Over or Under?
« on: April 15, 2008, 09:47:36 pm »
It's a very stupid question, I know. But...

We were recently discussing this on one of the local forums I post on, and it's funny because people can get very passionate about this. I have a friend who reverses the toilet paper roll in my downstairs bathroom every time he comes over. I always know when he's been in there because the roll will be reversed.

I've heard some people say that men prefer their toilet paper to hang under, and women prefer it over. I'm really not too sure how accurate that is because I prefer it over, and I'm a guy. But maybe that's because I'm gay.  ???



So the question is, do you prefer your toilet paper over...




..... or under?

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Great question, Cody!

I have it on good authority (my ex mother-in-law) that OVER is the proper way to hang toilet paper.

For that matter, I didn't make the bed correctly, either.  The top sheet goes pattern side DOWN so that you sleep between the pretty sides.  ::) 8)

P.S.  I'm a scruncher, Sue.   :D

I definitely prefer under. My husband likes over. So the only silver lining about the fact that I'm the one who usually changes the toilet paper is, at least I can have it under.


Remember a few days ago, David, when I said that with threads ranging from "how do you feel about the death penalty?" to "ketchup or mustard?" that your forum may be the most diverse on BetterMost? Well, it just got a little more so!

I know it!!  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

You never know what kinds of questions people will ask in here!  :laugh:

And I just noticed I hang my paper towels under in the kitchen, so I can't quite figure out that deal, because I'm the one who hung them there! So at my house it's over for the toilet paper and under for the paper towels.  ???

Have you ever noticed the toilet paper hangs over at the hotels? They always make that triangular fold and put one of those sticky gold seals on it. So, all of us OVERS are in good company! Holiday Inn, Radisson, Omni and the others do it too! ;) :D

Well, maybe you overs should start stretching a white paper strip across the seat while you're at it!  :laugh:

Over  and I am pretty anal about it too,forgive the pun.I am so bad I change iti in other peoples houses.But they dont normally mind as I am the one at parties doing the cleaning.Actually now I think of it I am pretty anal re most things.Definitley sheets pattern down as when you turn the top over it is pattern up.
I am I guess a real pain to live with.But at least I am a tidy pain!!!!

Over !


I do so over, because for my maman, for my mother... I seem to recall.

Does that make sense ?
