Toilet roll - over or under?

[gcol]

Ok it's the old favourite..... do you have the toliet paper so it comes off over or under?

 

[mlb3c]

....and you are referring to "WHEN" someone actually puts a roll on...right?

 

[JohnD]

surely men put it over and women put it under?

 

[billyo]

you could come to a sticky end, if you get it wrong

I go under for the following reason....

Kids will often inadvertently just spin the roll towards them, and if you have it 'over' then the whole roll will just unwind before you spot them...

And I thought only Whitney Houston cared or was it Tina Turner?

If it's the opposite way of what you normally have does it bother you enough to turn it around ? (in your own house of course!)

I like that. You have swayed my vote.

Too right! I do it at work too.

Both myself & Mrs Secure are "over-ers".

Im glad to see common sense being portrayed in the voting so far

Yup, having worked in a "previous life" for both Marriott and Hilton, "Over" is the correct way, and it's how I have it at home.

It's not how I was brought up though, and has led to a standing "silent joke" between me and my Grandparents. They have it "against the wall" (fnar, fnar), and every time I use the loo at theirs I turn it the proper way, only to find the next time it's back, and they do the same when they visit me. Not a word has been said, but I know I'm right!
