[debm55]

3. What's a bidet?

[unblock]

4. Water sprays up.

Is there any debate about that?

[True Dough]

10. Don't tell me

you're one of those flat-Earthers!

[True Dough]

9. Pics,

or we won't believe you!

[True Dough]

13. You shouldn't have told me that

Now I feel shitty!

[True Dough]

15. Thanks!

Want to tango or fandango?

[True Dough]

19. Maybe

you should adjust the force of that bidet water then!

[True Dough]

21. Oh wow!

25. You and

[True Dough]

27. You even wear the safety goggles

when you're cleaning your posterior?

[debm55]

2. That's how we always did it.

[niyad]

5. Put it on the counter or shelf. End of problem.

8. I just experienced a Deja vu

Have we covered this before?? lol

6. My understanding

is the debate got started as other manufacturers stated making their own versions, and depending on which one you were using determined which the tp roll went. They wouldn't work if the tp roll was the other way.

11. Not if you have cats.

They would unroll that in a heartbeat.

35. Thank you! I completely agree!

And my cat loves to accompany anyone into the bathroom. When my uncle, who owned a building supply company, built his own house he had chrome covers that flipped down over the toilet paper rolls in his bathrooms. My aunt always had cats. And for my whole life, the toilet paper rolls were placed "under" anywhere my family lived.

16. I am definitely confused by the diagram.

Most of us may agree that the wall appears to be to the right of the roll. The confusion begins with whether the roll is being pictured from the toilet or toward the toilet? I just don't know where to go....

[Wonder Why]

17. When I open up a package of TP, I find that some of them are designed to go like you

said but others are either wound backwards or are designed for holders on the opposite wall. So I put a holder on each wall. When I pull out a roll and it's backwards, I simply put it on the opposite side. If that side already has a roll, I go outside to the nearest hill, unroll the roll then re-roll it the correct way. Has made my life so much easier.

I don't know why the rest of you are making such a big deal about it.

[Wounded Bear]

29. Yeah, I always hate having to go back to Home Depot...

to return that left handed monkey wrench I bought by mistake.

[Callie1979]

30. Trump does it backwards I'm sure.

[sinkingfeeling]

31. Always have mine that way.

[boonecreek]

32. I must be a weirdo

However it goes on the holder is fine with me.

[Emile]

33. My wife taught that to me during my first year of training.

34. As long as there is some...

…I don’t really care which way it’s placed.
