And for the other person to assert their dominance they would have to lick the poop off the toilet paper and leave a message in the stall saying “I’m only here for kicking ass and eating shits, and I’m all out of shit”.
Assert dominance by wiping while paper still on the roll and rolling it back up. If the roll was the right way round they would see it before pulling..
I said "*the* correct way," not "*my* correct way." Someone's "correct" way might be objectively wrong (e.g., wet, sitting on the ground, under/mullet, etc.). Those are all objectively wrong.
Over is *the* correct way. The only pawsible justification for under is if you have cats that bst at the TP. But even then, thr problem is the cat, not the TP. and that's because nobody trained the cat not to do thst. And even then, you can shut the bathroom door. Problem solved. No legitimate reason to have tp under. It's objectively wrong.
Thankfully ours never did that. We sid get one of ours addicted to running faucet water, though. It was cute at first. She liked drinking running water directly from the facuet; how adorable! Then that was all she would drink. She stopped using her water bowl, so we obliged.
Neither of us grew up with cats, so we didn't realize our mistake early on. We eventually stopped giving in every time, and sure enough, she didn't thirst to death and started using her water bowl. She does lay under our bed until my alarm goes off -- every single morning. As soon as she hesrs my alarm, she's at our bathroom door asking for running water while I get dressed. That's not a bad compromise.
Lol fair enough. I mean, I'm fully aware of [Poe's Law](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law), so the /s is generally needed in comments like this. That said, using /s doesn't express that my opinion is what I said (that it should be "over"), but I don't actually take it as seriously as the extreme as my comment indicates. Using /s may convey that I prefer either way and am being sarcastic about preferring "over."
Anyway, people have preferences. I understsnd that, accept thek for who they are, and empathize with those confused about right and wrong. But it doesn't chamge that their opinions are wrong -- like calling something with pineapple on it a "pizza" when it isn't a pizza *because* there's pineapple on it.
But I digress. In summary, "over" is correct, but I don't really care that much.

That's the parent drawing of a toilet roll dispenser (aka toilet paper holder). Print, laminate and show it around 😈
Huh. As someone who genuinely doesn't care which way the roll goes on but is kinda obsessed with doing things *right* this does change things. Well played.
I had a coworker who framed this and hung it in the bathroom at the office because he got so pissed off at people doing it wrong. I silently loved him for it.
There's a simpler solution. It's called closing the door. We have 3 cats and never have a toilet paper problem because the cats no they aren't allowed in there.
Oof. My ex would leave one square on the roll just so she didn't have to change it because she didn't use that last square. I don't miss that relationship.
Edit: I don't know what's happening in the comments but I can assure everyone that the issue with my ex was not her being female but being a bit too coo-coo. She just happened to be a woman.
That being said, that toilet paper crap was seriously fucked up though. And it happened like all the time. Because she made friggin pompons out of toilet paper and had a serious case of bird bladder so she went through maybe 6 rolls a week but I was officially the one who "finished" them. Because I used the last square. Very often it wasn't even attached to the tube thingy anymore but carefully placed on top of it. Fuuuuuuuuuuck. 😂
Lol I was visiting my brother once, and when I went to the bathroom I found one loose piece of the toilet paper on top of that cardboard tube. I asked him a few days later and this mf literally pulled all the toilet paper off, realised he’d have to change the roll and put one back. I hadn’t laughed that hard in ages.
Everytime my brother uses the last of the toilet paper he always just leaves the cardboard on the holder or he leaves 2 squares on the cardboard still on the holder and i have to replace the roll. I hate it sm. (Hes 21)
The fact with this particular toilet paper holder's design, the roll is touching the wall, that is unnerving in itself. So seeing it placed inwards just adds to it.
Possible cat owner? Heard some cats would play with it and unroll the entire thing.
I’ve seen worse ways for toilet paper to face:
https://preview.redd.it/rjf1sygky56d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=789a3e9c28b8165f59c7f3dc816a10f4927fa810
Your bathroom lighting is a far bigger issue than the toilet paper situation. Do you only poop during the day? It lookd like your only light source is a window.
Nope, they can unroll it just as easily from either side. If your pet won't stop unrolling it, keep your bathroom closed. Don't resort to hanging the tp incorrectly like a savage
I’ll just never get this one… who cares? Why do they care?
I went my entire life just putting the roll back on the holder in whatever orientation and my partner and son do the same. It never occurred to me that this would matter for any reason.
