So .... this is a big issue in our house... with 4 people, 1 who doesn't give a brass razoo as long as there is dunny paper... one who is adamant the paper should go over the roll and 2 who believe in having it go under..... so the one who doesn't really give a sh1t tends to side with the odd man out... well woman... on gender lines... its not really import, such a first world dilema but should the toilet paper go over or under (and would you change the way the roll goes in someone elses house if they had it "wrong").

 

So vote how you want but I would love to hear why you think the way you do... and just thing... you may change the mind of those like me who really don't care.

 

In case you are thinking... what the hell is the crazy woman on about now:

 

 

 

So me... I voted OVER cos that's the way the kid likes it... and it pisses off the blokes in the house... who can't put down the toilet seat so why the hell not deliberately change the hangin of the dunny roll.

Are you kidding me? There's NO Over - LOL!

Or, is that an Ozzie thing like water swirling down a drain the wrong way 

 

Oh and .... I keep the seat down in our house because I'm a gentlemen. I just piss all over the seat!

Over is so much more aesthetically pleasing.... surely its not an Aussie thing.... come on some of you Northies must prefer Over.... hmmm maybe its a bloke thing... likin it under.

I'm guessing it's more a gender thing but .... we'll see I guess? If it's a lady thing for over then over should win because there's more ladies than guys here I believe  

It was never an issue growing up.... as long as you put the empty roll in the recycle the direction of the paper was a non-event... so it didn't worry me when the ex insisted it go under... thought he was odd but meh no skin off my nose but the kid is like militant that is must be over because it looks better and tears easier... don't see a difference meself.

Next week; do Cat or Dogs.

After the vote is in on that one, we can all go for Chinese 

Definitely over. Bird is right, it tears much easier and looks better. Especially if you do one of those fancy triangles on the end after you clean the bathroom. AND since my cat prefers unwinding the kitchen paper towels instead of toilet paper, I don't have to worry about putting it under because that would irritate the fvck out of me lol

Oh it may just be a chick thing.... and a cat thing... cats would defo prefer to play with it over and not under... our cats don't play with the dunny paper... our old cat Ninja used to like to bath in the dunny and Ralf likes to knock the spare rolls off the window sill into the dunny so he can sit there which is annoying as.

We had to start putting our paper towels under because of the cat and she gets so mad when she can't unwind them. It's a crack up hearing the roll spin round and round by her, even if a few of them end up as casualties of her nails lol.

G’day

My uncle lived in a house with his wife and 4 daughters. 

Massive toilet paper use and more often than not a higher than average sewer blockages.... 

His practical advise to me was to give Ever full roll a slight squash. 

Place the roll on a hard surface, gently with the the heel of the hand on the roll apply pressure till the carboard tube in the middle gets a more oval shape.

Slows up the rotation and of course slows the consumption. 

He still left the seat in the up position every now and then, I think it was to remind the girls he still lived there.....

Chris

OMG I'm stealing that one for sure.. although in our house its the 20yo who has toilet paper consumption issues... he uses a whole role every shit... I am forever unblockin the dunny.

I agree....what a great idea....

The amount of rolls we go through for two people is ridiculous...... But ...Ted has alot to do with this .....

Ok....I'm a over kind of girl....bugs me when I see it the other way....its the little things that are important....

Living with someone with Alzheimer's.... It looks like a stick of dynamite has been thrown in the bathroom....lol....

So how long I will care ...is the question....

Under, under, under. It is the only right way to do it. And please aesthetically pleasing? It is for wiping your backside. Much more control of the dispensing when it is under. No wonder you go through so much loo roll @Doreensfree. 

Under... think about it, it makes better sense if you're trying to rip paper off the roll with one hand.

 

I'm so glad we are exploring impactful topics like this one, instead of smoking. ?

Make sure that you all vote for the under campaign. You know it makes sense. 

Over, over, over.  If it is under it can just unroll to the floor!  My mother is OCD.  You have to fold hers to a point when you are done using it.

 

 

Under!! Only way to go! ?

My husband always leaves empty loo rolls instead of putting them in the wee bin which is in the bathroom!! Drives me potty. 

I've not voted as under, over, same, same.....

I know your pain Jo.... same here when my Son visits!!! blocks it every time.

He seems to use half the roll to  line the toilet even before he starts!!!! his reason...... so it has a quiet landing!!

and the the rest of the roll to wipe.............

I quiet landing???? I know we say we are dropping some pollies off at the pool but pretty sure they don't need a soft landing.... the idea is to drown them.

This thread is Riverting.....Soft Landing ...Whaha......

Boo will like this thread ...he is a bit of a Poo expert....

Oh my goodness, who need toilet paper.  I am peeing my pants!
