Toilet paper question

[silly_yak]

When you replace a roll, do attach it:

A) Auzzie style (paper coming from down under)

B) Over the top, baby!

Not sure where that's coming from but Over the Top!:D

[macdaid]

C'mon Mike,

It's comin' from a silly yak, therefore it's completely logical.

Over the top TP 4 me.
:D

To answer the question a few up, it comes from an ongoing "discussion" me and my wife have.

Okay, I need to learn not to eat or drink while reading the MORE board. This post made me laugh and spit liquid on my monitor!:eek:

Was this prompted by a "discussion" you just had at home recently?

Over the top.

As recent as the last time she changed the roll...actually, every time she changes the G*D D*MN ROLL!

She is such a saint for putting up with my OCD.

:D

Married 10 years and still an issue, I should have my tool confiscated and given to her instead.

10 years and you still have your tool??? I had to turn mine over on our wedding night 11 years ago.....:eek::eek::eek:

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :o

Over the top for me. And I like when my work puts me up in a nice hotel that does the little triangular fold at the end so there is something to grab hold. :)

[macdaid]

Ooooohhhh, mine too. And she keeps it in the freezer!
Brrrrrr!
:eek::D

A better question is.

When you wipe, do you scrunch or fold

[7rider]

OP never answered his own question.

For me...B.

[crack monkey]

Over the top.

My son and wife appear to install the rolls at random (two of the most OCD people I know, yet they aren't be consistent on this).. I always convert the poorly installed rolls to over the top.

[TrailVictim]

This is like discussing what pads to use with you V-Brakes. So yesterday.....

My biggest concern is if my butt wipes are running out or feeling a litte dry!

[g_barr]

B) Over the top, baby!

Forget about "training" the wife. The best way to eliminate the frustration and avoid a prolonged 'discussion' is to change the roll yourself. Forever. The only way she'll flip it over is if she gets as wound up as you are about which way the paper should unroll. :D

Here's a counter question - are you properly "trained" to put the seat down? Because it's likely you'll never win the roll battle until you learn the seat thing.

Umm...in a house with 3 women...yeah, I'm trained.

[CRAIG2]

Over the top - actually, nah, I don't really care. I just care that there's toilet paper on the roll.

Scrunched.

Oh, and I've learned that it's a good idea to keep an emergency roll in the car and the Cottonelle wipes. It's amazing how quickly you can make friends that way! heheh

I am totaly with you. I also have three women living in my house.

So, when asking about pads for my cantis should I chistle it into a stone tablet?

Agreed! :D

[cathie m]

Funny, this is one of the things my ex and I actually did agree on (and he did put the lid down).:)

[macdaid]

Goodness me! How did you let that one get away?:D

Actually, I do put it down. But my son? Nah. But he pays dearly, at the hands of my daughter, 2 yrs younger than he, who has been seen chewing the heads off kittens if awakened by a raised potty seat :eek:

Life gets interesting here....:)

Well, there was that minor issue of him not wanting to work.:rolleyes:

In my house, From the bottom for your bottom. Wifes rule, not mine.
married 21 years this Oct. If I need my "Tool" It either in her purse or the fridge. Whenever I successfully convince her " all the other guys are taking theirs, She usually lets me take mine too.

In todays enlightened society, Why should a man be Expected to want to Work? Why not stay home, manage the household, Raise the kids, network with likeminded free souls.

[luvdatrails]

Over the top, and I never have to switch a misloaded roll 'cause I'm the only one that puts a new roll on. Wife, kids, even in-laws when they visit 3 weeks at a time and have their own bathroom, ALWAYS leave the empty tube on the holder and the new roll sitting on top. Can't figure it out. I guess I'm the one that got trained. Yeah, and I'm the only one that takes the trash out too. At least laundry is 50/50!

Tool's mine. That'll be in the pre-nup. ;)

I'll need to work - the woman rides, and she'll want some bling wheelset soon enough, or perhaps that new Coach bag. Who knows. Of course, with the price of oil going up, and the dollar going down, next year's road trip could cost considerably more.... :rolleyes::D

[brian_brox]

I line the lables of my tires up with the valve stem. My bars and saddle have to be dead-on center. I can understand why people want their King headset to face perfectly forward, but seriously? TP roll direction? You people are nuts :rolleyes:

Actually I have no problem with that, if he's managing the household, raising the kids etc.:) We had no kids and I'd come home from work and have to mow the lawn, clean the house, keep track of all the finances etc. He just wanted to play. If I had been rich, I could have dealt with a "kept" man.;) But I didn't make enough to support us both.:( He was a fun person though, everyone liked him, I just couldn't afford him anymore so had to "give him the pink slip".:D

Isn't there supposedly less waste with over the top in that you don't pull off too much?

Gregg

As long as you're not using the tablet to wipe your rump you should be good!

[micky]

As long as it is not an empty roll I am happy.

A or B no big deal. No roll, no wipe....not good.

[tomn]

Over the top here, but the wife prefers down under. So it's whoever replaces the roll that gets to decide, usually 50/50. But I still have the tool most of the time, maybe because I do all the laundry (except the older kids do their own), washing pots/pans, plus taking out the trash, mowing the lawn, changing the oil + filters, washing cars, keeping air in the tires and fixing everything that needs to be fixed in a 20+ year old house! (The wonderful "honey-do" list.) The wife does all the grocery shopping and cooking. We split baby duty 50/50.

Sorry things didn't work out with the old man. But I mow the lawn, vacuum the whole house every 2 weeks, do all the finances and I still get a hard time for "wanting to play." (My wife can't understand why a grown man would want to spend free time playing Wii and PS2...) She has her Grey's Anatomy, American Idol and cooking shows (can't stand any of them), and I have video games and the occasional TV series (I'm mourning the end of The Wire).
