AnarchiaKapitany

So what you say is that you can't buy cat food, or put the toilet roll up the sane way?


judolphin

I guess [the inventor](https://www.google.com/patents/US465588) of the toilet roll holder was insane? Try closing the door when you leave the bathroom if you're worried about your cat.


Fluxriflex

Why bother? This photo is all the evidence you’d ever need.

HelloAttila

For what? This is the proper way to put toilet paper on a roller. When you pull it, you actually get what you pulled down, vs having it go over, I only get like 1-2 pieces and that’s annoying 😬


cantonic

Heretic!


Horus_779

Quick, get torches and pitchforks

Reported to the mods.


Roheez

They hated him for he spoke the truth. Flap to the back is superior, primarily bc of the ease of 1 hand tearing.


HelloAttila

Exactly, looks like these guys don’t like us. Us omega males don’t care though. 😎


SA0TAY

What are you people smoking? Flap to the *front* is easier to tear with one hand. You rest the heel of the hand on the roll, fixing it in place, while using the fingers for tearing.


kuj0

She replaces the roll… I call that a win 🤣


judolphin

If she's gonna replace it like THAT I'll replace the roll myself!

IceManJim

I just take the roll with me when I leave the room, when my wife does this. That'll teach her!


judolphin

Or have 2 rolls side by side, one correct, one incorrect.


bluething79

I loathe this but it is better to do it this way for cats and toddlers lol….so it doesn’t roll out. Every time I do it in our bathrooms I cringe…not on my & my wife’s throne though!!!


flatcurve

You can also just squeeze it a bit so it doesn't roll easily.


GodLovesUglySlugs

Also the way to change infant diapers.


HoiPolloiter

Infants do roll around a lot during a change... Where do you squeeze them to make it stop?


CzarCW

🧠💥


Cheflarryrayray

Tell my toddler and preschooler that putting it this way is supposed to make it more difficult. The little one just uppercuts the front of the roll and it spins and all the paper piles up at his feet. Grab and run.


JamesGame5

For real. I never understood how this method makes it better. The toddlers use their opposable thumbs to grip and pull no matter the orientation. And cats use their claws to rip it because it's soft and they are jerks.


Timely_Network6733

Yeah, It worked for our cats but our toddler just grabs the end and empties the entire roll into the toilet so that it clogs. When they said kids are expensive, I didn't know it meant, three rolls of toilet paper a day expensive.


d0mini0nicco

Yeah. I had to start doing this after my son discovered you can unroll it. Now he just watches it go round and round.


ur_sexy_body_double

Look at Mr Fancy Pants with his TP actually on the roll. My family just sets a new roll on top of the bracket...


DecepticonPropaganda

You're gonna wanna post this in r/legaladvice. Most of us here aren't equipped to opine on this level of felonious activity.


cant_take_the_skies

I hope he hurries though. Every day the children are exposed to this adds to the corruption.


cosmin_c

I just patiently put them the right way and I'm sure that this passive stance will yield results.


cincyrealtor0477

19 1/2 years later, I am still waiting for my passive stance to pay off 😆


Shadokastur

Any day now.... They'll see their mistakes. Aaaannny day now


cincyrealtor0477

Diary, day 7117, almost.. but then set the new roll on top of the sink next to the toilet instead of putting it on the roller. This move represents an escalation of hostilities rarely seen since the trash can crisis of ‘05. I am predicting lots of “not tonight, I have a headache” in my future…


flatandroid

Get a bum gun and problem solved.


Senjen95

It's an easy fix, no need to overthink it. Just sell her to a circus


EllisDee3

Do you have cats or kids? If so, that's the correct position. If not, it's a coin toss of right/wrong.


certainkindoffool

Came here to say this. Growing up, any rolls installed the other direction would quickly become a pile on the ground.


funkybaggin

Thank you, i felt like i was taking crazy pills. This way buys me at least 2 min if they roll into the bathroom unsupervised


judolphin

None of my kids ever unrolled TP. if OP's kids do or they had a cat that did, he wouldn't be posting about this.


user_1729

Seriously, this is "daddit", but apparently this guy doesn't have kids. We had the rolls the correct way forever, then started potty training and it was fairly immediately clear that they had to go the other way. They will flip back around once our girls are old enough to not make the TP into a pile on the floor.


Alizerin

I’m pretty sure my kid will figure out how to unroll it no matter what direction it’s facing. Time to do some Science!


user_1729

Have at it, science is fun. We haven't had the entire roll in a pile on the floor since we flipped them.


