Paper fed over the top? Paper fed from the bottom? Or no holder at all?

Fed from over the top.

Bottom. Tears nicer.

Top. It's the only true way. -_-

Oops, lied in the poll. I actually don't have a TP holder at home. But if I had, the paper would definitely be fed over the top.

Over the top. Easier to get to.

On the wall.

I hang you with my toilet paper.

We don't *have* toilet paper. :eek: But then again, we prefer to use soap and water to clean ourselves up after. ;)

Doesn't it go overhand in the northern hemisphere and underhand in the southern?

Agent 2: Children, where are your parents?
Lisa: I don't know. They should be here.
Goodman: Yes, they _should_ be here. Tsk, tsk. Those parents better have a good excuse.
Homer: [walks in] Ah, I love getting away from this dump.
Marge: It's like I'm on some wonderful drug.
Goodman: Ahem --
Marge: What's going on here?
Goodman: Child welfare, ma'am.
Agent 2: Here's a little bedtime reading. [hands Marge a paper]
Marge: Mmm! "Squalid hellhole"? "Toilet paper hung in improper overhand fashion"? "Dogs mating on dining room table"?

over the top. i really don't like it if the hanging paper touches the wall, so going over the top gives it a bit of distance from the wall. i have no idea why it matters to me :confused:

Fools: the lot of you. The wall area behind the toilet paper is clean. I clean it regularly.

so, to be indelicate...

do you provide towels for guests to dry themselves afterwards? is there a culturally standard way of knowing which "crotch towel" is unused and intended for guests when you visit someone else's home? do you have unused guests soaps for this purpose?

or do y'all just drip dry?

ah, well, i don't trust places like motorway services to have clean walls there.

and i should come clean (ho ho): we don't hang the toilet paper at home, it sits on top of the loo. the shame :$

It doesn't make any difference. Over, under and sometimes not attached to the holder.

I'm wondering just how clean any part of the bathroom at a rest stop really is. Seems like the section of wall behind the toilet paper holder would be the least of your worries.

you have a point there, but for some reason that bit winds me up more than the rest of it. unless, of course, its all really gross, like there's shit on the floor or something >.>

Over the top, for easier access.

The way is faces depends on if I'm replacing the roll while half-asleep in the bathroom having got up for my midnight rendez-vous with the toilet or if it's just a standard day-time change.

Whats toilet paper?

Guests bring their own toilet paper. Or sometimes we do have (if we feel like buying them) rolls of tissue paper, though that's better used for things other than wiping the crotch. [Though, since even the more Westernized ones use toilet paper in their routines, most of them know how to improvise when they don't have toilet paper.] :D

I'll admit that in my OCness, I *do* have a separate crotch soap, I don't know about the others... ...but AFAIK most don't. :eek: But hey, soaps are supposed to be for cleaning and killin' germs, right? What's the soap good if it can't clean/kill the crotch germs on the soap? :wink:

the stuff between your hand and your arse*


*may also apply to underwear and an itchy bottom

That's why I use liquid soap for the bidet.

Mostly I find TP rolls on the floor in those. That is If they have any at all. A good question here would be would people use the TP rolls found on the floor in a service station?

Ah, the best topics never get old, do they? :p
