Reader Poll: Over or Under

Ok. So Tuesday I was on campus, and I had obviously consumed copious amounts of fluids earlier in the day because I ended up needing to pee three times in the three hours I was there.

I always end up using the same bathroom while on campus, and it has four stalls. Two of them are fine, but the other two suck. One of them has a broken hook, so your have to set you bag on the floor. Total yuck. The other one has a hook, but the door barely locks, and it usually wiggles loose just about the time you start to pee. So you're stuck trying to juggle holding the door closed, not falling into the toilet, and unrolling the toilet paper.

So, Tuesday my three trips to the bathroom landed me in one of stalls that I hate each time. And to make matters worse, the toiled paper in the stall was going under and not over, WHICH I HATE!!!

So, tonight I was on Hillbilly Duhn's blog reading her toilet post (read at your own risk), and a fellow blogger posted about the over/under debate.

So, since the topic seems to be popping up all over the place this week, I'm asking for my readers' opinions: Which way do you prefer the toilet paper roll? Over or Under?

You already know my option, so now it's your turn. Come on all you lurkers out there, speak up. I know you have an opinion, I've never met anyone that didn't. This seems to be one of those universal issues that everyone has a stand on. So, let me hear yours!

Totally over. How dare you say I don't have an opinion?

Raoul Duke ~ You're just so laid back, and it seems like nothing bothers you. Good thing you say over, since we share the bathrooms!! :)

As long as there is tp there, I'm a happy girl, but Mr Big is a definite "over"

Sissy said...

Definitely over! I can't stand it when it's going under.

Over! I'll even switch some around, depending on where I am! :)

For some reason toilet paper over/under has changed in the last 50 years (yes I am over 50). When I was a kid it was always under then as hotels began making their nice little points on the toilet paper going over it seemed like there was a new trend. Now when I see under I always think that it's a little old fashioned. Over is the best!

mylifeinpurple ~ I'm happy if there is TP in public places, but at home it has to be over!

Sissy ~ Neither can I! Luckily TNB & I agree. It's hard living with someone that wants in the opposite way.

Jen ~ I will switch some around too, depending on where I am.

Mom ~ I guess everything changes with time, even toilet paper on the holder!
