this is so freakin' funny...I personally never thought about it, i just always put it under myself. But DH started giving me crap about it a few years ago (we've been married 10 years!). He now has our kids trained that the TP goes OVER. So the kids will come and hunt me down to tell me I did it wrong if it isn't over the top. It's become kind of a game at our house, LOL!!

DEFINTIELY over. If it is under it is hard to find the end, and the kids just keep pulling and pulling until the whole roll is gone. I honestly don't think we have ever had a discussion about it, so I don't think DH cares.

Over for sure. I don't like to have to tilt my head upside down to look for the end and/or spin it upwards to find it. Over is so much easier!

But, if it's over, the kids call roll out the whole roll by just flipping it with their hand. LOL!

I do it over too, and since I'm the only one in my house who ever changes the toilet paper rolls, them my way is the right way.

I used to be adamant about it being over, but my hubby doesn't care either way, so I started to not care either. And now, I find that when Sadie finds her way into a bathroom and starts to play with the t.p., it takes her longer to completely unroll the whole thing if it's under.

WOOT, WOOT!!! BUY COTTONELLE or any other K-C products... I need my 401K to go back up!!

It has to be over... it was a deal breaker for my hubby... luckily, he use to design the machines that make toilet papers, so he, too, says over. But what really gets him totally excited is when he finds a roll that was made on his machine he worked on... Goodness, gracious! That is an engineer for you!

If it manages to get on the holder inthe first place I call it good. I don't care what direction it is so long as it is not sitting on the dge of the sink waiting to fall in and get soaked when you wash your hands.

Yes! The kids and DH just take it out of the cupboard and put it on the counter somewhere. Since I'm the only one that actually puts it on the holder, it is always right. LOL

Definitely OVER!

Definitely. And if I ever absolutely HAVE to use a public restroom (which must be a complete emergency because I do not like them at ALL), and it can be changed, I will change it there as well.

You guys are going to think I'm such a slacker after the christmas tree admission last week, but I'm lucky if the roll is actually ON the holder. Most of the time it's just sitting on the counter next to the potty.

Over all they way ... I HATE trying to find the beginning of the roll under or behind the roll of paper. End up getting it all over a dirty floor and then I am supposed to use it?!? YUCK. You asked to elaborate ...

That's why we squish our roll before putting it on..that way it has that little whomp whomp whomp when you unroll it so our 6yo doesn't unroll it..no matter which way it's put on.

My peeve..even bigger than those not putting it over...are those who don't put it on a roll at all. I hate community TP on the back of the tank or in a basket. It's a weirdness I have...I hate it.

Over...although right now we don't put any of ours on the holder b/c if I do Avery will unroll every drop of it onto the bathroom floor..he does it every time. In fact my MIL was keeping him one day and she put a new roll on the holder at some point during the day and when I got home she told me she realized now why my toilet paper was never on the holder lol. I mean he will unroll a FULL roll until there is a mountain in the middle of the floor..and it doesn't matter how much trouble he gets in..he'll do it again. I think it's just too much temptation for one little boy to handle

I may have to try the squishing thing though

We don't put our upstairs one on the holder cos DS (19mths) stands there and unravels it til it's all gone, so it's kept out of his reach. And when I pick it up, the end has to be facing to the right...DH keeps putting it down backwards and it drives me nuts

Definitely under! This was an issue in our house until I hid the rollers. Now the TP sits on the counter.
