The toilet paper poll!

There's the overhand setup, the underhand setup, and the sitting on its side on the back of the toilet or the nearby counter method. I hope I didn't miss any.

this sure is a funny poll.

that flap has to be on my side, if i find a roll the other way around, i change it.

i guess gary larson won't comply.

My mother always thought the paper should unroll from the back (assuming one isn't using the Montgomery Ward catalogue, or the like), the rationale being that, if facing that way, a quick tug will tear off the paper, rather than unraveling the roll.

When I was younger I used to get in trouble for changing the flap over to the near side. That means one of us had a real issue, but I'm not sure who it was.

I admit I am rather compulsive about toilet paper be an overhand experience. a.) It is easier to find the end sheet. b.) That is just the way it absolutely has to be. While I am at it, one should always squeeze the tooth paste from the.......

I'm generally a flap forward kinda guy, although we once had a cat who liked to play with the toilet paper roll. He must have thought it was a treadmill or something-- with the free end forward he'd unroll the whole thing onto the floor, so until he got over that little trick, we had to do it the other way.

I won a toilet brush in a raffle recently but I did not like it very much and went back to toilet rolls.

You forgot one category. I don't care as long as there is some.
