Thread: TP: toward the wall or away from the wall?

There's only one correct answer: Toilet Paper is to be hung, and only hung, in the proper overhand (away from the wall) technique.

Anyone answering differently should be drawn and quartered.

I may be on the outs here....but I HATE hanging the TP. I prefer to have it sitting on the counter

haha....yes I do

I just think i get better paper distribution slinging that roll around my hands rather than having it run the risk of touching the floor and what not if i get carried away.

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

Thanks, btw

over the top! why would anyone ever face it towards the wall?

After three marriages (sigh) I can tell you that it's a man/woman thing. Most men like the TP to hang away from the wall for convenience and women like it towards the wall for neatness. The rationale, as I understand it, is that the loose end of the roll is easier to hide and provides an overall better esthetic image, like a House Beautiful magazine photo.

Over the top and AWAY from the wall.

It's so true with the kids putting it all over the floor, lol.
I put it away, but my wife does it towards and i notice a lot of people do, it ****s me lol.