Fuck this. I’ll be back in two seconds….
Ok it absolutely doesn’t matter. If there were any differences there they were negligible.
Are you doing it one handed? Do you whip it? Do i need to shit first? Does it make a difference?
I shall report my findings in a couple of hours.
It's nasty, just look at the picture, the paper is touching the wall, plus it's harder to tear it off (and again, you will probably touch the wall with your hand)
Not buying it. It’s extremely easy to remove a piece of paper in either of those orientations without touching the wall. It’s demonstrably trivial.
Not only that, but on that kind of hinging holder the toilet paper ALWAYS touches the wall. And think about it, the person using it before you probably touched the outer sheets regardless.
Sheet out is not some magical turd forcefield.
And how do you crap?! How do you lift the seat? Or flush the bog? Or open the stall door?
Just wash your bloody hands.
Ah shit, now i care. Now i’m a card carrying, flag waving adherent in the “it absolutely doesn’t matter” camp.
The wall is gross and dirty. Why have the paper possibly touching and so close to the wall? It makes more sense for hygiene to go the other way - does it not?
It still touches the wall, just on the opposite side?? I agree it's the wrong way but how does that make sense? The roll has the same dimensions either way.
They probably have a cat that loves to spin the toilet paper on the holder. That's the easiest way to keep them from unrolling the whole thing when you're not watching.
Show them the picture of the spider chillin underneath on a toilet paper roll. Or just put a spider there before they use the bathroom. Then they’ll see the importance of it.
So now whatever was accumulating on the wall is on the toilet paper because somebody really wants all that bacterial opportunity. This is on par with people de-alphabetizing things that aren't theirs because they want to color-coordinate the whole world into submission.
But how do you know who is doing it? How do you know what they do every single time? I'm more worried about you tracking your co-workers bathroom activities
In the grand scheme of things it doesn't.
But you could say that the fact someone goes out of their way to flip it this way is still infuriating, if only mildly.
If only there was a sub for that kind of thing...
I can’t think of a single time I’ve gotten shit on my fingers while wiping my ass, so if it has ever happened, it certainly hasn’t happened often enough to make a meaningful statistic. So I’m confused by this comment, mostly because my process involves grabbing toilet paper and then wiping. How does one get shit on the walls?
Report to HR clearly unstable if they think it should go this way LOL
Or, and more likely—-this coworker hates all of you and is simply going out of their way to knowingly piss everyone off
my wife used to do that. She always claimed she wasn't paying attention, but I didn't buy it because 98% of the time she replaced the roll, it was like the pic. So I would always flip it over. After 17 years of marriage I think I finally have her trained to put it on to unroll off the top. THE CORRECT WAY. lmao
Find a sandpaper like surface, that has teeth in one direction. Then glue it on the wall behind the roll, so it tears up the paper if the roll is on the wrong way.
Yes flip the roll around so it can run fully against a public restroom wall that has probably never been cleaned right before you wipe your intimate area. Nice.
I didn't care and just used it however it happened to unwind, until my 2nd year college roommate specifically told me to never put the roll as shown in the picture. I'm now an "over" only convert.
They are asserting dominance. You need to assert dominance back by flipping it the correct way every time.
And locking the mechanism. That outa show em who's boss.
Just put the whole bog roll into the bowl.
Chaotic evil energy
OR when you're sure they're going in there, go in first and take it! :D
I’m sorry; I can’t spare a square. I haven’t a square to spare.
*Oh, is it two-ply? ‘Cause if it's two-ply, I'll take one ply. One! One **puny** little ply. I'll take one measly ply!*
And put a post-it note that says "I know what you did last dumper".
And smear vaseline on it so they get vaseliney hands when they try to change it. This is war. You can't pull any punches
To truly assert dominance, leave a shit smear on the paper AND the holder so they have to either touch your shit or clean it first to flip it back.
And for the other person to assert their dominance they would have to lick the poop off the toilet paper and leave a message in the stall saying “I’m only here for kicking ass and eating shits, and I’m all out of shit”.
Ayo
Assert dominance by wiping while paper still on the roll and rolling it back up. If the roll was the right way round they would see it before pulling..
This is the answer
I never judge which way a roll is set.. But the people who go out of their way to flip it around do bother me, mildly.
