Recently I read about how the way toilet paper rolls are hung on the holder can be an issue between people. While reading this, I thought, "What would people on the FFs think about this?". So I created this poll.
If you're confused by the options, I've uploaded some handy pictures.
-
Interesting discussion .......
-
ha......
-
X| hmmm... Weird question. I'll answer it next time I take the effort to actually hang it.
-
This...is...odd...
Anyway, the FRONT RULES ALL!
But sideways takes my cake, and my pie, and my cookies!!
-
...?...?...?...Umm.......Okay...Uh....Strange....I....Never really thought about it.... ???
-
I never really cared.
-
oops, I picked the wrong one
-
Um...I think it's on the floor somewhere.
-
Ours sits in magazine racks without a roller.
-
Pointless.
-
I prefer it to be free so that I can roll out what I need instead of pulling down on the paper, but if it has to be on a hanger I prefer it in front.
When I hang new toilet paper I usually put one roll on the hanger with the paper in front and sit another roll perpendicular on top of it.
-
In my own bathroom, I always have it facing the uh...user. In the downstairs bathroom, though, it's usually facing the wall. I get all obsessive compulsive whenever it is and fix it whenever it's that way.
The toilet paper should not be facing the wall at all. What does the wall need it for (besides holding it up)?
Heh, I actually once considered making a thread just like this one.
Pointless.
If you find it pointless, DON'T POST, AND IGNORE THE THREAD.
-
I prefer it to be free
Free? Free...FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Weird, but better then some polls. I think mine is foward or something.
-
Hey, it's good to see a few bizarre and creative posts around here nowadays.
But, forwards, like the majority.
-
I think it's better as overhand when the hanger is sticking out from the wall, and underhand when recessed back into it.
Just my own little rule-of-thumb.
-
This thread title looks like toilet paper poisoning. XD
-
Hey, it's good to see a few bizarre and creative posts around here nowadays.
You're right, this poll is pretty strange as polls go.
-
Upstairs, it is fronwards, downstais it is the other way around... go figure.
-
Hmmm. I just checked out dukar.com again and found that they worked on the SNES kiosk I have. http://dukar.com/Audio.htm
-
Behind is annoying. Front all the way!
-
Agreed. Front it must be.
-
I never cared until I watched an episode of the Simpsons when some people went into their house and were rating the living styles of the family and one of the persons who had entered the house said "incorrect underhand toilet paper position" or something very similar, so I figured that that position must be "wrong". I still don't care which way it faces, but when I put it on the thing, I put it in front.
-
Actually, its completly random.
Sometimes. its front.
Sometimes, its behind.
Sometiems, its free.
Sometimes, we run out of toilet paper...
-
For me it would just be front.
-
Front. I think it's harder to reach it from behind.
-
Last night I was at a friend's house (well, actually I'm still here) but the toilet paper was behind I was all, "NOOOOOO!"
-
Last night I was at a friend's house (well, actually I'm still here) but the toilet paper was behind I was all, "NOOOOOO!"
I always think that toilet paper hanging behind was hard to pull.
-
But if the toilet paper was in the front, it could fall into the toilet.
Yuck.
-
Not unless the toilet is far from the paper.
-
I've never had the problem of the toilet paper falling into the toilet...?
-
For me, It was the holder.
-
I find this topic to be pointless... I voted for some reason.
-
This strange topic is getting quite popular...
-
mario2_gold, if you have to keep saying that the thread is pointless, at least do it in The Pointless Topic.
My paper goes either way. Doesn't matter to me, as long as it gets the job done.
-
Ah ha ha! This is hilarious. I smell a new first vote for topic of the year, for now. *sprays some air freshener around*
I don't go front, back, or free. I go sideways. Actually... we don't believe in modern conveniences so we just use good old leaves from our own yard. Feels great except for that one time with the poison ivy that still scares me today. Okay, sorry, I'm acting really strange right now for some reason. The truth is I always go front and can't stand any other way. (o)_____________,
Too bad we didn't have a poll when LD's "Boxers or Briefs" topic was popular.
-

It's a shame that when the next Advanced Poster Awards come around, I bet everyone will have forgotten about this. :(

Then put this topic as your sig!

