Important lifestyle question here.

How do you like your toilet paper to be dispensed? Do you like the flap over or under?

I like it under, it works better with my method of toilet paper folding.

Over - it's easier to get the next piece if the tp doesn't feed outwards properly.

if it's under then it touchs the wall, which is probably dirty.

You just have to have the properly distanced toilet paper holder. Mine almost never touch the wall.

That's exactly why I use over. I have one of those holders that kinda falls against the wall due to gravity. It's gross now that I think of it.

Wait, you guys have a problem with a (hopefully) relatively clean wall touching something you are going to wipe the shit off your ass with? :blink: You lot are strange.

I have my toilet paper rolls standing freely on my Bathroom Book-Stack. I use so much of it anyway.

I aspire to your classiness :thumbup1:

I sometimes just spin the toilet paper when its not in use so that dust doesn't gather on it. I do not want any foreign bacterii on my posterior or surrounding areas, things down there are constantly in a delicate balance as it is, and I'm not takin any chances with UTIs.

If it's over it's easier to rip off with one hand in a single fluid motion, which really is like a health and safety thing.

Jesus Christ, I'd never go in a public bathroom.

Why are they called restrooms? Do you guys rest in them?

I lol'd.

Over is clearly better because it's easier to use.

Yeah, I'm glad just to have toilet paper, period. Anyone else had to resort to the phone book at their low points in life? It's way better if you crumple it up into a ball and then uncrumple it... almost feels like actual toilet paper.

The one in public areas of my school are probably around 1/4 ply. I pay out of my ass for tuition and other fees, and I can't even wipe it properly on campus.:crying:

I used to steal toilet roll from my uni toilets all the time. I do pay extortionate rent, and it's convenient for when I feel too lazy to go to the shop.

Fuck toilet paper. I prefer a sponge on the end of a sharp stick.
