Who else has flip-flopped on their preference on which way their toilet paper rolls?
All my life, I’ve been an over-the-top kind of guy. Most of this goes back to my parents; this was the way they put the roll on. For the first 20 years of my life, this is how I rolled – bad pun and all.
But then, change was a-comin’. There was a nationwide poll by one of the leading TP brands asking which way customers preferred their rolls. To my surprise, something like 80% preferred over-the-top – I was in the majority!
But that got me thinking, what compelled the other 20% to go under? I did some research and found that as you are sitting, the underneath method is supposedly easier to pull the roll without breakage than over-the-top. So I tried it, and I liked it. Immediately, I switched all the toilet paper I came across, whether it be in my house or any other house I was in. So to my friends and family, if you mysteriously found the TP switched over, I apologize.
I was on cloud nine until I was hit by a bad case of a certain four letter word – lazy. I didn’t want to have to do the extra work of switching over the roll roughly 80% of the time just to do my business. It just became too much work to do my business that I eventually stopped – not going, I can’t do that, but flipping the rolls – and went back to over-the-top.
I am the 80%.

I enjoyed this immensely…. and I’m going to start checking to make sure you don’t change my damn toilet paper roll….
No. I’m happy to report that that phase of my life is behind me.
The fact that as a man even put a tp roll on the holder makes me happy enough as a woman. I am the 80% as well
Oh the roll was already on. I’m not putting a fresh one on, I’m just flipping it over. Who do you think I am? Lol.
