Forget the whole toilet seat up or down argument for a second.
There’s a far more serious issue dividing households up and down the country…
Which way should the toilet roll face?
You’ve got two camps:
Camp 1:
Flap Away From the Wall
Apparently:
- it’s “more hygienic”
- it doesn’t brush the wall
- it’s the official way (according to someone, somewhere)
Fair enough.
Camp 2:
Flap Against the Wall
This is where I’m at.
Why?
Because when the flap’s against the wall:
- you can pull more than one square in one go
- it doesn’t spin like a fruit machine
- and if you’re a bit heavy-handed, you don’t end up ripping off one lonely square by mistake
Nothing worse than:
pull → rip → sigh → pull again
Like some sort of survival challenge.
And yes, this has caused actual arguments.
Real ones.
With words like “why do you keep changing it?” and “because your way is stupid” being exchanged.
So let’s settle it properly.
👉 Flap towards the wall
👉 Or flap away from the wall
Never mind what’s “correct”.
Which way do you do it… and why?
