With the holidays upon us, visitors are bound to drop by. I try to do whatever I can to make my company feel as much "at home" as possible as I'm sure that you also do. Being that the case, many of you might have the same question as I.

Should the toilet paper spool off from the top or the bottom of the roll?

You've got to wonder about those people who purposely spool it off the bottom. I don't trust em.

 But what's worse are those who leave you  2or 3 sheets left on the roll and you don't have a clue where the new rolls are, or you're in no position to go looking for it! 

davey,

You really do ponder life's persistent questions, don't you?

I have solved this problem for once and for all, for all the people of the world. (well, those who have TP anyway)

When I go to the toilet paper store, I buy a roll and bring it home (fairly normal process up to now,eh?) But then I get tricky... I sit cross legged on the living room floor with my doggie at my side, unwrap the roll of double ply heaven, and pull the sheets off the roll, one at a time. This makes a neat stack which I place next to the commode on the counter top. You see, this solves the controversy for everyone. Of course, there are those parsimonious pains in the posterior who will now want to know if they should only take the top sheet, or if it's OK to deal off the bottom of the deck.

Some people cannot make peace with their inner selves. Merry Christmass to all, and to all a good satisfying....................................

You'd think you-know-who would take a lower profile, being on a party platter and all, during the holidays.

 And, I too would like to wish one and all the Merriest of Christmas's ....poolboy.

Me... I would be next!

You gentlemen actually know and care about toilet paper?  I always thought that as long as there was some within easy reach you guy's couldn't care less! The men in my house think that the roll automatically refills itself,because no matter how many times they leave it empty, it is automatically full the next time they enter the throne room. They also cannot fathom why the women in this house get a tad cranky whenever the seat is left UP.

So to answer your original question the roll should roll down with the paper on top, so that when I fold the corner over it makes a nice triangular pattern, and yes I am just a wee bit obsessive compulsive. I'm a real charmer to live with, just ask the poor males in my house!

Cheers...Rita

Well Dear Rita, I'm surprised to hear that you are the paper guru! In my dwelling, every one knows that the answer to the question, "How many women does it take to change a roll of toilet paper?" ....No one really knows, it's never happened! How do some guys get away with this behavior?

As far as the seat goes, who ever said that DOWN was the correct storage position anyway? It seems to me that if DOWN is a specific requirement for some, it should be incumbent upon those people to ensure it's proper placement prior to use. For instance, I always check the oil in my engines before I run them. I don't expect my lady to keep them topped up just to cover the likely event of me deciding to power-wash the house at any given time, or go split some firewood, or mow the lawn. ....Just an observation for what it's worth. 

I guess that it's all just a matter of perspective. At any rate, I surly agree with what appears to be the consensus here, the paper should spool down from the top, (and I love your triangle idea...may I use that?)!

Dear davey just ask any poor female who in their great rush to use the "ladies"(usually due to the males inability to stop at the "next gas station") has met with a shockingly cold realization that the seat was indeed UP! A truly breathtaking and abominable occurance I can assure you!

As for my penchant for folded toilet paper...Remember me at every fold!

Cheers...Rita

Well,

I let Linda read this thread. I mentioned that I was just about to ring in with a treatise on the seat up or seat down debate. I was informed that if I did, I could expect to be clobbered in the middle of the night WITH a seat!

She has a point. Imagine how sad we must appear to be discussing a subject like this on Christmas Eve...

I make no apology. I think what I think when I think it, wherever I happen to be thinking, assumiing I'm actually thinking.......?....

OH YA!!!! It's CHRISTMAS!!!

No wonder why I had to vacuum, do the dishes and clean the bathrooms (complete with triangles)!

Cheers to all...gotta go!

Rita, what goes well with me?

So long forever..."To sleep, perhaps to dream..."

Don't knock it till you've tried it!

LOTS OF BUBBLEY TO WASH IT DOWN!!!

Dear Chopped Liver;

Perhaps I have been unkind, it is after all the holiday season and I should show more compassion at this festive time of year. Had you called yourself Liver Pate I would have been more gracious( I am a bit of a snob ) and my dear no one of any breeding would openly admit to being from( gasp )Lower Thorax! But having said this I will admit to a small amount of affection for your mad ramblings, and they will be sorely missed.So with that... BON APPETIT mon ami and adieu!

Cheers...Rita

People-

 

This used to be a decent British car  advice website but now it has degraded into a juvenile blather klatch. I find my time better spent elsewhere.

 

Sad.