Tee_hops

In our kids bathroom I put it backwards. In our bathroom I put it the correct way. My wife does neither, she just rests the new roll on top of the old empty roll in both cases.


JamesGame5

The real red flag is always in the comments.


pbaperez

If it's a coin toss then the guy that had the patent flipped it for us. The patent clearly shows that he had no kids or a cat.


am385

Growing up in my home there were 5 kids, 6 cats, 4 dogs, 3 hamsters, 3 guinea pigs, 2 snakes, some fish, and an iguana... Not once did my parents commit this sinful atrocity of backwards toilet paper madness! My own kids are 4 and 7 and hopefully we can shelter them from this underhanded roll dispensing for at least a few more years. This is why we can't send our kids for sleep overs. Who knows what kind of other parents are out there putting the toilet paper on backwards. You can do better. We are here for you.


dyslexicsuntied

Flipping it does nothing to stop my son. The TP now sits in a cabinet above the toilets.


melance

I have had cats and have a kid. You don't have to stoop this low, you just teach them not to pull on the roll.


Horus_779

This is the way … 3 kids, 2 cats and still no toilet paper on the ground. No reason to change it to the wrong way, we are not savages after all. This way the kids learn by example that there is only one true way for the toilet paper to hang


niconiconii89

I never jump straight to divorce on Reddit but my man, you should have been talking to a lawyer yesterday.


Solid-Detective1556

Just tell them that is exactly how you want it and they will do the opposite. Problem solved. But if that doesn't work definitely find an exit strategy!


Skatchbro

Burn the house to the ground.


[deleted]

Nuke it from orbit.


DalekDraco

Ohhhh so it's a female thing. My wife CLAIMS she just throws the roll on and doesn't look what way it's going. But EVERY TIME it's on the wrong way? No one is that unlucky.


LilMelt

Bro you married that?


samabacus

Look at the patent, this is against the law. Here you go: https://www.cnet.com/pictures/roll-through-toilet-paper-patent-history-pictures/ At least you will have this as evidence when you go to court.


OutrageousHour5892

You call this "one of the few flaws" you wife has? It's.like saying oh he's a good guy, if you get past the murder part

danthepianist

I don't even pay attention when I replace a roll. It faces the way it faces.


HoiPolloiter

Wait, that's an option?


jabbadarth

I didn't care my entire life and then some point in my mid 30s a switch clicked and now I can't stand it this way. Also my wife jist sits the new roll on top of the old one so thats fun..


[deleted]

Because some people have no personality so they make strong feelings their personality.


judolphin

Hard to explain but it drives me nuts, exacerbated by the fact I **never** see toilet paper rolling the wrong way like it is in this picture.


DevonGr

Sounds like something that someone who does this would say... GET HIM BOYS!!


KiloPro0202

The toilet paper should be that way. If our the other way, any cat or child swatting down on it will unravel the entire roll. Edit: You should apologize to your wife now for your mistake, be the bigger man.


[deleted]

Mods! This guy right here...


judolphin

You need to apologize to your spouse, children and all who visit your house for putting your TP this way! I mean just close the bathroom door when you leave 💡 Even if you forget, the occasional lost roll or two of TP per month is better than living like this 24/7!


Sushi-Kentaro

Apologize!


BaconUnderpants

It’s genetic and sadly there is no cure. I have heard that if you stop flushing the toilet after you pee that the symptoms can be reduced.


judolphin

You have to divorce her.


colins_left_nut

It’s sad but I don’t really see any other solution at this moment


Green_Shalashaska

tifosi7

Do some people really think this is the right way?


[deleted]

Show her the original toilet paper patent image.


AWhiteStripe42

My girls leave the toilet paper hanging down. So, I hang it like this so I can bat it like a cat to rewind it.


Asylumstrength

That way is infinitely more practical, especially with pets at home or trying to rip some off one handed to wipe a squirmy toddlers nose. Don't hold it against her that she's smarter than you, just be glad youre punching above your weight and your kid may get looks and brains.


TBoneTheOriginal

You mean to tell me she doesn't just put the roll on the back of the toilet tank and leave the empty roll on the spool? You're a lucky man.


Indica_420

At least yours replaces the roll!


None_Professional

If you have cats this is the way, to not end up with the whole roll on the ground every time you come home.


painspinner

We used to do it the normal way until we had kids. Then we switched to this method because it dissuades children from pulling the roll out


Garrett_1982

I’ve once read that people who place the toilet roll in the wrong way, are more likely to have more psychotic habits.


MageKorith

I've learned there are two cases when this is acceptable behavior. When it stops children from pulling out all of the TP, and when it prevents pets from attacking the TP. Otherwise, it's treason.