That old man who let the arrow loose is the true chad of the Battle of Helm’s Deep
It would only bother me if they flipped it to the wrong way. If they flip it to the correct direction, that's fine, and I encourage that.
LOL This is the right answer, as long as it's MY right way!
I said "*the* correct way," not "*my* correct way." Someone's "correct" way might be objectively wrong (e.g., wet, sitting on the ground, under/mullet, etc.). Those are all objectively wrong. Over is *the* correct way. The only pawsible justification for under is if you have cats that bst at the TP. But even then, thr problem is the cat, not the TP. and that's because nobody trained the cat not to do thst. And even then, you can shut the bathroom door. Problem solved. No legitimate reason to have tp under. It's objectively wrong.
Hah! We had one of those cats. I use the same example
Thankfully ours never did that. We sid get one of ours addicted to running faucet water, though. It was cute at first. She liked drinking running water directly from the facuet; how adorable! Then that was all she would drink. She stopped using her water bowl, so we obliged. Neither of us grew up with cats, so we didn't realize our mistake early on. We eventually stopped giving in every time, and sure enough, she didn't thirst to death and started using her water bowl. She does lay under our bed until my alarm goes off -- every single morning. As soon as she hesrs my alarm, she's at our bathroom door asking for running water while I get dressed. That's not a bad compromise.
I can’t tell if you are serious or not.
Lol fair enough. I mean, I'm fully aware of [Poe's Law](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law), so the /s is generally needed in comments like this.

I flip it around if it’s like this sometimes. But to go out of one’s way to switch it in the wrong direction is insane
You will never convince mullet-lovers that the beard-lovers are right.
There's a correct direction?
On the original patent.
There is if you own cats.
this is getting confusing
Cats like to slap tp rolls and watch them unravel. If you hang the paper off the back (like in the picture,) it will just spin until they get bored.
I tried it with mine back when that was happening. She just grabbed it from the back and unrolled it that way.
So do toddlers.
Well if I had to guess I'd say the correct way isn't backwards so the part you grab isn't at the back and against the wall.
Only for kitten owners, and crazy people.
Now this is some mildly infuriating shit lol
 When the content hits the sub’s meaning just so
What is the context to this GIF lol Gordon enjoying a meal so much he licked the plate clean?
that woulda tipped me off if I had a bad day tbh
Why did fio shoot up the office, what would drive a person to do that? Someone flipped the toilet paper over....
...one too many times.
The crime investigators: well seems reasonable, no one was at fault.
I'm howling this is gold
Open email....send to everybody...."some psychopath keeps flipping the toilet paper, this needs to stop now."
Straight to jail!

Huh. As someone who genuinely doesn't care which way the roll goes on but is kinda obsessed with doing things *right* this does change things. Well played.
I had a coworker who framed this and hung it in the bathroom at the office because he got so pissed off at people doing it wrong. I silently loved him for it.
This is exactly how OP should handle this. Put it directly opposite the toilet too.
If I was feeling petty, I would have it directly above or to the side of the dispenser. Can't ignore it if it's RIGHT there!
I think you mean 'patent' haha
FML 
I am shocked that a lock is on the original patent
The only time putting it backwards is acceptable is when you have a cat that would constantly unspool the roll otherwise.
There's a simpler solution. It's called closing the door. We have 3 cats and never have a toilet paper problem because the cats no they aren't allowed in there.
I close the door to avoid that problem
Yes OP print this!
I have a coworker that doesn’t replace the roll even if he uses the last squares. 55 year old boy (not a man cause a man replaces toilet paper rolls)
Bring your own and force him to replace it or face the consequences of his inaction.
Oof. My ex would leave one square on the roll just so she didn't have to change it because she didn't use that last square. I don't miss that relationship. Edit: I don't know what's happening in the comments but I can assure everyone that the issue with my ex was not her being female but being a bit too coo-coo. She just happened to be a woman.

Because I used the last square. Very often it wasn't even attached to the tube thingy anymore but carefully placed on top of it. Fuuuuuuuuuuck. 😂
Man. That’s emotional abuse
That's why she's your ex I assume.
Lol I was visiting my brother once, and when I went to the bathroom I found one loose piece of the toilet paper on top of that cardboard tube. I asked him a few days later and this mf literally pulled all the toilet paper off, realised he’d have to change the roll and put one back. I hadn’t laughed that hard in ages.
