For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
On the toilet paper debate, as far as I can tell it largely has to do with whether people stand up or sit down to wipe. People who stand up want the paper unrolling on the front (because they can’t easily reach under the roll), while people who sit down and wipe can go either way.
For my petty hill, “Duck” brand tape is awful and should never be bought. It’s just slightly above generic dollar brand tape in quality, and should absolutely never be bought if you have any other options. Go with Scotch or anything else really.
For under it’s because they have cats. If it’s over cats can pull it down and unroll it entirely.
I’m going to blow your mind - bathroom doors can be closed 🤯
You want to close up the wet room where you shit? I guess you could leave the fan running 24/7.
Well, it’s better than letting the tiny particles of shit float through your home until the smell disperses
Better to trap them in the same humid area so they can form colonies along with the various fungi?
Exactly. Then when you clean your bathroom, you clean up all the shit particles along with whatever else is in there.
Not when the cat box is in the bathroom.
I sit down to wipe, I have a cat, and I have the toilet paper over. Neither the above comment nor yours explains my situation. Over is just easier to use, and subjectively more aesthetically pleasing.
I never considered the cat aspect. My grip on reality has been undone.
Having lost a few rolls, many years ago, to a Sheltie puppy with cat-like tendencies, I understand how annoying that would be to live with for the animal’s entire lifetime, and I’m willing to make an exception for cat owners. Otherwise it’s just making things harder for no good reason.
I’ve somehow lost rolls to cats rolling in either direction, so my TP roll is now often found in the cabinet above the toilet.
Or children. It stops them from using 1/2 a roll per visit
Do people wipe standing? But you’re already spread while sitting, why stand to spread?
Roughly 1 in 3 people stand while wiping.
Huh. I’ve never heard of standing to wipe. Why stand? Do you like crouch to spread your cheeks? And where are you getting 1 out of 3 from?
Not the best source, but there was a reddit survey with about 1000 people, and it was roughly 1:2 for standing vs wiping.
Interestingly enough there wasn’t much difference between men and women when it came to standing vs sitting.
People stand up to wipe? Doesn’t that just smoosh poop between you butt cheeks?
Ductape is the strong, grey stuff; and scotch tape is the white, papery stuff, yes?
Yes, but Duck and Scotch are both brands here. So you can buy Duck brand duct-tape or Scotch brand Duct-tape. They’re priced about the same but the Duck brand is much worse than Scotch.
I’m mostly complaining about their clear packaging tapes though, that’s where the Duck brand tape is truly awful.
Gaffer’s tape or Gorilla brand are the only ones I like
