to want the toilet roll to have the end away from the wall

DW always puts the toilet roll with the loose end towards the wall and it drives me mad
When I have had a jobby I just want to grab the end that should be hanging down within easy reach and wipe my botty instead of trying to find the end which is more often than not against the wall
Life is to short to be fiddling with toilet paper

No. It's wrong the other way round!

63BabyWipes · 19/02/2011 19:50

Life is too short for even noticing which way the roll is facing eh?.. Grin

BeenBeta · 19/02/2011 19:52

So is this what you do when you get up?

No wonder your wife doesn't want to make the bed!

YANBU

With you all the way...

I like it facing out but I remember my flatmate at uni always having it facing the wall because it was more economical!

OliveMalay · 19/02/2011 19:53

YANBU. It's impossible to find the end if it's hiding next to the wall!

Scrumpet · 19/02/2011 19:53

I try not to worry my pretty little head about which way round the loo roll goes.

Andwellwasi · 19/02/2011 19:55

You're not a man pretending to be a woman are you?

I've never heard a man say this before. Or even notice.

mrsgetonwithit · 19/02/2011 19:58

I like the end away from the wall and do you ever spin it around at 100 miles an hour to actually find the end?Smile

NO I am a man
The main reson for this is when I go for a tinkle in the night I dont put the lights on and I sit down in the dark to do my wee wee
If the end is hanging down I can get it in the dark with my eyes still closed to wipe the last little drop off the end of my willy

You ought to count yourself lucky that you have toilet paper at all OP!!

If you are a man, why do you sound like a small child?

Probably because I have spent the last 5 years looking after my Children and being around other kids at coffee mornings/toddlers groups etc

Barty, like the name by the way. I'm with you drives me mad but i do realise it's not worth going mad over. Although that attitude might change at 3 in the morning.

reelingintheyears · 19/02/2011 20:17

AAWWWWWWWWWW.

Good on yer.

tinkertitonk · 19/02/2011 21:19

Thank god, it's threads like this that justify the invention of the internet.

NeopreneMermaid · 19/02/2011 21:40

I get a bit OCD over this. I ALWAYS change it to go over the front if I find it against the wall in public loos, friends' houses, etc. I even challenge myself not to but I have to.

MosEisley · 19/02/2011 21:52

Ah a really important thread at last. YANBU about the loo roll.

But please, you wipe your willy?! I have never known a man to do that.

MosEisley · 19/02/2011 21:53

actually, don't even answer that. I don't want to know.

YABU, The loose ends should be towards the wall,

FabbyChic · 19/02/2011 22:33

the lose end should be facing away from the wall, and folded into a triangle!

MooMooFarm · 19/02/2011 22:37

Are you really, really bored?

surfandturf · 19/02/2011 22:40

YANBU - I change it if it's the 'wrong' way round too!

BreconBeBuggered · 19/02/2011 22:56

Have never, ever heard a man talk about going for a tinkle before.
