I have to agree with you--TP over the top. The other way just feels wrong.

Actually, I have to say that it depends on the location of the poo ticket holder to the toilet. Some locations call for an under because its easier to access. I think, though, in all ads, you'll see it placed over.

I couldn't agree more. Anything but over the top, is just plain wrong.

I am in complete agreement, G. Rex does it the other way as well, and it drives me crazy. Hence, our having separate bathrooms when we do eventually live together.

He can have his "you can lose the toilet paper end against the wall" method, and I'll have my clearly more logical method.

*sound of righteous indignation"

Why don't you guys do it like this... If you're replacing the roll, TP up. If bf replaces it, TP down... and one will have to abide this golden rule 'til the TP runs out. ahaha!

Great weekend you two!

PS. Tho one thing I learned about TP down is that, I find that it's easier to tear with one hand! Just my observation. Toodles.

i'm weighing in with under. seems to rip better that way instead of having a length of it cascade to the floor. and i floss before brushing too.

Tell him he can have custody to all the toilet paper you jointly own AFTER the divorce. :)

If the house is populated with all adults the toilet paper should roll down from the top.

If there are kids in the house too young to control the amount of poo tickets they tear off...it is helpful to have them tear from bottom.

To verify you might try looking in Emily Post or Amy Vanderbilt's books on proper behavior.

TP goes OVER the roll UNLESS you have cats as it must go UNDER the roll. (On being presented with TP over the roll, each cat will eventually determine that the kneading movement will happily spin the entire roll onto the floor.)

"Poo Tickets" HA!

Definately over the top. Its easier to get too. Unless you have a mischievous cat then the opposite so it all doesn't end up on the floor.

You are unequivocally correct, my friend, but look at the debate this tissue issue always spawns.

Unless you have a cat/dog/both who think it's the epitome of fun to unravel the entire roll of toilet paper all over the bathroom. It MUST come from behind. (Ummm ... you know what I meant).

A while back, I saw an episode of King of the Hill where Hank made a big deal about some lazy guy putting the toilet paper squares UNDER the roll. Maybe it's just the Texan way of how toilet rolls should be positioned?

Everybody should listen to cartoon morals, btw.

The toilet paper goes over the top as shown. However, what is important is having toilet paper and wikapedia is not referring to the snobbish upper class of Australia who would not even refer to t.p.

"Toilet paper should be positioned so the roll goes over the top."

Unnatural. My aunt's third husband will actually go so far as to *flip* a perfectly good roll from under to over--in other people's bathrooms!

"An immediate search on wikipedia just taught me that they call it "poo tickets" in Australia. Heehee, poo tickets."

I bet they put the TP *over* the roll, too. Then again, maybe that's understandable in Oz, what with the whole coriolis force situation.

Freakish creatures--the lot of you.

Over the top! yeppers.

For me the clearest indication that over-the-top is the better way is the custom of hotels to do so, folding the end of the sheet into a triangle. I was raised expecting to hang it the other way, but the hardworking folks at places like the Bellagio have convinced me otherwise.

I know it's not QUITE the same, if you buy paper towels with words or a pattern on the roll, it is upside-down from the front if you put it on the paper towel holder with the free end under the roll. It has to go from the front.

Who gives a sh*t.

I'm sticking with my UNDER category.

There. I said it. It won't be the first or last time I'm an outcast!

exit Blobby...stomping off and pouting.

I think the core of the argument is that if the paper goes under the roll, it touches something else before it touches my butt. This is wrong, for that which touches my butt must be pure.

Loose end cascading over the roll ensures the paper touches nothing else before touching my butt. And that is the end of the argument.

jeez, I have enough trouble getting Greg to replace the roll when its done. Usually, he just pulls it out and leaves in on top of the tank. Up or down, who cares??? just replace it!

You gotta explain to me why.

I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

I can't remember which position I took in this debate.

Welcome to having "poo tickets" as your new number one google referral.

hmmm - now I have to go home and look

So utterly wrong.

Poo tickets. Love it.

Yes, I am in total agreement on the TP issue.

Ok, yes, it must be over the top. It's so much EASIER that way. Why would you want to reach around the back and jam your knuckles into the wall behind the toilet paper when it goes the other way? Does Derrick have big knuckles from all the rapping against the wall?

And about your comment on my Corpus post, yes, Jesus does giggle when you walk on him. It's a lot like a Homer giggle, actually.

Oh, I finally checked... I put with the poo ticket going over the top
