Poll: Toilet Paper: Which direction?

[Veldel]

I choose neather as I keep mine off those things and lay it on the counter or window.

So where's my other option as both A and B are wrong. I tossed out the thing that holds the rolls long ago so in my home you deal with it.

Do you happen to have a larger version of that image? It would be very helpful for my arachnophobia research.

Also option 'B'.

Just searched for "spider on toilet paper roll" and this came up:

Spoiler

Imagine 20 years ago we couldn't even google for weird pictures of spiders on bog rolls.

On topic: B, A is for masochists and people with cats (which in all honesty is the same thing).

 

[Roxas1359]

Is the cat issue really that common? I have had 4 cats and none of them unrolled the toilet paper.

You have very odd cats then.
Out of the 3 cats I have right now, 2 of them love unrolling the toilet paper. Hell, my 17 year-old Siamese used to bite a hole through the rolls, but not as much anymore since she's so old.

OT: Obviously option B. I'm no savage.

 

[MHR]

B

Anything else is just wrong.

 

[Risingblade]

I go back and forth to keep things exciting.

 

[Parasitic_Chick]

Like most other people "B". I don't know why though. It just looks right.

 

[StormShaun]

B.

It's probably because I like to keep things organized.
I don't know why it looks organized, but it just feels right in my eyes.

 

[DeaDRabbiT]

A. Requires less torque, doesn't break off mid pull. This goes double for that shitty one-ply public restroom tissue.

B. Is for folks that don't know how to toilet paper.

Another vote for "Mine just stands an a little cupboard next to the loo"

Oh, and definitely #firstworldproblems

 

[jklinders]

As a cat owner the answer is A. The first time you walk in to the bathroom to find an entire roll unwound and on the floor with your cat looking up at you as if to say "whaaaaat?" you will understand why.

Alas no, I just pulled it off the interwebs

 

[happyninja42]

A is almost mandatory for anyone with a cat.

Pretty much this. I set it up as A, even before I got a cat, mostly because I get annoyed if momentum makes the roll trail down to the floor after someone has torn it. So yeah, A.

Are you implying that momentum somehow wouldn't keep it unspooling if you hung it backwards? I suppose that, mount permitting, you could press it against the wall to stop movement, but if your hand's already on the roll, you could just manually stop the rotation.

And what's with all of these people who apparently can't rip toilet paper? You do know it's not supposed to be made of metal, right?

I was mostly referring to other people using the roll before I use it, like in public restrooms. I've seen it many times, where they tore with such force, that it makes a long distance of paper trail down to the floor, and thus touching the nasty public floor. At home it's not really much of an issue, as me and my wife are both capable of controlled paper tearing. xD

I suppose it is possible for the roll to keep unwinding if in the A position, but I've never seen it happen personally, so I can't really comment on it.

 

[Rattja]

C, The floor.

I feel this debate is flawed by leaving out all the other options. At work we have a dispenser that is mounted with the side of the roll facing towards the wall. It actually makes more sense to me that one, as it is more natural to pull towards you than sideways out from the wall so I'll go for that one, whatever option that is.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

B obviously because 9 times out of ten, Option A is going to be farther away from you and most times will end up touching the wall or the floor because it won't rip properly also I don't know if anyone noticed this but even the picture is on the B side.

 

[GundamSentinel]

A. I have a cramped toilet, B would just be in the way. For the rest it mostly depends on the location of the toilet paper. Left or right, high or low. That shit matters!

 

[Signa]

A, because people are very adamant about B for some reason. Really, I just put it on the way it falls in my hands when I'm loading the roll, which happens to be A far more often, as if I'm actually making that choice.

I figure B is far more atheistically pleasing, and I consider it the "right" way to put it on because of it. However, I figure that A allows for a 90 degree angle of pull to put the most tension of the back of the roll, which should lead to easier tearing. Toilet paper isn't hard to tear, and aesthetics don't matter much, so it's not really a debate for me.

 

[CrystalViolet]

I accidentally clicked (A). I want to change my vote

 

[Chemical Alia]

A for sure. B looks unkempt and upsets me greatly.