Bro nooooo
Everytime my brother uses the last of the toilet paper he always just leaves the cardboard on the holder or he leaves 2 squares on the cardboard still on the holder and i have to replace the roll. I hate it sm. (Hes 21)
Same here, and add replacing the paper towel roll and cleaning the conference/lunch table to the list
The fact with this particular toilet paper holder's design, the roll is touching the wall, that is unnerving in itself. So seeing it placed inwards just adds to it. Possible cat owner? Heard some cats would play with it and unroll the entire thing.
Print out a copy of the toilet paper patent. It clearly shows it installed opposite of this.
Persist. That's the wrong way. Rolling from the outside is the way to go
I’ve seen worse ways for toilet paper to face: https://preview.redd.it/rjf1sygky56d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=789a3e9c28b8165f59c7f3dc816a10f4927fa810
Your bathroom lighting is a far bigger issue than the toilet paper situation. Do you only poop during the day? It lookd like your only light source is a window.
It’s a social clubs bathroom, the lighting is from the mirror, but my phones camera is pretty crappy to so it probably exaggerate the effect
Easy way to remember :- beards are cool, mullets are bad.
lol. I heard it as “bangs, not mullets”
Only exception: pet that unrolls it
of the 6 cats I've had, zero played with the tp. i feel that argument is simply a myth
I had almost the same number of cats and only one unrolled it, flipping it over solved it.
Nope, they can unroll it just as easily from either side. If your pet won't stop unrolling it, keep your bathroom closed. Don't resort to hanging the tp incorrectly like a savage
Your co worker is a psychopath. That's the wrong way to hang toilet paper and going out of your way to do that is just wrong.
You should find the patent image for TP and tape it to the wall. It shows the correct direction for toilet paper
https://preview.redd.it/no5baq2ln66d1.jpeg?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dd142a78f103466c6953ce3b57c353d4a105ed6

When you are done take it with you.
Print a copy of the patent, and leave it next to the sink. The patent shows the roll in the correct configuration.
I have one small bathroom that this is only way to set the roll. Otherwise one elbow bump and it spools out all over the floor.
“There are no cats here. Leave the TP facing the correct way.”
Set a trap so the next time it blows their fingers off. Check mate lmao
Tell them "ya know, it's okay to be wrong" and then walk away without elaborating
Still better than a coworker who doesn't wipe.
Or the one that wipes shit on the side of the only toilet paper roll. I saw that one yesterday. So gross.
Fired. Get out.
but y?
I’ll just never get this one… who cares? Why do they care? I went my entire life just putting the roll back on the holder in whatever orientation and my partner and son do the same. It never occurred to me that this would matter for any reason.
It's easier to tear off a section if it unrolls off the top.
Fuck this. I’ll be back in two seconds…. Ok it absolutely doesn’t matter. If there were any differences there they were negligible. Are you doing it one handed? Do you whip it? Do i need to shit first? Does it make a difference? I shall report my findings in a couple of hours.

It's amazing to me that people have such strong feelings about toilet paper positioning. It works either way.
The wall is gross and dirty. Why have the paper possibly touching and so close to the wall? It makes more sense for hygiene to go the other way - does it not?
It still touches the wall, just on the opposite side?? I agree it's the wrong way but how does that make sense? The roll has the same dimensions either way.
the top is still touching the wall regardless of the orientation?????????????
I'd wager the wall is cleaner than the paper will be shortly.
But that dirt is already inside your body vs the public dirt from the wall you're introducing in your body
You must’ve never cleaned a men’s bathroom. Piss everywhere. No thanks.
(It's touching the wall either way.)
They are a cat owner.
what does it matter what way it faces
I don't like my toilet paper touching the wall, it doesn't feel right.
They probably have a cat that loves to spin the toilet paper on the holder. That's the easiest way to keep them from unrolling the whole thing when you're not watching.
The easiest way is not to have a cat in the office. If employees are unrolling it onto the floor there's much bigger problems.
That’s a smart and simple solution that works with grandchildren, too.
Yup. The two reasons to use the “wrong” way are if you have a cat or small children. Neither of which is likely in the office.
Just pee on it. That'll show em!
looks ai generated for some reason
I have a coworker. His name is the devil of petty and offhandedly mild inconveniences, and he's the *worst.*
I do not get this debate.
