        In the days of old when knights were bold and toilet paper wasn’t invented, they’d wipe their ass with a piece of grass and walk away contented.

        Your hands or water or a sponge that is then cleaned in water. It’s actually really interesting, and I encourage you and everyone else to read up on it.

          or water

          Also known as a bidet, or washlet. It’s the only way to fly.

    A few years ago I chose to stop thinking about it. I just refill the roll and don’t worry about it. When I realized it didn’t matter, it was a weight lifted off my shoulders. Same with trying to stop the gas pump on the nearest dollar or setting the tv volume to an even number.

    I don’t know why I felt such a relief when I let go, but I did and now I’m free!

    My husband just leaves it on the floor below the dispenser, even in the bathroom that just has a flip up instead of a springy cylinder.

    Over, to prevent the spread of bacteria by touching the wall. Under is acceptable if you have a cat, who will fuck with the roll.

      The toilet paper drags against the wall either way though?

        Yes, but the paper is clean, your hands are dirty. If the paper hangs over, you can grab the paper directly. If the paper hangs under you may have to touch the wall to be able to get at the paper.

    Do you have kids or pets that like to play with the toilet paper roll?

    If yes, then Under.

    If no, then Over.

      Usenet had like a 10 month discussion about this after which it was considered definitively proven and agreed upon that this is the answer. Everyone ITT can rehash the discussion if they want but they are only rejecting science.

        Thank you.

        Rejecting science, no good.

        You have the science, good!
