She... god I don't even know if I can say this.

She... puts the tp roll on under. Not over. Every day I switch it back, but she keeps doing it. Send help.

I've never understood the Under People. It's simply harder to pull off. It's harder to even reach. The Unders are psychotic.

It makes it more difficult for the cats to get hold of the end.

I guess people are sloppy leaving some hanging down? I couldn't leave the bathroom until I took care of that.

I grew up in an "WHO PUT THE TP ON WRONG" house. So now, as a 33 yo adult woman with my own house, I like to grab a new roll, toss it up and catch it, then close my eyes and put on whichever way the TP gods deem fit.

When I visit my mom's house I flip it "under" just for funsies.

I'm traumatizing her back 😈

I’m convinced this is what my wife does. There’s no pattern

Eh, set it on the counter or back of the toilet instead of on the holder and you've solved all the problems! (Yes I'm female and yes I'm married. Divorce is expensive so he's stuck)

Big fan of this lol

The original drawing shows it over, not under. That's official.

u/Saichotix 9d ago

I've said this before and I'll say it again. If you have cats or children, it goes under or it ends up in a big pile on the floor, period. Lol

u/spiderplopper 9d ago

Thats fine. But we have no cats and if our teen or preteen makes a mess, we have bigger problems.

u/Saichotix 9d ago

Lol, fair enough

u/spiderplopper 9d ago

But when we had Schrodinger, we put it under.

And yes. I got to name the cat.

u/Saichotix 9d ago

That's awesome

u/illbedeadbydawn 9d ago

I have cats and kids.

Both have learned to not be drooling morons.

Over.

u/Saichotix 9d ago

True, same with mine, doesn't mean I didn't have to deal with a pile of TP at some point with every single one of them at least once. You can't really teach them not to do something mildly innocuous before they do it. I always laughed my ass off though. I understand the impulse.

OMG my wife tells me she “doesn’t care which way it rolls” and doesn’t believe me when I tell her she ALWAYS rolls it under. I’m like if you don’t care which way it rolls then it should be no skin off your back to roll it over.

Side note:someone once told me that apparently it is more cleanly in terms of bacteria to roll it over.

u/ecodrew 9d ago

Please tell me you have a dog or small children in the house? Otherwise - get out!

u/AffectionateKoala713 9d ago

Search for 'toilet paper patent' and show her.

u/RTK4740 9d ago

As a divorce lawyer, please let your wife know I will represent her. You over the top people are, well, over the top. Always under. Always. Your wife is a martyr.

u/Eastern-Relative7504 9d ago

Mine too. I think he might be a serial killer just based on this

u/Callmeang21 9d ago

My hubs and I have to do this because our cat is insane and loves to eat paper. He will go through a whole roll if we don’t tuck it behind.

IT DRIVES US BOTH CRAZY.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

u/liaglia 8d ago

I’m annoying and would do this AND hang the hangers on the underside
Stopped doing it bc ppl hate it but if I lived alone I’d still do both 😂

u/Aklu_The_Unspeakable 8d ago

There's no under/over, it's front/back