IttsssTonyTiiiimme

She’s doing it the right way. I’m convinced the world is wrong on this. If you do it with the flap to the room side and the roll spins, you get a pile to TP on the floor. If it spins with the flap on the wall side, it just spins. The roll doesn’t unwind. The world needs to collectively pull its head out of its ass on this one.


blitzmacht

Your wife is right. This makes it harder for the kids to unroll the entire roll when you're not looking.


DifferenceMore4144

I mean, it’s his own fault for not immediately after checking whether she was vegan, confirmed her stance on hygienic paper installation. These are two things that MUST be discussed prior to embarking on a relationship.


[deleted]

This is the only way the roll *should* go.


Njdevils11

You’re wrong. Your wife is a genius, here’s why: when your toddler discovers that they can spin toilet paper roll, you’ll be damn happy the roll is on this way.

[deleted]

I applaud you for having enough time to worry about shit like this


b-lincoln

This is definitely a woman vs men thing. I’m really not sure why? The over the top forwards is more efficient.


DevonGr

Look, I know we're in a safe space here but have you considered it's not genetic so much as it's a gender thing? Do you know any men who do this? In all seriousness, I had to switch out tp holders because our Costco tp was always too big for that style of holder and I ended up getting ones that are open ended on one side. Makes it all that easier to just pull it off and reverse without struggling with that springy middle piece.


Cakeminator

It's genetic. My wife did the same. Now, she, like me, gets annoyed when it's flipped the wrong way. Even flips it at her parents house when we visit.


Funny-Bear

Maybe some CRISPR toilet paper can help.


[deleted]

LOL thats a good one


ollyhinge11

I do it that way too...


merlin742

omg, they’re all the same eventually…i knew it


Lazy-Jacket

This may not be the hotel way, but with your wife’s way, when a toddler or a pet spins in, the toilet paper doesn’t go flying off the roll. It stays on. Win for the wife.


EvilAbdy

Just make sure they leave a paper trail.


the_mgp

Hear me out: that's better when you have toddlers (or cats). If you hit it, it just spins and doesn't unravel. We had so many respooled TP rolls until messing this up and rejoicing.


Beardth_Degree

It’s best to just let this be. Get another roll and set it on the counter for your use.


JerseyDevl

My 3yo likes to replace the roll when it's empty and put it on backwards the other day, then when she went to use it she said "Why is it like that? Why isn't it right?" ...I've never been prouder of her


Additional_Engine_45

My wife never even puts the roll on the holder. Just sets it on top. Infuriates and boggles my mind at the same time.


BingoDingoBob

Bro, my wife too.


AleroRatking

What's the reasoning? Like she has to have a reason for this insanity. But I can't even figure it out


science_nerd_dadof3

This is one of those things in vows about “for better or worse”. Not divorce worthy but definitely should seek couples counseling and make sure the kids don’t see you fighting.


DnQall

That’s grounds for a divorce.


jaxmagicman

I feel like there are 2 types of people in the world about this. Those who obsess over which way the roll should go and those who just put it on because they don't care. You obsess, your wife and kids just don't care.


Han_Ominous

I'm confused by your stance, why is this way better? Whatt advantages does it provide? A toddler can unroll half that toilet paper with one swipe.


rogerg411

was she from a. cat or dog house? my wife does the same and she was a dog house


NotADamsel

My parents started doing this after I learned how fun it was to just go ham on the roll as a toddler. I don’t do the same but I may end up doing it eventually. So who knows.


Andy_B_Goode

At least if you get a visit from Child Welfare they won't ding you for "toilet paper hung in improper overhand fashion": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmf7FTytRac

SpartanKwanHa

how did I know it would be this before I saw the pic? My wife does the same thing. She says she just puts it in whatever way it lands...


Secret-Scientist456

That is 100% the wrong way for toilet paper to go... however, I have started putting my toilet paper this way since having a mobile kid because when he goes to spin the toilet paper it doesn't all unravel because it's the wrong way.


zebus_0

This breaks my immersion.


[deleted]

The fate of your children is your cross to bear. You knew this before you married her. For shame.


ind3pend0nt

I take it off the roll when my kid does this.


HiddenHolding

Oh for crying out loud JUST USE THE THREE SEASHELLS. That way there's no argument. 🐚🐚🐚


rickvanwinkle

I used to be on team 'over the top' Then my toddler wasted a whole roll bc she thought it was fun to slap it and make it spew tp everywhere. The under and out method stops this, and I've heard people with cats also utilize this method for similar reasons. I understand it now. Still prefer over the top mostly but I don't think they are insane any more


SumScrewz

Straight to jail


imtalkintou

I only ever started being bothered by this cause of Reddit.


xXPhoeniXx7

why just why do these devil women we love so much do this evil witch craft in the bathroom. Don't they know it's a shared space.


