Over or Under

The question of the Universe. One that has boggled experts for ages. One argued over and the reason for divorces and child abuse.

Toilet paper: The roll, over the top, or under.

This can also apply to paper towels. Do you load the roll so the towels come over the top, or under, with the loose towel next to the wall?

So, the Over the Top argument. By loading the roll of toilet paper or paper towels over the top of the roll, it makes the paper product easier to reach. If, in a spillage emergency, you don't smack your finger into the wall as you lunge for the paper. It's easier to pull the toilet paper toward you as you sit, uh, on the throne. It has the paper hang down away from the wall and if it goes to far, you can roll it back on easily.

Also, it is institutionally approved by hotels. When you go into the bathroom the maid has the toilet paper on top of the roll with the first sheet folded so there is a point so you can pull it easily.And if it approved by Hilton, Marriott, and others, it can't be wrong.

The Under argument. When you finish pulling the sheet off, the next sheet is hanging down.

That's all I got.

I prefer the over pull for paper products. I have to resist the urge to fix the toilet paper roll when in other people's bathrooms. If I'm housesitting and the paper runs out, I replace it the proper way so that the owner can experience the ease and convenience of a paper product rolling off the roll the way the manufacturer intended.

Never said this was going to be a fair argument. Where's the fun in that?
