How many fights have you gotten in over toilet paper? Specifically when it comes to the direction you put your toilet paper. Are you an Over or Under household. Well, there is officially a correct answer.
According to an etiquette expert Jackie Vernon-Thompson revealed there are reasons this is the correct way:
- It's more hygienic- Jackie says, quote, "If the paper is over when you reach for the paper, your fingers will touch only the piece that you plan to use and flush," instead of having to search for the end and touching other pieces of TP which will spread bacteria and germs.
- The inventor, Seth Wheeler, showed the correct way to hang TP in a diagram for the patent in 1891.