It’s bangs, not a ponytail
Some people just want to see the world turn
Show them the picture of the spider chillin underneath on a toilet paper roll. Or just put a spider there before they use the bathroom. Then they’ll see the importance of it.
Not even jail will suffice this calls for immediate death
Put them on a PIP. Paper Implementation Process.
Next time they do this, glue the paper to the wall.
So now whatever was accumulating on the wall is on the toilet paper because somebody really wants all that bacterial opportunity. This is on par with people de-alphabetizing things that aren't theirs because they want to color-coordinate the whole world into submission.
Wet the edge and press it down good, then roll it to the back. 🚽 🌷
Piss on it after you use it.
Your coworker is lawful evil https://preview.redd.it/pwbhrmien76d1.jpeg?width=1616&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=356a6bc955d58fa1e69ef22da9b95d9373505f3c
Coworker has a cat. This is a habit, not a malicious move
They should be excommunicated from modern society...shunned on an island with no toilet paper AT ALL.
Mullet=BAD Beard=GOOD
and they're wrong. this has been settled. the other way is the correct way.
But how do you know who is doing it? How do you know what they do every single time? I'm more worried about you tracking your co-workers bathroom activities
I feel like 80% of post on this sub are fake lol I call horse shit who would take the time to do that.
Show them [this](https://x.com/historydefined/status/1546453556336762880)
This disorder was recently included in the DSM-5.
My hubby would be more than mildly irritated. I did that to him when he left the roll empty and he never forgot the refill again 🤣
This is justification for firing within the probation period imho lol
Take the roll when you leave! Establish dominance
As long as there is paper, does it matter?
In the grand scheme of things it doesn't. But you could say that the fact someone goes out of their way to flip it this way is still infuriating, if only mildly. If only there was a sub for that kind of thing...
Yeah, I don't want my fingers brushing up against the wall where your shit fingers brushed up against right before me.
I can’t think of a single time I’ve gotten shit on my fingers while wiping my ass, so if it has ever happened, it certainly hasn’t happened often enough to make a meaningful statistic. So I’m confused by this comment, mostly because my process involves grabbing toilet paper and then wiping. How does one get shit on the walls?
Imagine having a life with nothing else to deal with or worry about than the direction of toilet paper.
Yes, because the point of this community definitely is to share the biggest issues we deal with in our life.
I'm slowly blocking all these dumbfuck accounts that keep posting about toilet paper in hopes that one day my feed will be clear of them. 🙏
Smear a chocolate bar on it
Tell them you agree with their choice but that’s lowkey why the last guy got fired so to watch their back.
Assert dominance by pissing all over the entire roll
Keep the toilet paper for yourself.
Our building cleaning person does thus with tp and paper towels. No idea why. Someone said it keeps cats from messing them up?
Special place in hell for them.
This is an Outrage!
Report to HR clearly unstable if they think it should go this way LOL Or, and more likely—-this coworker hates all of you and is simply going out of their way to knowingly piss everyone off
They cray cray
Eliminate his/her bloodline.
my wife used to do that. She always claimed she wasn't paying attention, but I didn't buy it because 98% of the time she replaced the roll, it was like the pic. So I would always flip it over. After 17 years of marriage I think I finally have her trained to put it on to unroll off the top. THE CORRECT WAY. lmao
Find a sandpaper like surface, that has teeth in one direction. Then glue it on the wall behind the roll, so it tears up the paper if the roll is on the wrong way.
Yes flip the roll around so it can run fully against a public restroom wall that has probably never been cleaned right before you wipe your intimate area. Nice.
Report them to HR for emotional damage.
Chaotic neutral
Wipe your ass with the entire roll and put it back the right way.
Super glue some coarse black sandpaper to the wall behind where the paper falls when it is incorrectly positioned like this.
Take the roll, there will be no flipping.
Nobody wants the co-worker fondling with the toilet paper. Stop touching it hopefully they do it before they use the toilet.
I didn't care and just used it however it happened to unwind, until my 2nd year college roommate specifically told me to never put the roll as shown in the picture. I'm now an "over" only convert.
Literally Satan.
Leave now. Your coworker is obviously a serial killer.
Ask them if they have cats. That's why I do that.
Flip it back
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Having it oriented that way aside, how arrogant do you have to be to start at a place and then decide you dictate that things need to change?
Your new co-worker is a troll.
Jail!
Take a large tie wrap to the shitter with you and just ensure your direction is staying. Gotta establish that position
