To ask about loo roll...

[CarolinaPink]

Sonny sister and I have spent much time with elderly relative recently at her house as she's not well.

When I put loo roll on holder I have the 'loose' side facing me, so I can easily find the end and pull it down. Have discovered, though, that sister does it other way round, so loose bit abuts the wall.

Neither of us have discussed this but in a supremely passive-aggressive way we each keep changing it round.

AIBU to feel my sister is nuts because obviously it's easier if the loose bit faces you as you sit on loo, so it's not necessary to scrabble against wall to find the end?

when it’s put the wrong way and touches the dirty public toilet wall which in turn has lots of fingers that has touched it.
I don't disagree about which way round but your reasoning seems very odd - most bog roll rests against the wall anyway in my experience due to the design of bog roll holders.

nottheoneparrot You are channeling my aunt... 😳

Your sister is so so wrong!

I've never had a preference for which way round it goes and never paid any attention to how I put it on the holder. Think I must be some kind of heathen

Disown your sister immediately.

My boyfriend does it the wrong way, he now has his own toilet roll that I put on the floor next to the loo. His incorrect placement of the loo roll on the holder caused our first argument.

You're channeling too, MamaWeasel 🙄

I put the loose bit at the back. I’ll get my coat.

Bye, AlsoHuman :)

The inventor of perforated toilet roll patented it with diagrams - and they show over. Anything else is a perversion.

Ah, Hugo! Ninja'd me by 22 seconds :D

Of course your sister is right,

I'm with your sister and I've been known to change incorrect toilet rolls round the right way.

Your sister is right.

If you have a small child one way allows them to unravel the whole roll, bitter experience.

Of course the loo roll hangs down the front. How else would hotel chambermaids be able to make those tidy little points?

Small children can do that whichever way. So can dogs.

100% facing you!!

Yup faces me. But you use less if it faces the wall.

Loose but at the wall is no much tidier

I don't care as long as I'm not expected to change it on one of those old fashioned ones. They give me the rage.

If you get posh loo roll like andrex with the puppies embossed on, it only works if the loose side flaps forward.

You should buy this sticker OP

I was going to link but Spoonblender beat me to it! Patent said over!!