That's not funny, GG. Not even a little.
-
I have a strange sense of humor. Please forgive me. By the way, I said free.
-
*tries to stifle laughter, but gives up* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! TP!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Thinking about it now, even I think my own topic is funny.

Next question for the topic: How many of you have ever TP'd someone's house or car before? No one will admit it? You LIARS!! (I have actually never done that but probably should someday before I die)

Oh, I've done that once or twice.
HeHeHe...

Well the topic has been read 315+ times and has six pages. I don't think it is possible for a topic to be about TP for that long.
-
okay ;)
-
okay ;)
*gropes* xD
-
:( gropes what?
-
Woah, not like that. Just you in general. xD
-
Okay, you're being a pervert and ***ually harrassing another member. I've had enough of this. This will not be tolerated. It's time you get what your username is--a "game over."
-
i cant believe you said that, im digusted. im 12 years old and almost 13 for goodness sakes! that was such a perverted thing you just said. God. im though. :(
-
I'm behind Sapph in pretty much anything including this, but seeing those asterisks, I think you made a spelling error.
-
who made a spelling error?
-
Next question for the topic: How many of you have ever TP'd someone's house or car before? No one will admit it? You LIARS!! (I have actually never done that but probably should someday before I die)
I have never done this, but I once saw a video of a squirrel doing this.
-
Hooray for squirrels!
BTW, I haven't TP'd someone else's house, but it looks like fun.
-
im innocent
-
Sapphira's post about giving him a "game over" was weird... either the sophisticated irony didn't work, or she sounds like Fawful.
-
"..." to Markio.
but seeing those asterisks, I think you made a spelling error.
I didn't; I purposely asterisked that word. It's not really censored; I just feel weird about using that word.
-
Oh, okay.
-
It's time to pull out my funny *coughcough* scenario!
Little Boy: Mommy! Mommy! I learnt a new word!
Mommy: What is it, son?
Little Boy: ***
Mommy: *Faints*
-
The asterisks make it look waaaaay dirtier (when it's not even dirty in the first place).
-
Agreed.
I was trying to figure out what dirty or semi-dirty word went there for like 3 minutes before I realized Sapphira was just being weird.
-
that's funny
-
Pt_peach: I'm sorry you had to be embarrassed like that. No one should be treated that way, not even as a joke. (and even though it's not real of course). Hopefully Game Over learns his lesson and learns more about respecting online people in the future.
Btw, I hope I didn't sound angry when I capitalized the word liars. Just kidding around, you goobers! XD
Like TEM, I looked at the word Sapph partially censored and it took me forever to figure out what it was. I don't know if that means I'm just tired at the moment or I thought about it too long. Then I realised that there probably are no three-letter four-letter words. Next time, maybe you could just misspell it on purpose like "sekchually harassing." That didn't hurt too much.
-
that's okay. i was uncomfortable. i think he embarrased hisself because he got embarrased by saphhira and everyone saw it. i couldnt make out what she censored either.
-
Well, it is pretty bad to unusually harass other people.
-
youre right, it was bad
-
The word is censored anyways, I tried it and previewed it.
I was just testing! Leave me alone! ;D
-
How odd. I understood it immediately.
-
sex
-
i get it now
-
Same here, MaxVance
-
Why can't we put all this pointless nonsense behind us and talk about toilet paper again?
-
There's some on a magazine rack directly in front of me right now.
-
okay! ours is right by the toilet
-
Geez. Still one is one way, the other is the other. This is very stupid. I can't vote.
-
Umm. Is Chup posting from the toilet using his laptop? Ewww. I thought only Sims did that.
-
Luigison :D :D :D That was funny! I'm actually playing Sims 2 right now. My girl keeps on setting the fireplace and chair on fire. I'm thinking about just letting them control their OWN lives... Actually, Sims don't even use toilet paper... o_O
-
the sims get to out of control and their not clean and their horrible...that is, if you dont run their life ^__^
-
Sims don't even pull their pants down or anything! And do YOU see any toilet paper in their bathrooms? Didn't think so. Sims are gross.
-
yea, so not hygenic. we were doing a fake auction yesterday with my aunt with monopoly money and everyone was placing bid on something that "we need and will always need". guess what it was? toilet paper!!! lol
-
XD
-

