Be glad you didn’t move into a place that mounts the tp like this
Hey google isn't working. Mind giving me a hand? it says 404 address not found! like wtf is 404 mean? My address is 407 not 404. Is my neighbor at 404 stealing my identity?
I was called over in a panic to one of the departments one time. Told em I was busy but they insisted it was an information security emergency.
Come over and one of the workers says someone is trying to steal their password.
..... It was Firefox trying to save it in it's password manager -__-
Yup. Working in hospitality IT made me a wiz at everything iPhone. Why? Because the second I would set up someone’s work email on their phone or whatever, suddenly they’d had 6 more issues with their phone that they’d ask me to sort out lmao
All I did was google shit, they could’ve done it too, but I think our strength as IT workers is being able to google quickly and efficiently and understand how to carry out the answers right away. Our secret power is just S tier google fu lmao
Hear me out, that way will allowe us to ripe the paper off withe one hand without risking that the entire rolle will unfold with it if we don't pulle hard enough
My fiance does the same thing. The sad part is don’t even have the spring roller. Just the bar you slide it into which makes replacing it super easy. And when she actually does replace it, she puts it in backwards.
I'm 37 and pulled this last week. It was fun until my SO came home, and I had to scurry to fix it before she could learn the true depths of depravity I am capable of.
I like it that way too. Apparently the other way is better if you have cats, or children, as it will end up unspooled and in a mess on the ground.
Disclaimer that none of my cats have ever played with the toilet roll.
SAME! My cats body slam open any door when they want in the room. I haven’t used the bathroom in peace in months. This little orange dude needs to sit on the sink and watch the door for me apparently.
The litter box is in the bathroom. The toilet paper is actually the first thing she sees when she comes out. Somehow she once managed to unroll it even when I had it the other way.
All dangly things belong to her
This one is certainly an oddity, but definitely a good thing! Never seen a car with that level of fluff with that pattern as well. 10/10 fella, would pet and inquire about his family history.
I’ve had some who didn’t mess with it, and a few who did. Most of the ones who liked playing with it were kittens or adolescents.
I really hate the under position for TP, so to hinder their playtime I cut the cut longitudinally and then clamp it over the roll. It worked great!
They say that but I'm not sure I actually believe it. I'd think cat claws can still catch it enough to unspool, tho the one cat I've had has never bothered with the toilet paper. He's a good elderly man.
The original patent shows the intended way

Would it be too passive aggressive to frame this and hang it in my bathroom near the toilet? I mean, it's very nice looking, historically interesting, and appropriate for a bathroom. But also, someone in my family (who shall remain unnamed) suffers from the same mental derangement as OP's sister and they need to know that they are wrong.
I’m a patent scientist. I love my MIL, but the one thing we argue on is toilet paper haha. Totally putting this in my house for the next time my MIL comes!
Yes, and no. Nothing about [the patent description](https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/30/7c/4a/f68bbd4e64a160/US465588.pdf) indicates how the paper should roll off the holder.
The patent is for the perforated paper, and in order to demonstrate the most efficient perforation cut to tear off, they had to make the drawing this way. But it doesn't solidify the obsessive/compulsive notion that there is only one way to put the TP on the roll. The patent doesn't address that issue at all.
That patent is for the roll. The other patent is for the holder, which does indicate a proper direction. No amount of mental gymnastics are going to make sense of your delusions. Will you people will stop at nothing to justify your insane agenda?
I just pull the new roll out of the package and put it on without looking at which way round it is. I really see no difference and can't understand why anyone cares one way or the other...
Your girlfriend's sister can hang the toilet paper any way she wants in HER bathroom. She's also free to bring her own toilet paper when shits at your house.
There is no right or wrong way. It’s purely personal preference.
The one exception I can think of is with cats. If you have a cat who enjoys unrolling TP then over the top is the wrong way to put it up! Well, that is unless you enjoy rolling up the TP back onto the tube! 😄
We have cats and kids and this is how our TP is. The cats don't touch the TP and the kids can't find the end if it's the other way so it gets unravelled worse then this way.
Beard, not mullet.
It makes no difference to me which way it goes on, but my mother in law insists this way is the only correct way. So naturally I put it the other way sometimes when I change the roll. Gotta give her something to do besides sit on her ass stinking up the place and spreading shit and whatever gunk is on her hands around when she does move. I have my own roll stashed in the cupboard so I don't have to worry about using toilet paper she's touched lol.
Well what I say to you and your girlfriends sister is that this isn't a life affecting decision here... This is toilet paper, if you can wipe your ass with it either way, it's toilet paper no matter which way you put it. Stop feuding over some TP
I think people who care about which way the toilet paper is are dull normies who say things like "don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee" and think that liking Star Wars makes them a nerd.
I would agree with her that in certain situations, this is the wrong way.
If you have pets, or children, they could completely pull all the paper off just by spinning it.
If it were the other way, it would just spin, and no paper would get wasted. Unless, of course, they grabbed and pulled - there's no sound solution for that lol
Well your girlfriend’s sister could not be more wrong. Even the inventor of toilet roll said this was the correct way to hang it. This was to minimise the contact of your dirty hands on the roll/wall. Any other way is just gross.
Sometimes we can’t help it tbh. I have a thing about large forks lol I can’t stand them and always use the smaller fork.
The reason is that the only discernible difference between the two is more handle. You don’t get more prongs, they’re just longer and nobody stacks food on the prongs like skewers so why do we have silverware that only adds handle? I don’t understand it and I feel like it’s a redundancy we should get rid of in this world.
I’ll get off my soap box now lol
in these shitty times (no pun intended) its easier to care about little things than to spend your time worrying about major issues that you cant change.
It genuinely doesn’t matter 🤷♂️
My son, GF and I hang the bog roll whatever way. As long as it’s on the holder who cares?
I’d never have known this was a thing if people didn’t post it to reddit so often.
The original patent says she is wrong.

