View Full Version : TP over, or TP under?
Which way do you guys let your TP rolls sit? I'd really like to hear your ideas. All of my bathrooms are TP over BTW.

Over is the logical way.. It gives you something to grab without having to pry it away from the wall... but in all honesty men don't even change TP do they?? I usually put the roll on the floor or balance it on the towel rack.. LOL

OVER!!!!
And if I see one that is Under, I change it. Yup. That's how against Under I am. I'll even change it if I <u>know</u> for a fact the owner of the bathroom is a devoted Under user. They need to be taught the true way of the Over.
For me it's less about the initial contact and more about the tear-away. The Under tear-away is so dificult, I wonder at times if it's even worth it.
OVER. Spread the word, brethren. Spread it far and wide....
Over and out.
Neither.
I'm a floor guy...
Oh man this is crazy. I thought I was the only one who cared. I'm definately an over person. PT's are also over.

Over, preferably. I'm more worried about there actually being some than how it unrolls. :)

I dunno. It is always under in my house, and in most people's I know. I grew up that way. Maybe its a locality thing. I guess it doesnt really bother me either way though- I don't care if company thinks my toilet paper direction is fashionable.
Mykee- you crack me up. But Tim- you made me lol.

LMAO, this is about as frivolous as a discussion can be, reminds me of 'Gulliver's Travels'. Remember the 'Big-Endians' and 'Small-Endians'?
Hey what about the poor people who's TP has to go sideways ;) I say over too, I always changes it and get mad at the people who didn't do it right!
Yeah I actually bothered to put my TP on the actual roller for the last time in like 1999. Nowadays, its sideways for me too :P

Wow Marisa, that is unusual for those without hemipenes... Some ladies even put little hats on the damn things, and thats after the airfreshner thingie gets put in.
Has anyone noticed they have less and less sheets on them.. Remember when TP would last a few months?
Huh..maybe I'm just more full of **** these days.:)

.....runs for cover.............
HAHAHA Roy, not only that but I still don't understand ladies problems with the whole "PUT THE LID DOWN!" thing....I mean is it not just as easy to put it down yourself when you go in after a guy? LOL :P :P

used to be over but now under due to kids. Kids like to spin TP an you are less likely to get a pile on the floor with it under.

Jeff, I took you for an intelligent guy until now. Would you mind if I sent you a 6 minute educational video outlinging the benefits of going "Over"? It's hosted by Steve Guttenburg... tempting, eh? :D
lol :p
under if it's over i change it LOL too much residual rollin when it's over.

The residual rolling can be used to your advantage...
Using one hand, "flick" the roll to begin the spinning,
Quickly place fingertips (of same hand) back on the roll to stop spinning.
At the same time, swipe other hand and grasp 'loose' end of TP, it should separate quite nicely and you've got the perfect length.
*NOTE* This may take some practice, and different lengths can be achieved will skill. This will allow you to compensate whether last night was a Taco Bell night, or a Subway night!
OVER for life!!!

But Tim, are we talkin' about the first run of the roll or the second run?
Send away, but be advised that I don't have a VCR. Floppy drives and VCR's will no longer be in this house. DVD-only man. :D

I don't know what's worse.... this silly thread, or the fact that there are 3 freakin' pages of responses! 2 of which are mine....
.... I'm going to go slam my head in the door a few times.....
.... or maybe in the toilet seat.....
See the question truly is not OVER or UNDER, but sit and reach under or stand and reach around!!! I'm an off the roll Kind of guy, makes it easier to get a nice folded piece of TP....

Ken, make sure you lift the seat before slamming!
I've heard through the grapevine that women's biggest complaint, is splattered slamming all over the seat.

