Under - it allows me to rip off a string of it without the roll continuing to roll, thereby giving me much more than I wanted and forcing me to REroll the extra back up.

My roomie will switch it on me, though, so I gave up this fight long ago, and it it always "over" in my bathroom.

I MUCH prefer it to be "under," though.

My Dad decreed that the paper went over for that reason! Especially disconcerting during the middle of the night visits to the potty.
Anyway, when it does get on the dispenser
It goes over.

Definitely "over" for me! And it absolutely drives me crazy when my bf puts the toilet paper "under"...it's one of the many things that I am "OC" about

Over... DH does it under and I always change it to over. Luckily he never changes it back. But that being said, it's rare for him to put a new toilet roll on to begin with...

Neither-- any toilet paper not locked tightly away is spotted in minutes and this happens:



So it is kept under the sink, where guests have to dig around confusedly for it

I never cared, but DH was always an "over guy" and he nagged me until I made sure it was "over", and now I can't stand it under! To the point where if we go visit people and the roll is under, I turn it around so it's over....

Aww... but he looks like he's had such a good time.

Ma, can't I please lay here a while longer?!

I have to leave mine hidden.
If I spool it, they'll unravel the whole thing.
If I leave it out, they just steal the roll.

When I did spool it was over, always.

I voted neither because there was no "both" selection..I just put the roll on, and whatever way it ends up..I leave it

Would you say that toilet paper ripping is an art?


We've heard of BS Artists, make way for TP Artists
