IF you have animals, like cats or ferrets, then you MUST put it over the top.  Or else you risk having a papered house if you ferret gets particularly bored or in the mood to nest. :laugh: It’s mind boggling just how fast and far they can run with TP in their mouths and NOT have it tear.

This is serious. It’s over the top, reason being that the TP will thus hang down away from the wall on which the roll holder is mounted. You don’t wanna be hittin’ that wall everytime, and if everyone does it, you’ll have an increased chance of transfering an infection. Also, if using someone else’s…I leave it be, it’s not my place…

Dang right, this is serious!

First, let me just say I’m pretty anal about this subject. Over the top is absolutely correct. Believe it or not, I’ve actually changed it at someone else’s house before, but I don’t anymore because I’ve accepted the fact that most people will, in the end, learn from their own mistakes. (But I’ll be sure to correct it at your house if it’s not right when I use the bathroom. :giggle:!)

Secondly, early on in our marriage I asked George if he cared one way or the other which way the paper hangs..he said he didn’t, so I called dibs on hanging it over the top. And we’ve lived happily ever after since.

Truth is…I’m happy when there’s a roll there at all and the last person hasn’t left it empty…:goodjob:

Is there a household anywhere where this has not been an issue at some time – lol !  At least there haven’t been thousands of deaths in this war…

War???!!! Before you start gloating Mark…Let’s talk about an even more serious bathroom problem and that is falling into the toilet in the middle of the night!!! :nono:

As to the piddly (pun intented):rolleyes: toilet paper issue… I find it easier to just give it a spin since I dont always know which way it is going to go. That has become my habit of getting my squares by just spinning it. Pulling it away from the top just seems wrong from the angle of our toilet to the roll…I can see how it might work to some advantage in some situations but not all…I am an equal opportunity toilet paper hanger. So if you pull from the top so be it…but I am afraid from where I sit it just begs to be spun with the squares landing just right. It is a science! :giggle:

I still love you…:love: except when I fall in!

TP I put mine over the top

No matter where I go if it’s the other way I go and turn it over the top.

 I’m the same way with paper towels.  I even change the tp around in public places too that’s if they don’t have these things around them where you can not get them out cause the thing is locked.

seeming as how this subject seems so serious, it should be a part of an agreement signed before marriage. maybe if we offer this service in addition to our photography services, we can get more referals? so not only do we document their special day, but we also help them get rollin’ (pun intended) =P in terms of the whole falling in the tiolet issue, it’s just a matter of lookin’ before tinklin’…goes for both male and females…

he, he… i had a good morning laugh with this post! The wedding photo you posted above is stunning!!! Bood work.
And I vote for over – but like other comments, just glad its there.

Over the top. How else could we make that nice initial “v” fold like the hotels do?

@lydellphoto - 

well to be respectful to my favorite gender, I do put the seat down…I was just sayin’ =P

@ForHisGlory2 - 

You are so funny and sweet…Mark and I really arent battling. I think he just found something to post and thought it would be funny. We have really never ever even had a discussion about toilet paper. But definitely about the toilet seat!

Thanks for the great idea tho!!!

Love Kerri

@ShutterbugTim - 

Ya know I have never made that V. Never even thought of it!

@joyfulphotography - 

Thanks for the comment on the sneak peek photo!!! Glad you had a good laugh…its good to start the day out with a good laugh…or even a chuckle! Good to see you!

@robinone - 

Hi Robin! Hows it goin? Yes lid down!!! Toilet paper is such a non issue for me. haha

@slmret - 

Yes! A good war with no casualities! lol I really dont care which way the tp goes but I do resent falling in!

@kennyahn - 

Such a funny post. We havent had this many people comment in a long time. On toilet paper no less…hahaha

@jondacrafts - 

Funny, I have had so many cats in my lifetime and that only happened once and that was to a friend’s house. I always keep my bathroom door shut so my cat does not go in there. She would rather play with the bathmat anyway…lol

@mommyfish - 

Hahaha…pretty anal about this subject….hahahaha Good one!

@dimsom - 

:laugh: You will make a very good husband! :love:

@ForHisGlory2 - 

Okay I think we have the answer here lets put this thing to bed now! Great link Hazie!!

@lydellphoto - We had two ferrets when I was in middle/high school.  Both of them ‘nested’ which meant anything soft and fluffy was fair game.  And it didn’t matter who might be over visiting.  They’d come dashing through the living room TP streaming behind them, or a pair of undies that didn’t quite make it into the hamper clutched in their teeth.  Quite the conversation starter!

OVER THE TOP! Sorry Kerri! Love you though. If it makes you feel any better… Bob and I have this same issue. He’s the opposite of me. It ALWAYS drives me crazy! This is too funny! You guys crack me up! xoxoxxo ~ Dawn

Alright Kerri!  if you ever DO come visit me in WA… I better not find all my toidy room tp’s switched around… LOL  over the top in our house… even MY Mark agrees… ROFPIMT….

ShutterbugD…. <—bored in a motel room so she’s surfing back in people’s blogs… :wave:

we’re home!! Tater won’t leave my side… I have cat hair all over me… even in my contacts… he saw me come through the door and came running…. :heartbeat:  was so glad to see him… and son too! :p  of course…. LOL

rolling on floor peeing in my toilet….. snicker….wondered if you would get that… HA  instead of PIMP… since we were talking about TP!  :spinning:  so bored and had to amuse myself…. heehee
