LongLiveRalph Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have always assumed overhand was the proper method...It just seems to make sense...You're rolling it towards you, you can see the perforations where you tear the sheets, it's all very easy. Underhand makes no sense, it's harder to tear because you're kinda reaching under the roll...It's a disaster. My girlfriend grew up in a house with underhand, I grew up with overhand...We each install the TP to our personal preference when the roll goes empty...Although I think she's beginning to see the logic of the overhand roll but is holding to the underhand out of principle and tradition. Thank you for confirming that the nation is overwhelmingly overhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofiba Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I hate the under method. Whenever it is set up that way I can never rip the paper. It just keeps coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Overhand, naturally. Next question, where do you locate the mount? This is equally as important. I'd say best position is along side of you on the opposite side as your wiping/tearing hand. People who mount it on the wall in front of the toilet always baffle me. It's never close enough to reach without leaning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Interesting question. I have no idea where the servants fetch the paper from when I finish in the water closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 For years I was an underhand man. But I now find myself preferring overhand. After further analysis, I actually believe it has to do with the individual setup of the toilet/roll. I have found it some setups underhand seems to be more convenient, but overhand works best in most situations. Context, as usual, is necessary to consider before answering the question.

BuffaloBill Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Come on, how do you not make this a poll? Overhand of course. Under is for commies. +1 on both points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hmmm...I think I'll go down to my basement and see how the inventory stands... ...43 double rolls. Which may seem a lot, but as a song once said, "The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Let it roll, baby, roll ..." Boo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 under is more visually appealing without question....over just looks kind of sloppy. Edit: I see that I am yet again in the minority. That is because it takes a little time and work to kept the over roll kept. "Point it" and it won't look sloppy... Actually neater! Oh, ya... That takes a whole 3 seconds to do. People don't even have time to change the roll... It is a wonder how the heck they get their ass clean. Maybe people should be conscientious and put a new roll on before the old one is totally spent... Then leave the old on-top of the new one for the next person... Of course "pointing" both. See that is the problem, nobody likes to do a little extra, especially for the next fella. Don't even get me started on people who hit the head and lay a butt blaster down without putting a layer of toilet paper on the water first! That is freaking down right scary and sick! /Signed, Clean&FastidiousInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 loose on the floor is what happens when you place it in the over configuration. No. What the eff, you Speedy Gonzales? I am sure when you walk into a hotel that just had housekeeping, it is all loose on the floor? No it is not, and it is overhand... And Again, mostly "pointed." A little bit of "time and effort" goes a long way folks... Even when wiping your ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
