I would also like to state that toilet paper is indeed better (and cheaper I'm sure), when you have a cold or allergy, than actual tissues. Except that cheap crap that companies buy.

They've done studies that show that people who prefer the paper rolled over are generally wealthier / higher class. *sticks his nose in the air* heheh

This one's a personal gripe of mine... if you roll it under, there are several disadvantages:
1. It's more difficult to grab the end, as it rests against the wall / cabinet.
2. It's more difficult to get a good angle to tear off the paper, and you have to make this awkward upward motion rather than a clean downward / sideways rip.
3. The toilet paper brushes against the wall... which is sorta gross, when you think about it.

Oooh, I hate it when my boyfriend puts the toilet paper in so it's on the inside ... just a pet peeve of mine.

Well, at least he puts the toilet paper in. I guess I can be thankful for that :p

To borrow from the recent astrology thread... the picky Virgo boyfriend I lived with for two years trained me to place the roll so that the paper roll feeds over the top and not under; I still do it this way to this day, even 10 years and one boyfriend (a Leo, and now my spouse) later. :D

I always put it so it rolls under, otherwise the cats will spread an entire roll of it all through the house by the time I get home from work.

If it actually makes it to the roll holder I prefer over...but I'm a hand roll holder myself so the roll usually stays on the top of the comode or perched on the dispenser. My ex used to make fun of me for making what he called oven mitts every time I pee.

The toilet paper is for the guests and I don't care which way it goes.

For me, nothing but a moist sanitary wipe. That way I avoid that "no so fresh" feeling. :D

I'm a hand-roller as well. We just have the roll atop the Dryer, along with the "small" bathroom library. It's odd, though.. I honestly never considered the alignment of a toilet-paper roll had much significance, mostly because I never thought about it. ..Huh.

OK perhaps this got a little too detailed! lol

I see OVER is winning, but of course!

After all it is what ANALTECH recommends as "The Logical Choice". (see website)

I'm still ripping pages out of a Sears & Roebucks catalog, so the poll question is moot in my case.

I think it's more the case that a person has just brushed the wall with the same hand they used to touch their ass when they go back for a second piece of tp.

The position of the roll feed can be divided into two distinct camps, the tiki-wiki and the duffer . The tiki-wiki is the technologist and they understand how the world works and knows the optimum position is the underside feed. This ensures the roll does not spin excessivily and feed half the roll to the floor with just a small tug and require the operator to backfeed the product back onto the roll.

The duffer is the everyman, the typical consumer, the unwashed masses if you will. These are the people who tend to take their computer to a repairman to defragment their E Machine's hard drive, are often distracted by shiny objects and drive Chrystler minivans. They are easily befuddled as to why the roll will spin and spin and then have to wind it back into a disorderly wad. Does this upset them? Usually not, they have long grown used to things like this like the paper towels spinning into the sink, the vegitable bags zinging down into the zuccini bin etc. They believe it is just a part of life and go on.