Need is relative. Toilet paper is a fairly new invention.
-
well, it IS needed! *shakes head up and down*
-
Our TP is... *starts singing* born freeeeeeee, nanana nanaaaa naaaaaaaaaa... I dunno the wo-ooords, but it... is... FREE!
-
what do you mean when you said...free?
-
Free = not on or in a holder of any kind.
My father has a very old mostly abandoned house in Mississippi that he's keeping because it was part of our families. When my wife used the restroom there last summer she was stung by a wasp that was nesting in the free toilet paper roll. This winter I went there to help clean up after the hurrican and noticed the the tp is now kept in a coffee can.
-
*giggle*
-
Ugh, wasps, I hate wasps...
Yellowjackets seem to always terrorize the homes I live in.
Back when I lived in Nassau County (On Long Island), there was a yellowjacket nest behind one of the corners in our porch, so we would find some flying around. My father had someone come exterminate the nest, and he closed up the hole he found in which they came out. I also remember my mother once found a dead yellow jacket in a hot dog bun in a package she had just opened.
Where I currently live now (Still on Long Island, just in a different county), yellowjackets like to nest in the shutters we cannot use. We try everything to make them go away, but they always seem to come back. Currently, it seems like there's a nest between the walls, and they have made a hole into my room. So, every now and then, whenever I hear this odd buzzing noise, I look by one of the windows and see one flying around, in which then I stay out of my room for awhile until the lack of food and warmth kills it. I've seen at least 6 yellowjackets flying around in my room since I've moved here.
-
I don't like bees, wasps, etc. either. Every year, they nest in our house. I've only seen one enter the house before, and luckily it was dead. I still got the willies. XO
-
i hate wasps! when some got in the apartment once, i went crazy and ran around like i didnt have a brain
-
There was a wasp on the bus once and I was jumping over seats to get away from it. XP
-
Wow! Mr.Melee saw a dead bee/wasp enter his house!
-
Lol. No, I said I found a dead bee that must have been in my house.
-
lol!
yea, they even look scary
-
It was a huge bumblebee, and I freaked out. I was even younger then.
-
What a strange and unusual topic.. I voted in front, but we also like to keep it free too.
-
i freak when i see 'em
-
Bees are scary looking. Except for Charmy Bee. He's funny.
-
as this new poem I thought of would say,
always be good, love thy neighbor, honor thy mother and father,and position your toilet paper,
every day going to the bathroom is a trip, and about 4 times when mr. gingleberg makes his bean dip,
remember toilet paper runs out atleast twice a month, so roll the paper of the toilet over the front! thank you.
-
I used to know someone who didn't use toilet paper.
-
OMG! they dont use toilet paper! i wonder what they do use...
-
I really don't wanna know...
-
Maybe they have one of those Japanese toilets that has a water sprayer in it.
-
yeah but anyways 0_O
-
Oh Japanese People are so cool!!!
-
maybe they use their hands, or their shirt,yeah thats the best way.
-
ill...
-
o_O
-
eeeewwwwwwwwwwwww...
-
You Know, in my school we don't even have stalls, and of course we always get that kid who can't hold it in and makes a trip to the bathroom...
And they have to use leaves that fly through the window. That's why winter's my favorite season. I can sell toilet paper. It's Not stolen though! I don't know why everyone is staring at me like that!
*Looks Suspicious And Jumps Out Of A Window*

o_O???

That's just weird.

I'm becoming more partial to free, but front still rules.
-
[think]How could this topic get so popular?[/think]
-
I don't know. I really don't know.
-
Can you say "pointless"?
Oh well, it's a rather good laugh.
In front rules.
-
sometimes mine is free XD
-
I wanna TP a house sometime in my childhood.
-
That's bad.
-
On A serious Note, Mine is front. Last Time it was backwards and I fell off trying to get it.

