**I just figured out why I am suddenly bothered by how my toilet paper hangs when it never bothered me before. Um, it MAY be because I just moved from a house that had one bathroom and NO toilet paper hanger. We kept it stacked on a a shelf in front of the toilet. It never bothered me because it was never hanging in my house! DUH. I suppose that this would be a perfect illustration of why I was not nominated in the “Brainiest” category for the 2008 Bloggy Hoss Awards, huh?) P.S. I’m an over the top girl, but Backpacking Dad made some good points for back against the wall.
Do you hang the toilet paper with it hanging over the top or so that it comes down the back next to the wall? Because even though I went THIRTY-THREE YEARS on the earth not giving a damn about it one way or the other, since I moved into this new house it TOTALLY MATTERS all of the sudden and I think WWIII may soon commence.
It’s gotten to the point that I am almost tempted to ask “What Would Jesus Do” regarding this matter, but I’m not sure he ever used toilet paper so it would be a moot point. That, and I would totally have to take him in a cage match if he picked THE WRONG WAY TO HANG IT!
So, what about YOU? What way do you hang it? I want to hear what you have to say before I reveal the way I totally, positively KNOW think it should be done.
Spill it, yo!

Over the top. If it’s not that way then I fix it.
I also am an over the topper and shamefully will admit that if I am at someone’s house and the paper is hanging the “wrong” way, I will happily fix it for them. (Without telling them, of course….I am sure they delight upon the fact that the toliet paper fairy has come and saved them from upside down toliet paper)
But if you are my sister, then she gets all bent out of shape and when she is at my house she changes the paper the “wrong” way just to peeve me off. And she tells me about it!

I’ve always made sure to put it over the top. I never thought of switching other peoples rolls that were the other way though… I might need to try that.

APPARENTLY I do it differently from V.
Considering he has lived here for 16 months and this is the first I know of it, I have found he is either extremely polite (ha ha) OR he has never changed the toilet roll in all that time.
Everyone here has good points, and I am considering whether I should change?
Darn – another decision.
I am an underie – or an innie.

Coming over the front. Apparently, it means your smart.

Usually me and my husband try to out laze the other and because of this competition of laziness there is an empty roll on the holder and a full one on the counter. At least until the other person gets sick of having half wet toilet paper from water splashing onto it from the sink.
Eventually one of us will put it back on the holder and it will go over and down
so it comes down facing you.
I also really love how fancy hotels, fold the paper so it comes to a triangle.

Over the top. No question. I may or may not even “fix” it in other’s houses when theirs hangs THE WRONG WAY.

I didn’t read all the previous comments, but if Craig said under – he is wrong! We used to fight about this until we came up with the rule, whoever replaces decides. That way, we both get it our way some of the time and it rarely sits empty.
The blog gods look favorably upon you. I mean, 61 comments based on toilet paper? I had to post on my blog about this because I was so impressed and, frankly, flabbergasted. Keep it up!

Erins last blog post..Wanted: Guest Bloggers!
I came across this site due to an argument about this in my house. He swore 90% hung it from the back. I ALWAYS hang it over the top (and correct it if done the wrong way). Glad to find his stat was wrong as the majority have agreed with me!!
