Greetings! Happy Tuesday 



Be warned: Today's Tuesday Question will consist of a very controversial topic.

Apparently one that has plagued society for many years, causing heated debates between strangers on the internet, friends, family, spouses and children.





 

How do you place your toilet paper on the dispenser: Over or Under?

I definitely go for Over!

I put it over if I put it on. But it doesn't bother me if it's under. My mom has to put hers under because she has a cat who will unroll it. . .it drives her crazy to have it on the "wrong way" but it's necessary! :lol3:

BTW, the original patent for toilet paper on a roll shows it over, so we at least know what the inventor intended!

You know, I don't care. Honest. I just put it on and whichever way it goes is OK. Sometimes it's over and sometimes it's under. I guess we live dangerously.

I prefer it over , but I am forced to do it under by a certain kitty that likes to unravel it!

Over. I also like to fold the top sheet into a little origami triangle while I sit there, makes it look so much neater than just a torn of strip.

Over, but I think it's going to have to change to under for now since my son unrolls it at every opportunity he gets.

Over.  Under is too annoying to grab hold of.

Having said that, in the past I had a cat that really was into playing with the TP so I did do under during that time period.  Currently neither cat has any interest in playing with those, thankfully.

Over.  My dad insisted on it, and it's a habit now.  Also, oddly, Hekitty is more prone to grab a dangling "tail" if it is under.

Over only here too!  LOL, I do that in my houses I clean. Clients like it!  (well, one client does under, so can't do it there).

I prefer over, but DH drives me crazy with under. When I asked him why he does it, he told me, "That's the way we did it in the Marines."
