Toilet Paper: Over or Under (1 Viewer)

[buffalojim]

If you said under, you're wrong.

 

[Cratty]

There are two types of people:

• Those that spend two extra seconds to save themselves time later (choose Over).
• Those that approach life haphazardly, dont think about it, and just put it whichever way it goes in that moment.

I refuse to accept anyone actually prefers under. If I place it under, it's because my head is elsewhere (to point 2), but I'll probably fix it later.

We can be friends.

That said, there are some folks that have animals that will paw at the roll if it's over, so they are forced to go under, lest they have an entire roll unspooled on the floor.

I think they recognize that they have made the tradeoff though to wipe their arses incorrectly vs putting their pets down.

Close the thread. Give this man a Nobel peace prize

Same here really, over the years we have had many cats and really only one was an issue.

But you did leave out the option of “just laying around somewhere”.
I’ve been places…

 

[Grimace]

Over. I’m not a psychopath after all.

You've seen some shit huh

Some real shitholes for sure. Worst one was in a Russian airport, just a ragged hole in the floor and NO paper in any configuration.

Edit: it was that way because the toilets would get stolen regularly.

This is the only legitimate reason for loading a roll of TP "under". Others are Godless heathens.

just a ragged hole in the floor and NO paper in any configuration.

Edit: it was that way because the toilets would get stolen regularly.

I first experienced the "hole in the floor" toilets in the late 70's/early 80's in what was then Yugoslavia. As mentioned, toilet paper was unheard of (fortunately I had brought my own). There was a hose laying on the floor to wash the lumps of poo into the hole, but it didn't seem to be used very frequently, and I wasn't about to touch it.

I later ventured through several countries in Asia, and found that western "sit down" toilets aren't at all common in many parts of the world. The simple holes in the ground from Eastern Europe were upgraded in Asia to porcelain "foot-pads", but the requirement to squat and go remained.

If you think about it, squatting over a hole (with or without foot-pads) is actually a lot more hygienic than sitting on a public toilet seat, especially in places where regular cleaning and sanitizing doesn't happen (like Russian airports and Yugoslavian truck stops).

So my guess isn't that the toilets in that Russian airport weren't getting stolen, more likely that they never were installed in the first place.

As for the over/under discussion, cats are evil - Over FTW!!!

I read this thread on the shitter after my morning coffee. Thankfully the TP was over.

 

[joeyshin]

I remember some friends having this conversation.

Guy 1: “hey how do you use your toilet paper? Over or under?”

Guy 2: “WTF man. Over of course”

Guy 1: “why ‘of course?’ Some people use it under”

Guy: “Who TF wipes under?”



Lol

 

[joeyshin]

Also there’s this.

 

[detroitdad]

Lol. On any given day I have 17 things more concerning than how my toilet paper is situated.

Sounds like a slow day.

We're empty nesters so that has limited my daily concerns.

I think the real divisive question is scrunched vs folded.

Spoiler alert: folded is the right answer.
