which way to roll

[poppa smurf]

argument in the smurf household this morning, Nanna smurf not happy, Poppa smurf placed the toilet roll on the holder the wrong way.

silly me, put the tab to the wall side and not to the "outside" as "she" would like it.

what is your preference, do you roll your loo paper outwards, away from the wall or downwards following the wall.

I need guidance fellow members as these life affirming decisions arise everyday and for a nonce like me they are land mines.

[Franco Cozzo]

Towards the wall for sure.

[Trump]

First question, what is Nanna Smurf doing outside the kitchen???

[FGII-XR6]

how ever it goes on

[jpblue1000]

away from the wall for me...easier to grab and more hygienic! if thats an issue...

[rog xc]

Away from the wall. Capital punishment in the rog house to place it any different.

[xisled]

Never actually worried about it before. It goes on whatever way it gets put on. I didn’t think it made any difference.

[Yellow_Festiva]

Away from the wall (if that means the bit that's left hanging is on the outside of the roll)...

Funny how these little things can matter.....

Anyone else get the agro when 2ply is cross threaded??... Funny how it's perfectly obvious to me after 1 second, yet the in laws and the Mrs can go through a whole roll and not get why the perforations are slowly getting more and more out of alignment...

Yep, gotta fold it back over and tare it off to get her all good again.

^ Talking about toilet paper.

[TheSneakiness]

Away from wall. Don't want **** streaks on the plaster.

[Papa Smurf]

I agree with away from the wall but I change the roll at my place.

You DO realise that Nana Smurf is NEVER going to forget?

[The FOMOCO]

Definitely away from the wall you don't want any extra cleaning do you

I'm wondering how some of you fella's wipe yourselves if you're getting crap on your walls.... (using your hands first & then the paper ???)
But in answer to the OP's question, the correct etiquette is to hang the paper away from the wall. That's the way it's done in all quality hotels etc.

When the argument turns on the direction of the roll, its time to get a bidet.

not at my age.....I get a crook back from leaning down that far to wash my hands then the bloody thing squirts me in the face, what good is that, worse sink I've ever come across!!!!!!!!

[Iggypoppin']

This has to be the biggest non issue ever, what's next the strategic placement of specific fridge magnets?? Still if this is the worst your missus complains about I think you've got things pretty sweet in the smurf household

[Ben73]

Away from the wall.

The missus claims she just puts it on which ever way it happens to be. But somehow it ends up the wrong way 90% of the time. Didn't expect it to be so one sided for something that should be about 50/50

[deesun]

One more for the away team.

[uniacidz]

+ Away

Just in case you get the special sheet and poke a finger through the paper and up the coight.

BTW, best thread, got a good chuckle going.

ah! yes the old "finger through the paper trick!".......

very sorry to say been there, done that.

happens more often when Mr's Smurf skimps on shopping days and buys 142 rolls in a plastic wrap which was "on special".

large digits such as mine require man thickness paper......4 ply minimum.....you know the one's that scares the loo as it gets a hernia trying to flush it all away.

Should have started a poll

Yeah, I tried that but it wouldn't attach.

[vztrt]

I'm just happy when the toilet paper is there. S**ts rough when you gotta do a run to find some if someone hasn't replaced it.

[poppa smurf]

Ta Dah!!! ........poll attached.......vote carefully, very important issues such as this must be thoughtfully explored before casting a vote.
