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

I have to disagree. It isn't the hanging sheet that is ugly, it's the roll itself. If you have a short amount hanging from the front you have hidden half of the ugly roll making it look more aesthetic IMO.

That's not it at all... it's that the two options are representations of the male and female genitalia. Think about it... one hanging out, the other hidden.