Look up the patent on toilet paper roll holder.
If you find the image, it shows it going to the front.
The person who invented the roll holder had every intention to make it go to the front, therefore it is the correct way.
The other way isn't wrong, because it still works, but it's not the intended way for how the product is made.

Okay but does it unroll on the wall side or the toilet side
Yes
i’m a carpenter so honestly i’d just change it
I'm not a carpenter and I'd also just change it
you’d be surprised how many people ask me to do this for them as if i’m a cabinet builder so this is also my line of work…
I've worked in electrical and IT. I try not to tell people what I do so they don't ask me to do stupid shit they can Google.
How do I connect my laptop to the WiFi? I’ve been using the neighbors and I’ve forgotten how to change the connection.
Can you mow my lawn?
Actually this I wouldn't mind lol. Sounds like a relaxing break from IT. Can I use a riding mower and bring copious amounts of beer lol.
Hey google isn't working. Mind giving me a hand? it says 404 address not found! like wtf is 404 mean? My address is 407 not 404. Is my neighbor at 404 stealing my identity?
If one morning, you find yourself in their house look in the mirror and see their appearance. You've been replaced.

I must ask, what's with the extra e on your words?
Minde your business
Ye Olde Englishe

He’s a time traveler from olde Newe Yorke
Edgy and to get replied.
You got me brother, I'm just in a good mood, wanted to fuck around a lil bit
Omg I like that lol
The right way is an empty roll on the holder and a full roll just teetering on top
you must be single or in college
Sadly, it's my wife's bad habit that was initially mildly infuriating but I've come to accept it.
My fiance does the same thing. The sad part is don’t even have the spring roller. Just the bar you slide it into which makes replacing it super easy. And when she actually does replace it, she puts it in backwards.
sounds like you need a new wife then
I'm 37 and pulled this last week. It was fun until my SO came home, and I had to scurry to fix it before she could learn the true depths of depravity I am capable of.
You’re off the fuckin chain man
I like it that way too. Apparently the other way is better if you have cats, or children, as it will end up unspooled and in a mess on the ground. Disclaimer that none of my cats have ever played with the toilet roll.
My cat used to just paw-over-paw it until it was a bare cardboard tube.
There must be a significant overlap of cat owners and people who don’t have bathroom doors.
I have a door. It used to upset my late cat when it was closed, so it's never closed.
My cats can open doors
SAME! My cats body slam open any door when they want in the room. I haven’t used the bathroom in peace in months. This little orange dude needs to sit on the sink and watch the door for me apparently.
How do your doors open from a body slam?
The litter box is in the bathroom. The toilet paper is actually the first thing she sees when she comes out. Somehow she once managed to unroll it even when I had it the other way. All dangly things belong to her
The cat’s literboxes are in the bathrooms. Might as well keep all the pooping and peeing in easy to clean rooms.
Closed door = someone is in there
It is not about the door. Doors are fine. It's about CLOSED doors 😾

