This excited me far more than it should have. It bugs me when people put the toilet paper roll on in the "under" fashion. Now I feel like I've got some backup for my argument.
This is totally incorrect if you have a cat. Over makes it much easier for the cat to pull the paper, whereas under, it is almost impossible.
This post more or less fixed my Mondaymorningslighthangover mood. Thanks.
It's also not correct if you have a toddler. Over makes it much more likely you'll find the toilet paper spread across the living room.
I'm with Joel, I literally get cramp in my shoulders when people put a toilet roll on the wrong way :D
And that's all the needs to be said about that.
You took the words right out of my mouth Barbwire.
Cat owners must install the toilet paper the "wrong" way.
But, of course, that doesn't help the claw marks in the roll.
I agree with Debbie. We have a house full of toddlers, and we put in our rolls the "bad" way apparently to reduce wasted paper. Toddlers love to unroll them!
Oprah says that you only do the "over" if your TP has a nice design on it. Otherwise, under is the way to go.
I'm with Debbie and Chad - with toddlers in the house, under is the only way to go!
Never had a cat the went after the toilet paper...

Exactly why no toddlers or cats are allowed in my house. Schnauzers, on the other hand, will string it out no matter how it's hung.
I'm with Joel. I would love to copy this article into my monthly department newsletter at work.
