1. I was once an "over the top" stalwart, now, well,
however it goes on s how it goes on! Availabilty is the key metric here.

2. Over the top makes the most sense. When you're hung over, all you do is paw at it.

3. Over the top, but that has one drawback:
It's easier for cats to unroll and shred the TP all over your bathroom.

4. Half the time it's on the counter next to the toilet
Usually if company is coming I put it on the roll OVER.

22. Then the cat might play this game
Toilet Paper Basketball. Two points for a knockdown on the floor; three if the roll goes in the bowl.

I think she should seek psychiatric help. It's DUMB!!!

9. I was always over the top....
These days, I have decided that if the hanger is at knee level, over the top makes sense. I the hanger at at shoulder lever, from the back. And in between is the time when you have to argue about it.

10. depends on the height of the toilet roll holder....
if it's up far enough I could understand hanging it from the back. mine is in a position where over the top just seems to make sense.

p.s. hotels do it right plus they fold it into a nice little triangle.

13. Several cats I had taught me it was best to pull from the back.
Otherwise, I'd come home and TP would be everywhere.

17. Depends what it's hanging on...
with some holders, pulling it from the front pulls the entire roll downward and back and it can bind against the wall. This might help with the cat problem, but but leaves you with lots of tiny little pieces.

18. What I want to know is who made it a building code violation
for a toilet paper contraption in a public restroom to be somewhere other than where my knee will bang into it?

21. From the back, especially if you have kitties
If you put the TP over the top with a kitten (or kittenish cat) in the house, your bathroom will be covered in unrolled toilet paper.
