Post by: Mermaid on March 11, 2018, 11:23:54 AM
The prevailing philosophies of our new parties:

Always---ALWAYS--Over.  And the egg is always opened from the big end!

I always suspected you were a Lilliputian.  On the Internet, nobody can see that you are only one inch tall.

It's good to know that other people have some moral fortitude.

This is the problem with american politics.

There isn't usually just two answers to a problem.  But americans are usually only restricted to two options.

Let me put in one word for under: if you're a cat owner, 'under' is usually less tempting and/or less easy to get at for the Feline Overlord(s).

That said, I do neither since the roll holder in my bathroom is awkwardly placed, so I stand the roll on the shelf near the toilet (and completely out of the Feline Overlady's range).  No, I can't move it, I rent.

Under if the cats decide to unroll it for fun.  But mine don't.  Therefore an OVER FOREVER!

Your argument is an interesting one.

I am an over because you are not required to touch the wall to tear off your allotment of sheets. Over time, the wall behind the roll will get dirty. And also, it's unnatural to reach all the way past the roll to get to the back of it. If you need to find the edge, you can roll it over and over and the free end will not become obvious as easily as it would if the roll were placed in the over orientation. Therefore, I find the under orientation to be immoral and a sin against God.

I have an oddly designed upstairs bath room with no convenient place to put the TP holder unless you are a contortionist or a gorilla with 10' long arms.  So I just set the roll on the vanity next to the toilet.  For years I promised myself I would buy a toilet paper dispenser and hang it somewhere like you are supposed to.  But then I would be faced with the problem day after day.  When I needed a wad of TP, I would have to stand up and shuffle delicately across the room.  That's disgusting.

Now I'm not completely anti TP holder.  In some situations, they make sense, especially when the toilet is located near an obvious place to install it.  But half the time the holder is just a matter of tradition.  It's just a chrome plated bobble about as useful as a nose ring.

In fact, I've considered removing the holder downstairs because the only available place to hang it is on a wall that is right over the heat duct in the floor.  You can imagine how the draft unravels the TP when you're not in the room?  It's worse than a cat.  I keep a magazine handy to lay over the duct.  This gives the room kind of a careless casual look so guests will think I'm an avid reader, but it's really to keep the toilet paper from unraveling.

We have a very small bathroom in which a wall tp hanger just does not fit.  So we go an iron holder that sits on the sink counter and can hold three rolls--works well since it is movable.

I would rather be right, than with the majority or even a plurality.  The common man is always wrong, because common sense is an oxymoron.

There are standalone TP holders.  https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Standing-Toilet-Paper-Reserve/dp/B073Q66Y7J/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521135512&sr=8-1&keywords=standalone+toilet+paper+holders