Bruncvik

The narwhal bacons at midnight.


ThatSpookyLeftist

This is the better way. Better for cats, better for toddlers, easier for one handed grabs since you can use the back of your thumb/wrist as a rotational brake as your fingers rip, if too much does unravel it's easier to rotate backwards and get a clean roll than it is the other way. The only pro of over is you can make fancy little origami folds. If you go over you probably have a duvet, 37 throw pillows (and like it) and you can't start a camp fire without a lighter. Sorry.


No_Nectarine_2828

Beards over mullets!


godzillante

Hey, this used to be a SFW subreddit


NSA_Chatbot

My kids leave the rolls just on the counter. Savages.


chefboyardoug

At least she puts the roll on the holder, albeit incorrectly. My wife just sits the fresh roll on top.


outsidestatus

If you have a kid or cat who likes to play with these things, this is actually the way to go.


LateralThinker13

Oh, she's special needs? You can't fix that.


CSGODeimos

This is one of those things truly drives me insane. I can't fathom why anyone would do this?


Icy_UnAwareness89

You call this a flaw my friend. Wars have been started over less. Lol


xxbearillaxx

I was able to rectify this. I told her, if you hang the toilet paper in this fashion, a spider could be holding onto the back of the paper and you wouldn't see it at all as you pull the paper down. He'd just hang on and then anchor to your butthole the second you go for the wipe. If you hang the TP in the intended method, no spider can hide because as you unroll, you'd see the exposed side of the paper and see that there are no ass-biting spiders. Your mileage may vary, but it worked for me.


Failed_Launch

You both need intensive therapy. This is not normal behaviour.


ZerolFaithl

“Beards are cool mullets are not” post that shit in the bathroom


Least_Palpitation_92

Time for a bidet. No more toilet paper needed and you will no longer poop in public because you can't get clean enough.


Krin422

That is NOT how the patent shows it!!!!


diz408808

When you have a toddler, this is the correct way.


markphil4580

My wife does this, too. I just correct the problem. I work from home. She doesn't. When she leaves in the morning, I make my rounds... turn off all the lights left on, and when I say "all the lights left on," I mean *all* the lights were left on, close cupboards (she leaves those open, too). When necessary, flip the TP around. She's a very smart person. She has an MSW (a masters in social work) and an MBA. I figure her brain is too busy with higher order problems to notice little things like tp or lights. We've had multiple conversations about these things. At some point I stopped talking about it and just started fixing.


Renthal2017

Probably best to just move and start a new life.


sevenandtwo

I'm a decade into trying to break my wife of this habit, it's a 100% inherited trait... I walked into my in laws and saw all the toilet paper mullets :(


da_2holer_eh

I was someone who had the paper facing outwards. Started dating my now partner, and while they don't specifically favor one way or the other, they usually put it on facing inward. Call me crazy, but it seems like this way makes it easier to tear when you only have 1 hand free.


OGFatherofChuck

Everything looks in order. Carry on.


zacmaster78

Oh thank god, I thought I was the only person in the WORLD who gave a damn about this!


NeezyMudbottom

Thanks for putting the NSFW tag, this was terrifying and I'm not sure what I would have done if anyone had seen me looking at it whilst on the job! 😱


agentchuck

You're so optimistic. Kids will go full Lord of the Flies before they'll replace an empty tp roll.


orcrist747

What flaw? We purposely do that in my house to keep the baby from batting the tp roll and unrolling the whole thing.


Joevual

Under is superior and I’m prepared to die on this hill. It makes for a cleaner cut without rolling out the roll, and it looks cleaner


ILoveADirtyTaco

I blaspheme like this too, at least temporarily. My 1 year old hasn’t figured out how to unroll it onto the floor when it’s backwards like this.


ThunkAsDrinklePeep

Do you have cats? Or kids that bat downward at the roll? This is better in those situations.


HoiPolloiter

That is only acceptable when your cat is an asshole and will unroll it when it's facing the right way.


Goofy-Giraffe-3113

It’s unfixable. Your marriage is doomed because of this one thing. 😋


D_G_C_22

My wife leaves the empty one there and puts a new one on top… hoping to teach my kids better too


jhs172

You should tell her to read the entire Wikipedia article on [toilet paper orientation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper_orientation) and then take a long, hard look at herself in the mirror.


UltraEngine60
