
but it breaks if you have it over!!!
i’ll print this out and stick it to our companies toilett-walls !!
Unless you’re too lazy and keep the roll on the floor by the toilet.
There’s also the option of putting the roll on a vertical peg. But then you open another stupid argument over whether it should dispense to the left or the right, which again depends on whether your dispenser is on your left or your right, when you could just pull it up (or down on an inverted peg with a retaining cap).
And all of it is nullified if you can take the roll off the dispenser, take what you need, and put the roll back.
Maybe we would be better off switching to using the three seashells.
Now, onto cracking open eggs: are you big-endian or little-endian?
I crack them in the middle!
I swallow them as a whole.
this has to be the lamest discussion i have ever read..
the fact i don’t have anything better to do is just sad
You guys are arguing about toilet paper? This is why the other kids make fun of you
Awesome. Hahaha – awesome. Just the graphs had me laughing.. and then the pet lovers with smart-ass cats had me laughing more.. and somehow… these graphs lead into a charged debate on bathroom door etiquette, as well as pet training. Hahahaha!
Just goes to show that over the top IS the right way to go. The only reason to going under is an exception that only makes sense if you have a cat… pet lovers have to make sacrifices, I guess.
this is subjective, I prefer it under because it hangs and you can easily grab it and if it’s you have to spin it to find the beginning and then a lot of it might roll out. and just FYI, line of sight and holding point are wrong.
I think that over looks stupid with the end hanging out in space, as opposed to being neatly tucked against the wall. Doesn’t really take that much coordination to take off a small piece. I can also use just one hand as opposed to two.
I personally don’t care when it comes to toilet paper placement. If I can get the paper from it, then that’s all that really matters. Even when I had rabbits and they wandered into the bathroom, they never once messed with the toilet paper. (The TP holder was pretty low to the ground and my rabbits could jump pretty freaking high.)
Also, is it a bad thing that when I use TP that’s going under, I never have any problems rolling out the paper and tearing it?
This really annoys me to no end. I cannot stand the toilet paper rolling over the top. For whatever reason, I find it unsightly (not that the sight of TP in general isn’t unsightly anyway).
I take it whoever made the graph is simply not used to having TP fold under in the correct fashion, that’s why it’s apparently so “difficult” to figure out how much is left. All I do is a little flick of the roll, and tear. I constantly unravel the damn thing way too much when the flap is up top when I try to quickly tear it with one hand. When it rolls under, I use the back of my hand as a stabilizer and leave no fingers touching the unused squares.
Done and done.
You wouldn’t train your dog to roll under, so why should you?
I do neither. I just put it standing (sideways) on the right hand side of the toilet tank
i need to staple this to my parents’ heads.
Dear Lord,
It has come to my attention that there is someone far more qualified at your job than you are. So I regret to inform you that you are being replaced as my chief deity by The Great Master of Toilet Paper Knowledge.
Sincerely,
Some guy
PS: No hard feelings, right? I know how forgiving and completely unvengeful you are.
I must say, I disagree with this graph…..I’m a “Toilet paper roll under” kinda gal. It works so much better than having it over, and doesn’t look weird. IMO anyways.
Bring on the flaming.
I gotta say, i don’t understand it. I am definitely over (until a cat figures out how to unroll it), there may be “discussions” in my household if someone puts it on wrong, but I don’t understand why people NEED a bunch of strangers they will never meet to do it their way. Berating strangers for their toilet paper preference, really?
Anyway, anyone who doesn’t use Cottonelle with Aloe is a *****.
Not a fan of the aloe on TP. Feels really weird. Haha. I don’t like it. I have had a couple friends come over, use my bathroom, and flip my roll. I dislike that highly haha, and always end up flipping it under, how it should be. In my household anyways. Haha
It doesn’t feel all aloe-y; just soft.
And you’re nicer than I am. If someone flips the roll in MY house, they’re going to get a “Get the f— off my property.” Doesn’t matter if one’s (supposedly) more correct, you don’t go into someone else’s house and rearrange.
As far as I’m concerned, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to roll the toilet paper. I’m an under person because that’s what I prefer, but I don’t care if someone else does over. I will say this, though, do NOT change and/or damage my roll because it isn’t done “right”. My home, my rules.
