If I see it in the A position, I change it. Drives me nuts when the first square isn't right in front.

B motherfuckers. For the love of god, B.

I'm not going to contrive some sort of ridiculous justification for B, because the fact that it is the best way really is a matter of principle. Just know that I don't use the term fact lightly here.

Tully Mars

My preference is within in reach, other then that don't care.

I prefer B, but A generally prevents cats and toddlers from unspooling the roll for fun.

The real debate is:

A: One Fold 'em, One Wipe 'em

B: Scruncher

I second that, Tully. The inconvenient placement of the roll-holder in my apartment pretty much ensures that we go Route C: The Free Roll aka Commando.

B. There is no debate.

For those of you who consciously look at the roll to determine which side you want the paper to unroll on:

You need to go outside.

Go...now.

It's infintely more easy to unroll, especially when in a rush.

This is not the great debate. It is too one sided to be the great debate. B is the obvious answer.

pig

A, all the way. The presence of the roll in that configuration gives leverage to get a superior one-handed tear. With B, you go for the quick tear and you get half the roll...what's wrong with you people?

Not enough options...

Also need...

C) free roll, no holder (my preference)
D) warsh-rag on a stick

Shit, I voted A by mistake!

Part II of the debate... soft, quilty and plushy, or thin and scratchy? (It may seem like a no brainer but each has its virtues.)

And does anybody use stuff in any color other than white anymore, or is that just my mom?

B, by the way. It's a rule in this house.

Proper wrist technique allows the quick tear in configuation B. With A, it's all but impossible to tear off more than one sheet at a time, unless you roll with one hand and tear with the other.

ngdawg

In all my centuries on earth that has never happened. Just how hard have you yanked that thing?
The configuration of A, on the other hand, forces one many times to feel around for the first square, wasting valuable time.

pig, I now know that my dreams of us retiring together in platonic, domestic bliss can never come true.

Better sooner than later.

Plan9

Yeah, I was so let down by this thread. I was imagining all sorts of hetero life partner action and then... the shit paper issue came up and I was devastated.

You're breaking my heart filthy...we could always have dual rolls mounted in the head...the wrong one for you, the right one for me.

Regardless, I've stated my case. Now it's time to put theory to practice. I love Sunday mornings...

Hear, hear, although I do have to give props to whoever changed the roll instead of being a lazy ass and letting it sit on top of the toilet, creating the possibility of an accidental drop into the bowl or even worse, the uncomfortable reach-behind position for the next unsuspecting visitor.

B. Only because if it's A then my cat sees something hanging down and wants to play and I end up with a roll of TP all over the floor. With B you can leave it hugging the roll easier.

Unless you yank the paper like you're trying to start a lawnmower, I haven't found this to be a concern.

Unfortunately, my life has been deprived to the point where we don't even have a dispenser. We're free and clear, so to speak.

Such practice brings with it new problems: Dropping the roll and having the momentum cause it to roll under the tub, leaving a trail of white paper all the while.
