Not really sure where to post this but here goes.

It will seem really petty but has become quite an issue. Basically it's about which way round to hang the loo roll. I say it should have the end coming up and over the top but (D)H maintains it should hang down the back.

Which is the right way (if any)?

Depends, is the loo roll on the right or the left of the toilet?

ethelina · 10/11/2010 16:52

You are - always over the top and if i'm in someone elses house and its the other way round I take it off and rehang it. Grin

You are right. :)

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 10/11/2010 16:53

Hang over the top.

Ealingkate · 10/11/2010 16:53

I'm with ethelina - I'm so glad someone else does this!!

ethelina · 10/11/2010 16:56

'depends on the colour...' Its always white, surely?

HMTheQueen · 10/11/2010 16:56

Another with Ethelina... slightly Blush

RitaLynn · 10/11/2010 16:59

Are you both left handed or right handed?

potplant · 10/11/2010 17:01

Over the top.

Sarsaparilllla · 10/11/2010 17:01

Over the top, most definitely

escorchio · 10/11/2010 17:02

With you and Ethelina.... very Blush.

Kiwinyc · 10/11/2010 17:04

Always over the top. Always!

RandyRussian · 10/11/2010 17:07

What happened to these people to make them think that hanging down the back is acceptable?

Over the top is the only sensible and normal way!

yama · 10/11/2010 17:11

Over the top. My dh thinks the same as yours but wouldn't change it as he doesn't care as much as I do.

JiggeryPoverty · 10/11/2010 17:17

Hanging down the back?!

Divorce the bastard!

Fizzylemonade · 10/11/2010 17:18

Another vote for over the top.

My advice? Either remove the toilet roll holder altogether or have 2 Grin that way you get yours the correct way of over the top, and your (clearly in the wrong DH) gets his the wrong way but his way.

I actually saw this on an episode of Dr Phil and he said there are bigger things to worry about and gave them a double toilet roll holder.

Tolalola · 10/11/2010 17:19

Oh, it HAS to come over the top. The other way is terribly, terribly WRONG.

sexy2shoes · 10/11/2010 17:56

Over the top

KatieScarlett2833 · 10/11/2010 18:08

OP, My DH and you would get along as he is the only person I know who really, really cares about loo roll etiquette. You are all quite mad IMO Grin

Wordweaver · 10/11/2010 18:14

There have been studies devoted to this!

And my vote is for over the top too. Smile

TrillianAstra · 10/11/2010 18:18

The hangy bit should be away from the wall.

atswimtwolengths · 10/11/2010 18:26

Over the top, definitely! And I change it in other people's houses, too! Blush
