According to the patent (US465588A) it should be over.
If it’s under spiders can make a nest between the toilet paper and the wall so you’re wiping your ass or coochie with that.
Well great. New fear unlocked.
I mean, you were given eyes for a reason. Also, how often do you go to the bathroom that warrants enough time for a spider to build a web??
Do you not take vacations and work from home in your one bathroom place?
Uh, huh? I take some trips here and there, don’t work from home, but I’ve never had spiders make up a web between the tp and wall, and I live in the mountains where those dudes are everywhere.
If their web can catch a fly, it can catch my shit. Extra strength TP!
This is the way.
What did they do before 1891?
In the days of old when knights were bold and toilet paper wasn’t invented, they’d wipe their ass with a piece of grass and walk away contented.
Your hands or water or a sponge that is then cleaned in water. It’s actually really interesting, and I encourage you and everyone else to read up on it.
or water
Also known as a bidet, or washlet. It’s the only way to fly.
I have a cheap bidet and I can confirm it is the way to go. I wish I could afford one of the good ones that warms the water and shoots out hot/cool air to dry you afterwards, but the cheap one is still leagues above tp or wipes.
Wipe their ass with newspaper?
They had it roll the other way
Discarded corn cobs and pages from the Sears Roebuck catalog. At least in midwestern USA.
Over unless you got a cat or little kids
Or unless you have a weird roll holder that is super prone to overfeeding.
Beard, not mullet.
Over, to prevent the spread of bacteria by touching the wall. Under is acceptable if you have a cat, who will fuck with the roll.
The toilet paper drags against the wall either way though?
Yes, but the paper is clean, your hands are dirty. If the paper hangs over, you can grab the paper directly. If the paper hangs under you may have to touch the wall to be able to get at the paper.
Ahh I see, that makes more sense :)
Be chaotic like me and just put it on whichever way it’s facing when you put the new roll on.
mashed into a thick paste and applied liberally to the anus
Ah, I think I’m going to need a few visual aids for that plan…
Wow, I bet that would stick to the roof really well (with enough force)
Do you have kids or pets that like to play with the toilet paper roll?
If yes, then Under.
If no, then Over.
A few years ago I chose to stop thinking about it. I just refill the roll and don’t worry about it. When I realized it didn’t matter, it was a weight lifted off my shoulders. Same with trying to stop the gas pump on the nearest dollar or setting the tv volume to an even number.
I don’t know why I felt such a relief when I let go, but I did and now I’m free!
My toilet paper is sideways.
I have a ledge above my toilet or a commode next to the toilet. Who needs this weird holder in the first place?
Over, unless you have cats
Over has always been more effective, also to take it with one hand
My husband just leaves it on the floor below the dispenser, even in the bathroom that just has a flip up instead of a springy cylinder.
Is your husband my girlfriend?
Perhaps. Does your girlfriend have a shoe/boot addiction?
Over is best for high rate on a household single roll holder, but if you ever load a bathroom stall toilet roll magazine its gotta be under or the next round wont cycle into chamber
I grew up with cats, so my default is under.