At least you're nice about saying this, unlike Game Over.
-
MV has som L33T topic-makin' skillz!!1 :P
-
I noticed something. At my school, the custodians ALWAYS put the toilet paper behind, or underhand. It's odd that they always do that, but maybe it's different in the girls' bathroom... I don't ever go number 2 at school, but I can't blow my nose with paper towels like some people do.
-
You've got custodians too?
Man you guys are livin' it up at school!
-
what is a custodian? what do they do at the schools, clean up like a janitor?
-
Yes, like a janitor.
-
In my school, the toilet paper hangs sideways. :P
-
Charmin is the best toilet paper. It practically deserves to be positioned forwards.
-
oh yes! charmin, so soft!
-
Yes, I like Charmin too. I think it has the best balance between softness and value per sheet, especially the Mega Rolls.
-
Cha cha cha, Charmin! ^_^
-
Okay. That was not neccasary at all.
-
I have deleted a slanderous message that pt_peach commented on. Nothing to see people, move along, nothing to see.
-
Why, yes. Chamin. That little baby on the pack is so cute.
-
I like babies. ^_^
BTW, did you guys ever notice that on a lot of tp packs, there's a pic of a baby? One brand of tp had a dog on it, though...
-
Babies and puppies are supposed to convey an image of softness.
-
Or the fact that if you own a baby or dog, you have to clean their crap (often with toilet paper). Sorry.
-
I don't really care where it is, as long as I can get to it, and use it.
-
Huh? I can't imagine using toilet paper to clean up babies or dogs.
Garden scoop (like a spade of sorts) for the latter, disposable diapers for the former.
-
I sill wish there was a both option
-
It's impossible for toilet paper to hang in both directions at once.
-
In my house, upstairs it is one way, downstairs the other.
-
Sometimes when people stick their tongue out at me, I say "No thanks, I use toilet paper."
-
What the

Sometimes when people stick their tongue out at me, I say "No thanks, I use toilet paper."
That's sick. That just made me think of something disgusting sick and freakish. My mind now needs a disinfectant.
-
I get it!! That's disgusting... but funny at the smae time. Sick humor can be funny sometimes.
-
Ick. That's something I might say to some of the more evil people in my life... the more numerous group...
-
Cmon guys. I'm not being serious when I say it.
-
I know it's a joke, but it's still kind of disturbing.
-
That's a pretty rude joke.
-
It took over two years, but the solution has been found.

-
I don't think I actually understood the topic of this thread until just now. Perhaps I never bothered to read it.
-
I find that when the roll is hung backwards, the side with the bumps in it is on the outside, which I don't like. I like it over just because of that.
-
Sometimes when people stick their tongue out at me, I say "No thanks, I use toilet paper."
This is my new catchphrase.

Bump for new members and others who want to continue the debate.

Dear MisSim,
My husband and I are about to break up over the toilet
paper question. What do YOU say? Is it supposed to go
over the top, or otherwise? Signed, Flushed
Dear Flush, No matter how you look at it, it goes back to
science and our anatomy as males and females. A
programmer will position the toilet paper in a way
representative of the programmer's sec. Therefore, men
actively construct the roll with the paper falling over the top,
and women position the paper more unexpectedly, with the
paper falling down the back of the roll, out of sight.

What kind of cat says "MOW"?
I prefer having toilet paper hang in front, but my personality is closer to that of an "under" person according to that chart.
-
Same here.
Also those are bogus reasons to prefer it backwards. If an earthquake hits your house I don't think the toilet paper is what you'll worry about. If you have a pet that's a problem with it, shut the door. If you have a baby that's wandering around your bathroom unattended, get better at being a parent. It "looks tidier?" You're already on a toilet with your pants down, is that really much of a concern?
-
I recently purchased a toilet paper holder core, before hand my TP was free like a bird. But when it is on the roll and the window is open, the wind blows all the TP into a pile on the floor regardless of innie or outtie placement. I guess some TP just has to be free, and this bird you cannot change. Lord knows it cannot change.
(attached pic: my face when I saw the TP pile on the floor)
-
I read your post after listening to Free Bird on Pandora. Now I'll forever think of TP when I here that song. Thanks.

-
B or you don't deserve to use it at all.
-
I prefer it to be free
What are you, some kinda commie?
-
I prefer over. I don't know why. It just looks right. Which is an odd thing to say about an item that is used for personal wiping.
-
Front. But more often the thing that gets me angry is if the roll's to my left instead of my right. This is in contrast to the paper towel roll where I like the new rolls to go off to the left instead of the right. I'm just all mixed up when it comes to which hand I prefer for different things.
