HOW DOES YOURS HANG?
The Toilet Paper War
According to my husband, I’m wrong.
Who gives a damn how the toilet paper is placed on its holder? All I care about is whether it is available and whether there is enough left on the roll when I need it.
I don’t care if the roll pulls from the top or the bottom. All I care about is whether it will. If you have ever been in a public restroom where the toilet paper in your stall refuses to release even an inch of its gigantic roll, you know exactly what I mean.
Before I met my husband, I placed the rolls on their holders without considering over or under pulls. Relatives, guests, and family who needed to extract a section or more of toilet tissue never complained or commented.
After I met my husband, I was schooled on the proper method of hanging paper goods, a task that, given my history of dealing with these rolls, was not appreciated.
What do you mean I put the paper towels on incorrectly? Who cares?
He did and does care; especially when I incorrectly, according to the gospel of Richard, my husband, placed the toilet paper on its spindle with an underneath-the-roll pull.
You can’t do that, Sal. The patent is clear.
