wanting the loo roll hung my way?

[kinki]

Serious debate needed.

My dh and ds want to hang the loo roll back to front, after years of happily having it the 'proper way'. They are putting up a strong case and I'm feeling out-numbered.

We have always had it so the paper drapes down the front of the roll. Now they want it to fall down at the back (wallside).

Now call me unreasonable, but being the only laydee of the hise, I think I should have the final say of how it should be, since I dispense from it at every visit. Plus I think it looks more aesthetically pleasing, and is easier to reach. Not forgetting the fact I'm the one who usually changes it, and buys it in the first place.

So, how does everyone else hang their loo paper. And am I really being so unreasonable wanting the loo roll hung my way? (I know life's too short, but humour me anyway.)

PMSL at this thread. Thought it was only me that had to hang the paper from the front. Didn't realise others had such a thing about it.

I like to think they point their little winkles downwards and into the pan. And with the seat up. The seat is my preserve. Being, as I said before, the only laydee of the hise. (Naturally I do allow them to use the seat for poopoos though. But I expect them not to shake, and to use paper afterwards.)

SP, actually, the correct thing to do is to sit on the loo and be halfway through your necessities before you spot the empty roll. Naturally, no spare is in the room and you have to holler down the stairs for dh to bring one up. But he sends one of the kids with it. They, instead of discretely popping it round, fling the door wide open and stare at you, holding the roll just out of reach so you have to get up a little to grab it.

They probably have the lad from next door with them too.

I am a "hanging over the front" girl, with tendancies towards changing other people's loo rolls if I get the chance, unless in a hurry. I sometimes notice our home roll the wrong way round, and am not sure if DH has popped it round on purpose, but will keep a look out now. I think I change it instinctively, a bit like I put back DH's ham back in the fridge after he's left it out, etc...hmmm

Well I make that 11 to the front and 6 to the back.

I will have to retrain dh and in particular the main culprit ds. What's more, seeing as how many of you change other people's loo rolls, I shall train said ds into changing the loo roll in his best mate's house, thus quashing that part of his arguement for wanting it what has now been determined 'the wrong way round'. So that his best mate's loo roll will be just like mine - the right way hanging to the front.

My mum has an absolute obcession with this so every time I go to her house I change i to the way she doesn't like and I even blame my dad for it sometimes.

I never knew there were so many loo roll changers about. I'm just thinking, all the time I've been blaming ds and dh, you don't suppose it's been visitors to the house changing it do you? I wonder if there's a name for this complusion?

can't believe the way you hang your loo roll is a class issue....

I couldn't think how I do mine, had to go and check

compulsion

My DH never changes the empty roll the same as he walks passed the bin in the kitchen without emptying his leftovers into it and then leaves his plate near the dishwasher. Men can't live with them, can't shoot them.

Forgot to say I'm a roll changer. And 11yo dd2 has just confessed that she changes people's rolls, as well, lol!

Kinki, dh was flabbergasted when he took ds1 to the loo one day because he asked for toilet paper at the urinal. I had taught ds1 to dab himself when he finished, just as we do. Shortly afterwards, ds1 informed me that men shake themselves, so they don't need to use paper. "Daddy taught me" - at last!

Honestly! Why should a woman be expected to know these things?

do you know, i've NEVER considered this

ho hum.

am pmsl at changing how others hang it

i don't think i'd notice if anyone DID though

we usually just put it on top of the toilet really. Easier that way.

dp just come and leaned over shoulder and read some posts

'i like it hanging at the front/baack etc and thought you were all talking willys!

the back, the back, the back...

the front is just wrong....

i change it over at work

and i get in a blind panic if i see the lid left open..i dont mean the seat bit that the boys flip up, i mean the whole lid.

No no nooooooo, it must be done your way. I don't know why but it must. I have been known to change the loo roll at my friends' houses because they have done it wrong.

It's like wearing a tshirt back to front. It's just not right.

I never bothered which way the paper hung but my ds (who is a sensitive type and now 9 years old) can't stand it if the paper isn't at the front so he changes it accordingly if it's wrong!

I am very happy to report that neither dh or that pesky little ds have changed the loo roll all day. I think they have finally got the message. But after all your posts, I am seriously wondering if some visitors have been changing my loo roll, it would explain a lot.

Woopsa, would you mind kindly asking your dh to explain a back hanging willy. I've seen plenty of willies hanging at the front, but never any at the back. Have I missed out on something all these years?