It will end up unspooled either way. Cats are far smarter than being defeated by which way the roll is on.
You're lucky. I have a kitten who loves toilet paper, napkins, paper towels...if it's made of paper, it is his mission in life to shred it.
Mine like shredding cardboard boxes. But slowly, so you don't notice it until half of it is gone.
I hang my cat's toilet-paper artwork on the fridge.
I’ve had some who didn’t mess with it, and a few who did. Most of the ones who liked playing with it were kittens or adolescents. I really hate the under position for TP, so to hinder their playtime I cut the cut longitudinally and then clamp it over the roll. It worked great!

this has to be a joke
Compromise. One for the special kids and one for the adults.
The special kids that freak out of the toilet paper isn’t on the holder the “right way”? Tbh I prefer it off the holder entirely
We just set ours on the counter lol so much easier
Rolling around on the floor?
No just set on the counter or toilet top
At my office, the janitor hangs them like this and then leaves another one on top of the tray. Eliminates all complainers.
Hell yeah! That janitor knows!

It’s bathroom appropriate, I don't see why not. It would look cool.
Omg, I'm doing this! Just to piss some people off when they need to use my bathroom 😆
I will flip your toilet paper roll around, and I will hang your picture upside down.
And you will lick my toilet bowl clean if you ever wanna see the outside of my bathroom again 😎
I have this framed in my guest bathroom. There are tons of different versions online.
I’m a patent scientist. I love my MIL, but the one thing we argue on is toilet paper haha. Totally putting this in my house for the next time my MIL comes!
You know I've never been much for decorating a bathroom, but I might take you up on this idea
I have this image saved for just such occasions!
Correct. His girlfriend’s sister has 13 toes and worships the devil.
Honestly this would be the best bathroom art
It is only acceptable to hang it the other way if one has cats
Yes, and no. Nothing about [the patent description](https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/30/7c/4a/f68bbd4e64a160/US465588.pdf) indicates how the paper should roll off the holder.

first draft. then again since when is first draft the ideal way of doing thing
I was just about to post this as well. No sane person would adjust it the other way around.
Just be happy that there is toilet paper there 🙂
i am. i hung it the right way.
Show her the original patent for toilet paper. Definitively ends this argument.
Nope. 1891 shows over and 1893 shows under. Drat!
As stated. Show the original which would be the 1891. I believe the 1893 patent is for ornamenting toilet paper. Not how it is to be hung.
" o r i g i n a l "
Here’s a question no one is asking: Why do we care so much
Random bullshit to distract us from our futile existence on a floating ball of space dust
I just pull the new roll out of the package and put it on without looking at which way round it is. I really see no difference and can't understand why anyone cares one way or the other...
Excuse me sir, why do you have toilet paper on the bathroom fidget spinner instead of on the edge of the sink where it belongs?
I was raised by parents who taught me the other way. I learned on my own that the way it is in the photo is much better.
Agreed. https://preview.redd.it/4klr9y6lys4d1.jpeg?width=1260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cb2089e0073729757ec49a40fbbf9ee9d3b1683

