TP: toward the wall or away from the wall?

The quick answer is towad the wall with little kids in the house (think of slapping the roll and having a mile of paper on the floor) away from the wall if there are no kids in the house.

I totally know what you mean and if my mother and then wife didn't yell at me, I would probably go with what you suggest. I just figured that for the purposes of this discussion, leaving the roll on the counter - or better yet on the top of the tank, was beyond the pale.

Great thread, by the way, CD :p

Your answer here just made me think:

Since this is a site inhabited by gentlemen (and ladies) lets not address the "fold" v. "crumple" debate.

Also, wash your hands after tying your shoes - this is a Sapronos reference made by a Jersey boy living in NY.

(sorry, I'm a tad punchy after a night with about 2 hours sleep)

Away from the wall, so you can easily put your hand on the top and pull the hanging bit to tear it.

The closer the TP is to anything, the dirtier that thing gets (especially with kids.)

My dream TP holder slowly rises out of the floor on a golden stand on voice command, and slowly ascends into the ceiling afterward via a fireman's pole. Dreams don't need explanations

Really though, toilet paper? Isn't there a better way? sheesh

My preference is "over the top." Looks better to me, especially if it's one of those rolls where the paper is decorated on one side. (Not something I would ever buy, of course. I would only buy manly paper, in plain white, khaki, or possibly camo, scented, if at all, with gunpowder and fish guts.)

But I have to admit KenS's answer makes sense.

And I have to further admit that the real correct answer is probably "Doesn't matter." Certainly, as far as I can tell, I'm the only person in my house who cares about it. :rolleyes:

I'm down with Rich and everyone else who voted away from the wall. It's over the top!

Its gotta by over the top for me too, I'll go so far as to change it even in another persons bathroom while I'm sitting there in order to spin it off the roll the way I want to.
