I've got no housework for a week riding on this baby!

I have not yet switched careers into nursing, and currently I work in the engineering department for a major tp manufacturer. You'd think I could get the inside scoop on this stuff! :-)

I have never been able to decide which way I prefer the tp to hang, so I just put it on there whichever way it happens to be...

Hanging down the back, it seems to tear off easier, without unwinding the whole roll accidentally. But hanging down the front, the cute little patterns are visible and right-side-up. Decisions, decisions! Life can be so difficult!

And as far as whether to leave the seat up or down, I prefer the whole thing to be closed - seat & lid down. Mastiffs tend to get REALLY slimy when they drink, and you don't want to be the first one to have to go to the bathroom after one has had its head in the toilet - what a mess!!!

Facing front...with the little hotel "point" hehe my mom still does that after working at a hotel 20 yrs ago :chuckle I guess she want to remind us we're all just "guests" so we won't overstay!

Front also.

Definitely the front!!!

My rationale: print facing out, and also, if you have paint on your bathroom wall (vs. wall paper) then if it hangs to the back, it is too easy to scratch the paint off after too long of grabbing and searching for the toilet paper end. And also, this is the way hotels do it.

I have a cat that likes to unroll it, so down the back it goes--and keep it neatly rolled up so that no "tail" hangs there tempting her. Sheesh. That dam* cat is way too demanding. I might as well have a dog. If she doesn't settle down pretty soon, she's going to Heather's house!!

It's a good thing she's entertaining. :rolleyes:

Facing backward so less is used when I yank. Since I replace said paper it's done MY way---or no way:toliet tank or window sill the men in my life favor.

Our 2nd FL bathroom is at the top of the steps. My sons at age 7 and 4 verified the Scott paper roll commercial. Scott paper does last longer as new roll went down the steps across living room into kitchen before coming off the roll. Other roll never made it past middle of living room.

:D

My mom always taught me over the top, as you know mom's know everything.

You didn't have "thrown into the clothes hamper because it fell off the toilet lid onto the floor" as a choice either which is where ours is nine tenths of the time, in BOTH bathrooms.

If that is your only disagreement issue, I am jealous. I tried that marriage thing (lasted 15 years and gave up) and the co-habitation thing (lasted 2 years) and now I do what ever I want with the toilet paper, newspaper, money, dirty dishes, clean clothes etc. An no more inlaws to deal with either.

Sounds like my house - toilet paper and paper towels are never in the holders unless I put them there. Everyone else just sets them down wherever they are finished with them. I am so tired of washing my hands in the kitchen and having to search for the paper towels to dry them!:chuckle
