It depends on political orientation. Obviously, the people who vote wrong put their TP in the holder the wrong way.

It just seems easier to get to over the top. Also, you can control premature breakage as opposed to it being against the wall. I'm a 7 or 8 sheet guy, and I hate fumbling around while in this compromising situation. Now my wife on the other hand, thinks it looks prettier against the wall, for when company comes over. Me, I need functional.

:chuckles: Talk about attention grabbing thread titles :lol:

For me it is clear that for funtionality the paper should hang from the roll over the top and away fom the wall. The other methodology of dispensation is equally obviously wrong and probably causes dermatological abrasions (on rough wall surfaces) as well as encouraging the spread of disease and internal parasites ...

... of course, if you have a cat then you are exempt from this blanket accusation

... altho being owned by a minion of Bast does throw other areas of your judgemental acuity into doubt :p

EDIT: Ahhh, I see the linked article points out the very problem areas I alluded to {assumes smug and victorious expression :angel:}

The one thing that ABSOLUTELY MUST be in the first load anytime you move to a new home: Toilet Paper. The one thing you leave behind at the old place: Toilet paper!
No EXCEPTIONS, or, you're liable to lose a pair of socks...

The only problem I have seen with the over the top method of t.p. presentation is once you use a certain amount of the roll, there is a possibility that gravitly will start unwinding the roll.

Only if you are tearing off in the wrong place and leaving a big long tail.

I'm too lazy to put it on the spool, I leave it sitting upright on the back of the toilet. Whcih is fine until you need it, and knock it half way down the hallway.....:)

I'm strictly a face-forward gal. I've found that when I have it facing the wall, sometimes my nails scrape the wall in the process.

It jeopardizes my manicure! :dramaqueen:

being the only person who knows how to properly secure a fresh roll to the holder....
I settle for it standing on the edge of the tub, not inside and mostly wet...

I'd love to know where you get TP that is either heavy enough or slick enough that grevity can overcome the friction.

As Big Don pointed out, once you use enough of the roll, if you leave a long tail, the weight of the tail will start to unroll the rest of the roll. That is why you should seperate each sheet from the roll and neatly stack the roll instead. :)
