ngl kinda hoping people start arguing over this

Cat owners and normal people

Tbf, the cat will wreak havoc with either roll.

Can confirm. Am cat owner.

Can also confirm. Am cat.

There's an easy solution to that.

Close. The. Door.

wow, first time I’ve encountered someone who doesn’t know what’s a cat is

No, the door of a residential bathroom has a specific purpose, besides the normal door-related ones. It's a vacant/occupied sign.

I just look under the crack of the door to see if the light is on.

Some folks prefer to keep the door shut, to keep from stinking the rest of the place up.

Do you not have an exhaust fan in the bathroom?

Yes, yes we actually do.

That also seems to be a vector for cockroaches to travel from the backside apartment towards ours...

The battle is real yo.

My bathroom is my foster room, so yes, the door is often closed, but definitely doesn't solve the TP problem.

People always say that. Like it was in every cat's nature to unroll the toilet paper when they see it. And it's the only argument they have. I have never seen a cat do this and I have a lot of friends with cats.

Consider yourself lucky. I still do it the normal way, but cats absolutely will unroll a toilet roll if it catches their attention.

It entirely depends on the cat. Some cats will, others couldn't care less.

My husband and I had a cat for nearly a decade and she never so much as looked at the TP roll. Our current gremlin has sprinted at top speed into the bathroom because he heard me open the cabinet where we started hiding the TP when he wouldn’t leave it alone. He actually tried to grab it out of my hands, and I had to play tug of war with him! I’ve never encountered any other cat as hellbent on destroying TP, but he lives for it. Shreds it like he’s plucking a bird.

The behavior in question is a viral meme just like the post. Some kitties/kiddies learn to entertain themselves unspooling the roll, some never do. In a household with the potential for some bored gremlin learning this behavior it can be safer to just not present the opportunity, even if the behavior hasn't been seen before.

I've had 2/5 cats I've had do it, so the roll always goes down the back. Kept my kid from unrolling it for about a week lol

George Carlin.

There are only two kinds of people in the world.

Those who think there are only two kinds of people in the world, and those who don't.

There is another...

This is what I do but only because there is no wall directly in reach on the left or right of my toilet, only a wall behind me, which makes reaching the toilet paper annoying as shit

Hang it from the ceiling directly in front of you

Nah, see, that's baby shit. You still have toilet paper in the end.

There are two types of people in this world:

  • Those who have a bidet.
  • And the bidet-less.

Wait. How are you guys drying your butts after the bidet? Are we not supposed to be using toilet paper? (asking for a friend)

The blower built into the bidet

The better question is what are you checking to make sure it's all clean with

My bidet is powerful enough that it gives you a mild enema if you get it just right. I don't need to check.

I have yet to use a bidet that can fully clean the chocolate concrete from my craggy asshole

Yes I eat too many fatty foods, no I will not be taking questions

Get some fiber thru ya! Beware of diverticulitis, mortar maker.

So does mine but I still check with at least one wipe every time, occasionally I need to hit it again

Idk, I can get behind (more like over) a bidet, but a butt blower seems unsanitary and stinky.

Some people let it dry naturally from rubbing the underwear. Though could probably be hard if you have hairy ass or in a cold climate.

And in the first group there's a special VIP area for those who have a Japanese-style bidet.

The ‘I can’t be bothered’…

Unfortunately this group is surprisingly large.

Right is the way the inventor intended it to be reloaded + it’s easier to access.

Left is the way parents and pet owners need to reload it + it’s harder to unroll by accident (or by purpose) good number of times.

Out of frame on the toilet basin/counter is the way people who don’t have a tp holder or don’t care to refill it put it.

The bidet is what we use personally, way better for the butt health and probably better for the environment lol

I mean...the inventor of Q-Tips also says not to stick them in your ears, which is just objectively, morally wrong.

That’s bad for your ears 😭 don’t do that aaaaa

Ppl living with cats,
and ppl living without cats.

We've never had this problem, somehow... I'm sure it can be a problem but I don't know how we avoided it

Yes, same, only some cats enjoy that sort of things, & even then they could understand it's causing problems (they might just stop bcs they see you unhappy about it).

Those that throw out the roll when they know they will run out early on the next use, and those that keep using it until the end and replace the roll to add more mid wipe.

Why not replace the roll with the not yet empty roll atop?

Animals will take it, kids will drop it on the floor and not tell you. Lots of reasons.

Simple fix; just don't have animals or children in the house. If you can't trust someone with that top roll, just artificially classify them into one of those groups and disallow them from your house.

All for the sake of saving a couple squares of TP every so often!

You are a person of great wisdom

Then set it on the tank. That's a lot of waste in a year {pun not intended).

My kids and animals already waste more than that. And the tank is just as accessible to the animals.

It’s also what, 6-10 squares each time? Lol that’s nothing.

Ah well, begging your pardon. I failed to see outside my limited perspective.

Than why not ask a question instead of ordering someone to do it different?

I can see how it came across like that. Unfortunately tone doesn't carry over text.

Cheers.

Kids will still drop it and why would the tank be better for animals?

And how much paper are you leaving on the rolls in this scenario? It’s less than 10 squares.

It would have never occurred to me that people out there aren't using every last bit.. so thanks.

P.S. Another possible solution to the kids/animals problem is a door, which bathrooms usually have

I always lock the bathrooms to make sure children can't use them

Keep a box of facial tissues in the bathroom as backup.

People that use levels and people that just drill holes

Is the right way clearly shown in the patent illustrations? Unless you own a cat, the left way is wrong IMHO.

Always use the smaller roll first. If you use the bigger roll, it'll become the smaller, and vice versa, until both run out at about the same time. If you always use the smaller roll, it'll run out first, with the big roll in reserve, giving you a chance to replace the empty one with no TP supply disruption.

Yeah, right and wrong left

People who clean their toilet paper holder, and this guy?

This was settled years ago. Going off the photo, either option is fine but people that prefer the option on the right will lose their shit if you suggest either option is fine

Such a pointless argument, just wipe your ass and move on with life.

Yeah this isn't reddit, who fucking cares

No! Why should I!?

Agreed! But do it standing of course.

no, wash it

Putting it on the dispenser is too much work. Just put it on top and spin a few squares off with your finger in the roll when you need it.

the third, are clean people who use water(bidet) so the dont leave poop on thier bum

3 types, last one uses bidet and forgo wiping ass with dead trees.

How do you dry your ass tho? Are you just soaking your underwear everytime you pull your pants up?

Butt towels, or wet wipes. Or some TP. Nothing if you’re a savage.

Pretty much

Swamp ass has nothing on lake ass!

Lol

When I gave a shit, I don't give a shit about the toilet paper

Lazy people: attach a thing to the wall to hold Toilet paper? Naah

start

I've got some news for you...

I could've sworn that there was research about over being the more higenic way. I argued with my brother over this. When I looked online the only research I found was about people who use the over way are more vocal about it

The left means you get a healthy dose of bathroom wall dust which is primarily made of pee.

Both poop.

wrong, bidetful and bidetless

You forgot about the civilised ones who use bidets.

1 high efficiency tp square, technical no bidet assisted speedrun

Who. Fucking. Cares.

My roller is on the wall behind the toilet, so left is easier to actually tear off with one hand, right takes two hands.

What about bidet?

Does yours have an air dry function? How are you drying after?

The one on the right is patent.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US465588A/en

Left is correct.

It allows you to tear away more easily without unrolling 20ft of paper.

Also, cats.

Asuuming you'll be able to unroll it. Unless you have cats, do right