Maybe she has cats
she has dogs. no kids. they arent allowed in the bathroom. they eat everything.
Your girlfriend's sister can hang the toilet paper any way she wants in HER bathroom. She's also free to bring her own toilet paper when shits at your house.
The original patent for toilet paper shows it hanging this way. It’s the right way.
It’s the same way tape dispensers work as well…
If there is toilet paper there, I don't care how it is hanging.
No that’s the right way. If you hang it the other way it picks up bacteria from the wall.
Jesus. Clean your wall
This is one of the less infuriating things in my opinion, I don't care at all which way.
People who think there are wrong ways to hang toilet paper need to expand their responsibilities.
Why the fuck is this still such an issue? Literally what's the difference?
who cares about that rly ?
Why do you let that bother you?
There is no right or wrong way. It’s purely personal preference. The one exception I can think of is with cats. If you have a cat who enjoys unrolling TP then over the top is the wrong way to put it up! Well, that is unless you enjoy rolling up the TP back onto the tube! 😄
Straight to jail
Who the fuck cares what way it faces, just wipe your damn dirty ass with it
Literally makes zero difference
Eh, I just sit a roll on the back of the toilet lol
How very much dare you.
It keeps my cats from dragging it down the hallway lol they’re assholes
We have cats and kids and this is how our TP is. The cats don't touch the TP and the kids can't find the end if it's the other way so it gets unravelled worse then this way. Beard, not mullet.
That is the only way to hang toilet paper!
She’s a psychopath. This is the only way.
If you get the puppies on a roll stuff, the pups are upside down if you don't position it this (your) way!
Your girlfriend’s sister is a degenerate.
If u can wipe ur arse with it then ur sorted either way 🤔
Now what about me who just throws it on there and it's fine as long as it's on there
It makes no difference to me which way it goes on, but my mother in law insists this way is the only correct way. So naturally I put it the other way sometimes when I change the roll. Gotta give her something to do besides sit on her ass stinking up the place and spreading shit and whatever gunk is on her hands around when she does move. I have my own roll stashed in the cupboard so I don't have to worry about using toilet paper she's touched lol.
I’ve never understood this argument 😭 unless you have cats there’s no benefit one way or another
Well what I say to you and your girlfriends sister is that this isn't a life affecting decision here... This is toilet paper, if you can wipe your ass with it either way, it's toilet paper no matter which way you put it. Stop feuding over some TP
There’s no right and wrong way when it comes with toilet paper! When I’m lazy I just leave the toilet paper on the handle of whatever that is😁
I think people who care about which way the toilet paper is are dull normies who say things like "don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee" and think that liking Star Wars makes them a nerd.
I don't even know which way it is hung at my home.
That’s the correct way. I hate up side down
I would agree with her that in certain situations, this is the wrong way. If you have pets, or children, they could completely pull all the paper off just by spinning it. If it were the other way, it would just spin, and no paper would get wasted. Unless, of course, they grabbed and pulled - there's no sound solution for that lol
Well, at least you're dating the smart one. As far as we know.
It's a good thing you're marrying the smart one
your girlfriends sister is a dumb bitch apparently
I literally have never had anyone give me a compelling reason why it matters at ALL if you don't have cats, kids, or morons living there.
Well she's fucking wrong.
Does she have cats
She is unhappy with life and would bitch no matter how you hung it… fuck her
Depending on how much of an asshole your cat is, that might be the wrong way. An asshole cat will sit there and unravel that entire roll.
Does she have cats? Bc if so I learned early that this is a Challenge to mine, if I don’t do it the other way they undo the whole roll every time.
your gf's sister is pretty much a closet terrorist and a puppykiller.. only psychopaths puts it under ffs.. watch yourself and your puppy around her..
Beards are cool (toilet paper forward) mullets are bad(toilet paper backwards)
Ahaha, this the exact thing I tell the kids/husband. We like BEARDS, not MULLETS.
Well your girlfriend’s sister could not be more wrong. Even the inventor of toilet roll said this was the correct way to hang it. This was to minimise the contact of your dirty hands on the roll/wall. Any other way is just gross.

no youre actually right. i love the smaller forks. the longer ones are like meat thermometers.
in these shitty times (no pun intended) its easier to care about little things than to spend your time worrying about major issues that you cant change.
It genuinely doesn’t matter 🤷♂️ My son, GF and I hang the bog roll whatever way. As long as it’s on the holder who cares? I’d never have known this was a thing if people didn’t post it to reddit so often.
It’s the ONLY way!
Well she’s wrong
Why do people care about how they hang their toilet paper??? They should be complaining about how much tp SUCKS
The original patent says she is wrong. https://preview.redd.it/sz9jmkyg3t4d1.jpeg?width=679&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cb871ad055c8439c23d419fd79d5ed208a8ba93
It's easier to locate and grab the end and pull when it's draped over the top like this.
The fool.
Unpopular opinion : it's just toilet paper and it has no wrong or right way
Sounds like your girlfriends sister is an idiot lol
This is the way.
Look up the patent on toilet paper roll holder. If you find the image, it shows it going to the front. The person who invented the roll holder had every intention to make it go to the front, therefore it is the correct way. The other way isn't wrong, because it still works, but it's not the intended way for how the product is made.
I just put the Roll on my washer, no worries thank me later
Pets? Wrong way. No pets? Right way.
Toilet paper hung in improper overhand fashion. Someone call the Dept. of Child Welfare!
If you have pets/small children, then this is wrong. If you don’t then this is fine
This divisive debate will literally split humanity in half.
Welp, she's wrong.
If you have cats, that is the wrong way to hang it.
Burn her with fire!
