Aloha Friday #117

Filed under aloha friday, columns, memes

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

Toilet paper dispenser . . . over or under?

  2. Before getting married I preferred under. Since I told hubby he had to put the seat down, I now put the TP on over.

  8. TechyDad says:

    If you’re standing by the toilet and need some toilet paper, you need to bend down to get it if it is under. Over means less bending. Sitting down, it doesn’t matter as much. This is why I prefer it over the roll.

    I don’t care anymore, now that I use wipes exclusively, but before I used to be an “under” girl!

    Either is fine with me. Living in a house with DH and three teen boys I am just thrilled if someone besides me replaces the toilet paper.

  12. Simply Cathi says:

    Over and I’ve been know to “fix” it elsewhere when it’s “wrong”. ;)

  13. Jeremy says:

    hmm, ah yes the old toilet paper debate. Since all our holders are broken or missing in our house, I would be happy if it were attached to the wall. I guess I should take care of that. :)

  14. Vicki says:

    Over, never under. Only OVER!

  16. Annie says:

    LOL I have seen this question all over the blogosphere lately :)

    I actually don’t pay attention – but I do know that whenever I put it on my husband changes it. I think he likes over….I am not sure. I really should pay more attention :)

  18. Clara says:

    I’m with Simply Cathi. It has to be over. And I’ll fix it in a public restroom. I don’t change it in someone’s home, tho. But it’s really hard not to!

  35. Buffie says:

    Definitely over. I’m so obsessive about it that my hubby won’t even put the new roll on anymore. He leaves on the counter and I have to put it on. It’s ok though because then I know it will be put on properly – with the paper going over.

  39. Jamie says:

    It definitely depends on the bathroom and location of the dispenser. Our last apt. it had to be under and this one it has to be over! You have to do the ‘in the middle of the night with no lights on’ test to determine what is easier, haha!

  51. When you live with three guys, you tend to just go with the flow. Because if I allow one way or the other to drive me crazy?

    I would be posting this from a mental institution. lol

  52. Kimberly says:

    Definitely OVER. And I’ve finally got everybody trained to put it on the right way.

  53. JHS says:

    UNDER. Otherwise, it is backwards. My cleaning lady has a tendency to put the roll on over, so after she leaves I fix it. I am delighted to say that there is always paper on the roll in both of my bathrooms because my boys replace it, just as I taught them. I never could train their father . . . but since he doesn’t live here with us, it doesn’t matter. What he does in my other house, I don’t care!

    Heck, I am just happy someone puts a roll out!

  63. Definitely OVER!! And I will fix it if someone puts it on incorrectly. And like Clara, I will fix it in public bathrooms, too… however unlike Clara, I WILL change it in other people’s houses.
    I do the same thing with paper towels, too! I have OCD – that is my only explanation, sorry!

  64. Me so hongry says:

    Well, neither. I broke the rolly thing for the toilet paper, so for the time being the roll just sis on the bathroom counter. Usually I slide a couple of fingers through the tube and then proceed to roll the toilet paper for use around my free hand.
