caedmyn Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I wouldn't change it in someone else's house. That is weird. I change it in my house though if DH or one of the kids put it on wrong! As someone else posted, I would straighten crooked pictures in someone else's house though...at least if I thought they wouldn't care and they weren't watching!

Julie in CA Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The way it's "supposed to be" in my house is the way I like it! (I am deliberately refraining from indicating the direction I like my toilet paper to unroll :tongue_smilie:) See, but there *is* a right way, you're probably just too young to know it! Back in the "olden days" they used to sell tp with little pastel-colored flowers printed on it. If you faced the roll with the hanging part away from the wall/cabinet, you could see the flowers (OBVIOUSLY the right way, lol!). If you faced the hanging part closest to the wall/cabinet, then you couldn't see the flowers. Also, if the tissue is closer to the wall, then your wall gets dirtier faster, from people inadvertently brushing their hand/fingers on the wall, AND, if you happen to have one of those old-fashioned slightly recessed tp holders, if you put the tissue hanging closer to the wall, sometimes you can't reach it at all! :001_huh: There's a method to my madness. :tongue_smilie: (I hope you can read my sense of humor here, because obviously in your house, I think you should hang it however you want to!)

JessReplanted Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 No. But, I also wouldn't notice if someone switched it. I am pretty oblivious about it, lol. :iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 No. But, I also wouldn't notice if someone switched it. I am pretty oblivious about it, lol. :iagree:I wouldn't notice if ours is switched. I certainly wouldn't switch someone else's That is just weird.

Kirch Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 My grandma and grandpa could never agree on which way to hang a roll of toilet paper so grandpa installed a second hanger that way they each could have their own. That's hilarious! OP, it makes me wonder if your guests are conspiring to tease you. Are you at all known for being picky about things like that? Or maybe they're trying to subtly convince you of the error of your ways in an effort to avoid a TP intervention??:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Of course they shouldn't change it! Unless you hung it the wrong way. In that case it is justified. Since it happened so often with multiple guests YOU are clearly the problem. :lol::lol::lol: I'd do it just to mess with someone :D :lol: That's what I thought too! You aren't having it hang down from the back of the roll against the wall are you? That would explain your guests correcting the situation. :D I wouldn't change it in someone's house, but I'd want to. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCrazyMama Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 :lol: And all this time I've thought it was ridiculously easy to grab the toilet paper regardless of which way you put it on. :iagree: Discussions regarding the proper way to hang toilet paper crack me up. So no, I would never switch the roll around at someone's house or even notice if they changed mine.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I may twitch each time I go in and see it the 'wrong' way, but I have control enough not to 'fix' it in someone else's home. ;) That's just weird. :p :iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I would hang a calligraphy above the roll in the bathroom: Dear Guest, We have placed this roll here for your use. We hope you find it in an acceptable position. However, if at anytime, the manner in which it is hung disturbs your OCD sense of propriety, please feel free to adjust the situation.

Virg Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I will be really honest. My obsessions and compulsions might lead me to change the roll in someone else's house although I'd exert effort to leave it be... However, if they then changed it back, I would feel horrible and embarrassed and would do everything in my power to not change it again. :001_huh: ETA: If someone switched it at my house I would probably hyperventilate lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occasionally Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 That's hilarious! OP, it makes me wonder if your guests are conspiring to tease you. Are you at all known for being picky about things like that? Or maybe they're trying to subtly convince you of the error of your ways in an effort to avoid a TP intervention??:tongue_smilie: That might be hilarious--if people liked seeing my eyebrows twitch :lol: DH knows I have a preference, but I don't think that information has made its way to all of these populations through him. (I actually thought it was him at first--we disagree on tp direction, and I thought he was changing it to how he thought other people would want it.)

awisha. Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This thread has made me giggle. I have the tp with the end facing out, I think it is awkward if it hangs against the wall. And I would never change it at someones house because that is just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyinND Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 :lol: I would never change someone else's roll, but I would silently judge them for hanging it wrong. :D Everyone knows the correct way is over the top...:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianmumof5 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 :lol: I would never change someone else's roll, but I would silently judge them for hanging it wrong. :D Everyone knows the correct way is over the top...:lol: :iagree: At our house - it is a "chore" for one of the kids to go around the house and make sure that each bathroom has toilet paper on the holder as well as extras on the back of the toilet.....I am always switching the TP to MY way..... Time for me to be more specific on the directions for this particular chore :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellydon Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have a strong opinion on which way the roll should face. :tongue_smilie: I wouldn't change the roll direction in someone else's house, although I'd surely notice and wonder why they put it on backwards. :lol: Yep!

Mommyof4ks Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I would never notice if someone switched my TP, because I just stick the thing on the holder and move on. It would never occur to me to switch a roll around at someone's house. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aim too, please. In case of air raid, hide in here: it hasn't been hit yet. and so on.... When new friends would come over, they would always take forever in the bathroom. As a teen, I was less than impressed by my mother's sense ofhumour, of course. :D All she was missing was a sign about the TP. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I would never switch it in YOUR house, or anyone else, but I switch it at my own all the time. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCyndiGirl Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I would only do this in my brother's house to tick him off or in my best friend's house to make her laugh, but as a general rule: no. And I AM particular about the way it is hung. For me it has to be, ya know....the right way! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
