A very important discussion re: toilet paper

[Libby Pritchett]

The future of my relationship may depend on the results of this poll. LOL Please choose one and elaborate.

[Gemma]

Haha, I've had this conversation(debate, which I win every time) with my OH LOADS of times. He puts it over, I put it under!! :D :D

[emmasmommy]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

[Denise Umlauf]

It's over. There's an explanation to it, but I can't remember why.. lol

[cindys732003]

Over, I think it's easier to find the end that way......

[MommaTrish]

over. its always been over and it always should be

[DawnMarch]

It MUST go over.

[adrianka]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

Amen to that. :-)

[ColleenSwerb]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

I totally do this too! LOL!
Yes. It goes over in my house.

[g8rbeckie]

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!!

[lauren grier]

i seriously do not care about these things :p

[KristinCB]

The only type A personality in this house is lucas.. i imagine when he gets old enough he will be one who wants it a certain way but right now hubby and I could care less. haha

[LeeAndra]

I never pay attention. I just stick it on and forget it. *gasp*

[NeverendingJen]

Over is the only option. I will change it(no matter who's house I am at) if it is wrong. lol

[MandaT]

its supposed to go on a holder?!?! We're a doesn't matter house.

[aly321]

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.

[Melissa Bennett]

Absolutely has to be over. I do not like scrapping the wall to try and get my toilet paper.

[ajf9597]

I'm an odd ball I guess, for me it's under

[carriesmom]

Over, just easier on many levels.

[neenee]

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!

[LibbysMommy]

Hubby doesn't care - he puts in on however he feels like....if I see that it's under, it's changed to over in less than 1.7 seconds!! lol

[Lyd]

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.

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. :)

[Lyd]

Oh - those are great! :)

[kresta]

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. :)

[eranslow]

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

word!

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!

[kscwgirl]

Over. There is no other option.

[mdb21]

Over. It's the law.

[Stacey42]

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.

[newfiemountiewife]

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. :)

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!

[livelys]

Over every time - much less anoying. Took a little while for DH to learn though...

[tuneskids]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

yup, same

[Paula]

It has to be under in my house. There is no other option and resistance is futile! LMAO

[taracotta7]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

I do the exact same thing! This drives my mom crazy! LOL She should just do it right to begin with and she wouldn't have to worry about it. Right? :p

[Emmy]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

same here. Cause I feel sorry for you that you've done it wrong. :p

[KyRainbow]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

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.

[eloise24]

I can't imagine worrying about it . . . there are so many bigger issues to deal with!

[Robin Carlton]

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.

[mummytothree]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

WORD!!! :D :D :D

[Balinda]

over in our house..that goes for the paper towels too.
You pull it toward you so I have always figured it should hang down closest to ya.

[scrappurple]

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 ... ;)

[Darcy Baldwin]

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. :)

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.

[nikkiARNGwife]

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 :)

[krystalhartley]

You mean it actually gets placed on the holder in your house? :D

OVER is the way it's done here.

[Nutmeg]

It has to be over...my mother changes it to under every chance she gets and it drives me crazy!

[Emmy]

If we don't place it on the holder it invariablly gets dropped in the toilet. Happened again just yesterday. Good times.....:blink:

[Lizzy257]

I'm an odd ball I guess, for me it's under

I reckon the rest of 'em are the oddballs :D Under, all the way here!

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 :D :D

[Leila]

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

[coopert]

Over is easier to find the end.

[digideb]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

Ditto!!! lol

[Megan Turnidge]

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!
This! OVER!!! I also will change it if I'm using someone else's restroom and it is under. lol

[rachaelsscraps]

I put it over because DH likes it that way- I actually just put a new one on going under to see what he'd do and he didn't notice yet! lol! But I think he only goes #2 in the downstairs bathroom so he wouldn't notice the tp in the upstairs one. lol.

[FireWolf]

LOL Definitely over here. A couple of years ago I thought I was losing my mind, because every single time I would go in the bathroom it was under so i'd change it back to over. Come to find out DF was messing with my head. He kept changing it back to under just mess with me...such a brat!

[jaylensmom]

we are definitely an over family :) if someone puts it under i just change it...

[Libby Pritchett]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm loving these answers. You would not BELIEVE the of the discussion we've had about this. BTW, I say under, and I'm not budging. LOL

[Darcy Baldwin]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm loving these answers. You would not BELIEVE the of the discussion we've had about this. BTW, I say under, and I'm not budging. LOL

That's just cause you're weird.

[Libby Pritchett]

That's just cause you're weird.

This is not new information. LOL

[junebug]

well, my toilet paper holder is missing the tube thingy in the middle so the tp sits on my sink. but i voted under. but then again i don't really care, lol.

[scrap2day]

Over...but I can actually remember my mother teaching me that was the "proper" way to hang it. Never under! Ha, ha, ha.

Doesn't it have something to do with stopping it from unrolling?

Now you've got me questioning why?

[xboxmom]

hahaha those videos are great. I am an over, maybe its because I like to it on top for total control ;)

[kristine]

What, there's no option for on the floor? That's where it ends up in our house. So I guess as long as it is on a holder it's a bonus, and any way will do;)

My youngest can't reach the holder from the toilet, so she always puts in on the floor. Then she goes in the cupboard and gets the new rolls and builds a tower. To be honest though, I've never really given the over/under thing any thought.

[sczos911]

where is the other option?

i really don't care. neither one of us does. so it's whichever way.

i'm just thankful it's changed when empty. :)

[Priscilla]

over

and out

[Darcy Baldwin]

i'm just thankful it's changed when empty. :)

amen :)

[ZaCola3]

Ours never even seems to make it on the holder-haha.

[~Julie~]

Over definitely... But sometimes it never makes it on the holder :)

[Leila]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm loving these answers. You would not BELIEVE the of the discussion we've had about this. BTW, I say under, and I'm not budging. LOL

I love you even more now, Libby. :thumbup:

[SmallMoments]

it goes over. i will change it if it's not over, even if i do not know you and am at your house :p

That's hilarious! Because I do this too. LOL

[isaacsmom]

Over is the only way!

[lovely1m]

You need one for whatever way it is when I stick it on. ;) When my son was younger, I always put it under so he couldn't spin it all out onto the floor.

[Zoe Pearn]

Well, if my little angel hadn't ripped the toilet paper holder thinger off the wall the other day, and my toilet paper wasn't sitting on top of the cistern right now (thanks Josh :thumbup:)... It is always, ALWAYS, over :)

[Milmomma]

I use to not care, got married to my dh and he would drive me nuts. It had to be over. Now its over to suit him. I'm just happy if there is toilet paper in there when I sit down!

[Giseli Freitas]

Imma an over person. And people don't dare to mess w/ me in my house. :glare: They learn fast! :p

[mlrw70]

Has to be over, just because. It is just the rule in our house, because I am always the one that changes it too.