LOL... sitting on the ledge beside the toilet :o They've given up bothering me to put it on the holder, after this many years it's obviously not gonna sink in :p

Ok, sort of off topic, sort of not. Someone mentioned the sit up sit down thing. I'll never get why woman complain (not all) about having to put it down. You see when a man needs to (god help me for saying this) pee. If he comes in the seat is up he has to bend over and fight gravity to lift the seat all the way into place making sure it is up high enough not to fall back down and break the stream. Now, if he comes in and the seat is already up two things happen, 1st he thanks god that a woman from the household didn't come along and find it up and tare a strip off him for forgetting it up. 2nd, he wonders if in fact another man had been to the house while he was away and forgot it up because he is way too trained to have forgotten it up. Mailman or milkman maybe?
Now, place a woman in the same situation. If she comes in and the seat is down, like it's supposed to be according to them, great! She sits and the rest is well, it doesn't matter moving on. Now, if she comes in and the seat is up, two things happen but only one really needs to. 1st, no matter how bad she has to go, someone gets a blast of you know what. 2nd, she initiates the law of gravity with such little physical effort on her part it's probably not even measurable. She simply with one finger taps the edge of the site and BANG! Down comes the seat and she sits. No bending, no lifting no effort at all. We need to bend and lift they merely need to tap and let gravity do the rest. I ask you how is that fair? Shouldn't we men, the ones who have to put in all the physical effort be the ones losing our minds every time we come in and find the seat down? Gentlemen you'd think so wouldn't you? Well you try and see if you have to sleep on the couch as long as I did.
Man and I though Ball Pythons were picky.

Wherever I throw it to use for some other time... Usually on the floor, under the tub, on the tub faucet, garbage, on top of the toilet pump protector, toilet seat. But never the roll. Unless it is magically there.
I can't believe this is such a popular topic... never realized how cultic the TP thing is O_O

Trevor... it's not the whole effort of putting the seat down that's the big deal, it's going in there at night or something and falling in the toilet. Not the most pleasant thing to do. :p Now the seat up thing I don't mind so much, it's when people pee ON the seat and you sit in it... AAAGH!!! That's enough to send anyone running to give the male of the house heck. :D

Like I said thats why god gave women strong thighs lol

No way I don't buy that falling in the toilet thing for a minute. Men have to sit on occasion to you know. At night too. I don't know of any man who has ever fallen into the toilet at night or at any time for that matter. Also when a man finds the seat up and needs it down he puts it down no fuss or anything.lol
Cheers,
Trevor
I don't buy that falling in stuff either. I mean really, how can anyone who is over like four foot five fall INTO a toilet???? LOL

My "X" managed it. Mind you, he was drunker than a skunk at the time, but he fell into it. Got wedged in too. It was funny as anything watching him get rescued.
I've fallen in the toilet before when not paying attention... maybe I just have a tiny bum :eek: I really need that extra two or so inches on either side!

OK, i can't stand it :D You know why no man has ever fallen into the toilet at night? Because...... they have the need to awaken anyone else sleeping in the room by TURNING ON THE LIGHT. Somehow, it just doesn't count if you look first....I suggest a new rule. Seat up from 0600 - 2000.... and down for the night. Perhaps you could find a way to connect it up with the reptile lights.....
LMAO, You people are serious haha. I have never really noticed what mine is and to me it doesnt matter.
haha some of these post are almost scarry!!!!

The falling in thing is true, and damn is that water cold (not that I would know or anything :) ). It happens when people living in considerate households get a false sense of security. Accidents can happen and it's usually in the dark when very tired or drunk or sick, or while sleepwalking. Falling into the garbage can, or laundry hamper thinking its the toilet is just as scary. In all cases you abruptly find leg muscles you haven't used since grade 11 high jump.. :)

I've fallen in once or twice... and I'm 6'2". Never actually through the seat but at night, in the dark, before I've found the consciousness to turn on a light and check if the seat's down. The water's cold but not only that, it's also wet... (no sh:t Sherlock). When I turn on the light those little rods are too overwhelmed to see if the toilet's been flushed or not, so it's off to the shower... somehow I'd rather go to bed wet all over than just on my arse.
