Over. No doubt about it. Will someone tell my wife that the people on answerbag agree with me? She likes the roll placed under. LOL
by Drublic on January 9th, 2007
Over, makes it easier to find the end of the roll. Any other way is just laziness.
by Anonymous on March 2nd, 2008
Sideways (to the right as you look at it). I don't have a holder, so I sit the roll up on end on the back of the sink.
by Gracin the Strange on March 21st, 2007
its got to be over, that way when you grab for it, the paper is hanging in the open instead of against the wall.
by donovan reynolds. on January 9th, 2007
Over.
Gravity tends to make the paper go all over the floor when it's the other way. And I'd rather not use floor paper for obvious reasons.

Over
by Anonymous on January 9th, 2007
OVER THE TOP. Martha Stewart agrees. (I think).
by Jenniferocious on January 9th, 2007
Over.
I hate when it's hung so it rolls "under". I have to change it if someone else does that.
by justme32 loves the weekends on January 9th, 2007
Over. I dont like reaching under the roll to grab the paper. Im the same way with paper towels.
by mike blair on January 9th, 2007
Over, definitely!
It's feels unnatural to pull the TP off the bottom.
by Anonymous on January 9th, 2007
Over, definetely.
Here is why. when our children were younger, i could have owned one half interest in scott bathroom tissue. used it like it was going out of style.
Wife and i decided to run a 30-day test to see if hanging the toilet paper under made any difference in useage, compared to hanging it over.
Folks, the tests are in. after fifteen days of over and fifteen days of under......the overs have it! for some reason, hanging the paper over is more conservative than under.
Maybe, gravity plays a part, if the paper is hung under, rather than over.
by Firebrand on January 9th, 2007
Over,
My sister always makes a diamond shape of the end paper, it makes you feel uncomfortable messing it up
by HappyJeans on January 9th, 2007
I really couldn't care less, I think it's very anally retentive (how appropriate) to worry about something so trivial.
by Katie on January 9th, 2007
Never thought about it until I got married. My husband wants it over the roll. So just for grins, I sometimes do it under. HA! It is the little things that keep us sane!
by six2dfax on January 9th, 2007
Bottom placers are either dyslexic or the roll is placed behind and underneath the throne.
by downdog on January 9th, 2007
Something strange about over. Just dosen't feel right. And when your in that position you want to feel right!!!!
by trouble ... on March 19th, 2009
In the civilised world it can only go over the top.
That's the absolute gospel according to St. trouble.
by Shopping Sheryl - home from the hospital on March 2nd, 2008
OVER!!!!
Just in case anyone actually cares:
Emily Post, Miss Manners, Martha Stewart and other etiquette mavens say that the paper must roll over toward you, away from the wall.
by Jade on March 2nd, 2008
Over the top, of course.
by Andy Ninja Is Wicked Back To Work on March 2nd, 2008
Over. There IS NO other way :)
by Shopping Sheryl - home from the hospital on March 2nd, 2008
Down! If it's facing up, it might touch the wall more easily.
In case anyone really cares: Emily Post, Miss Manners, Martha Stewart and other etiquette mavens say that "down" is the correct way.
by Srsly_Alex on March 2nd, 2008
I tend to just automatically put it down
by 19kid was born in89 on March 2nd, 2008
the torn paper should be facing down.
by Olero on March 2nd, 2008
I've always just put it in I've never really paid attention.
by R U Sirius on August 21st, 2007
I was going to say that I like it from behind.......but thats a dangerous answer. I will say that I like the ends folded like they do in the fancy hotels.
by Anonymous on March 21st, 2007
over for some dumb reason I pay attention to that.
by RFlagg on January 9th, 2007
Standing on it's end on top of the toilet tank.
The TP hanger-bar in my bathroom fell out about a year ago because of woodrot.
by Willi McC on July 8th, 2009
Under - if you have mischievous cats.
by melodee on July 8th, 2009
Over the spool!
by Celeste is contimplatingHerOwnExistence on July 8th, 2009
Neither,it's on the back of the toilet tank lid in our spot.*:)*+++++*
by anddeb on March 19th, 2009
Over, does not roll as fast and lose control.
by Hmmm...... on March 2nd, 2008
I always load the roller with the tp coming from the top. I'm actually quite anal about it. (Pardon the pun.) ;o)
by Zebulon on March 2nd, 2008
Over the top. Any other way should be punishable by death.
by Kw Hudd-Vets-superquack on March 2nd, 2008
For men, pedals out, easy to get ahold of. For women, pedals in, a neatness factor. There has been massive wars fought over this.
by Babycakes on September 7th, 2007
Over just like I do with the toilet paper.
by Worzel on August 21st, 2007
Top of the roll, with 2 young children I have found less ends up in a heap on the floor and has to be re-rolled.
by riseandconverge on March 23rd, 2007
I like to surprise myself.
by amanda_0517 on January 10th, 2007
Has to be over I'm very anal about that. One more thing my OCD has to offer. My fiance hates it because I get on to him if it is under so now he just doesn't replace it he waits until I'm peeing and need's toilet paper lol!
by cristnalyn on January 9th, 2007
I always swore it had to be over until my kitten learned the joy of unrolling it. Now I may just have to suffer with under:-(
by kyannie72 on January 9th, 2007
Definitely over for me. It's easier to find the torn off part or even feel it in the dark. In my bathroom we actually use a toilet paper holder and just place the roll on the lid. But, even at that, it has to be placed a certain way so when it's picked up, the sheet end is facing up and over.
by Shemarq feels like changing it up on July 8th, 2009
I'm just happy if its ON the spool.
by Bitto on March 19th, 2009

I'm an over person.
by Nancy on March 14th, 2009
Down from behind. I didn't realize there was a "correct" way of doing it, but my mother-in-law used to have a fit if I did it the other way so it was just easier doing it her way. Then it just became a habit after doing it for so long. I still don't think there is a "correct" way of doing it.
by jas on November 22nd, 2008
Usually under the bottom.. I have no idea why, habit I guess.
by xprofessor on November 21st, 2008
The free-hanging end of the roll should be closest to the user.
by christiankathryn on September 2nd, 2008
Over the top, I have figured out that less ends up unrolling on the floor
by purplecows on July 25th, 2008
Over, except when there's a cat in the house who likes to yank it down all over the floor.
by annonymous on July 21st, 2008
It has to be over for me. Everyone is different, but annoys me if the toilet paper is against the wall. I have to switch it the other way.
If they offered a variety of different colored toilet paper, would you buy it or stick with white?
