Ask A Bumps - Over/Under
Dear Bumps,
I have a question which has been nagging me and it seems when I ask my
fellow wipers they are divided as to the correct procedure. When
putting a new roll of toilet paper on the roller what is the proper
way to place it? Should it be ‘up and over’ or ‘down and under’? I
prefer ‘up and over’ and feel this is the correct way to place toilet
paper on the roll as it makes it an easier process for tearing off the
paper. Please shed some light on this subject for me.
Most Sincerely,
A Concerned Wiper
(aka ‘the real simon’)
Dear concerned wiper, simon:
Askabumps@gmail.com has always been of the opinion that over and up is the way to go and here is why: triangular folding. Yes, I like to pretend I live in a hotel so I fold the most recently freed end of toilet paper into a point. This is impossible to do with filthy, filthy down and under. Since concerned wiper’s house is as cool as living in a hotel, I would recommend up and over with the hotel fold. I will be over this weekend to inspect that you are doing this correctly.
Sincerely
Ask A Bumps
Folding the toilet paper is a nice touch, its a way of showcasing your skills and it makes your guest feel welcome. I found a site that shows other ways to fold your TP so you don’t get board looking at the same old folded edges. They call it Toilegami. My favorite is then one that looks like a potted plant.
