The people who say A probably also wipe back to front.
Angela said...: Sunday, 22 February, 2009; A is definitely better in a feline household. I know from experience. I still miss that lost, double-roll softie...

However, for me, A or B... doesn't matter. As long as I don't have to crabwalk, pants down around my ankles, to dig a used tissue out of my purse, I'm OK, either way.

Parax said...: Monday, 23 February, 2009; B every time!
Anonymous said...: Monday, 23 February, 2009; A is Daft!
Reasons:

1) You cant find the end when its closest to the wall. (falls behind unseen)

2) You end up rubbing dirty hands/fingers on the wall! (should be presented clearly away from obstacles)

3) You cant neatly fold it to a point! (what will your friend think?)

B is the Winner EVERY TIME!
Katie said...: Monday, 23 February, 2009; Depends.

If the roll is unencumbered in any way (generally in a private home), then B.

If, however, the roll is in some sort of plastic/metal distributor/holder OR has another roll sitting on top of it, then A, because that allows the roll to actually lift and roll more easily, thus enabling one to pull a reasonable amount from it, rather than having it rip off in little pieces bit by frigging bit as one attempts to acquire it. I despise places which install it in the B position and then place other rolls on top of it. DESPISE.

Stirling said...: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009; A if you have young ids or a puppy or young cat who would love to reach a hand up to unravel the whole roll. B for every other situation just because its easier.

B!!!
Anonymous said...: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009; A is the proper way. If you recall an early episode of Who's the Boss, it will be confirmed that B is the improper over-hand method. Any show with Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano can't be wrong.
Anonymous said...: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009; I once was an A as a child because I thought it was more Aesthetically pleasing that the hang-down was close to the wall.

Now I am 30+ years older I find it's just easier to grab the B hang-down.

So B.

Anonymous said...: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009; Who actually finds the one-hand rip easier with A? It's so much easier with B, you end up pulling the roll down either way with improper technique, but with B you have more room to pull it directly sideways. With A it is more awkward, especially if the roll is not on the side you are oriented toward (i.e. right-handed vs. left-handed)
Anonymous said...: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009; A, A, a million times A.

It's easier to pull it towards you. Whenever it's B I end up yanking at it uselessly and half the roll comes undone.
Anonymous said...: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009; Before AOL existed in the years of Compuserve, I read a book that mentioned this. In 1870's - 1900's (can't remember the exact date) when toilet paper was first sold in U.S. General stores, this was a common debate then. So TP companies started including instructions on the paper wrapping showing diagram B. So I am afraid that B is the Correct answer according to the manufacturer!
Unknown said...: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009; A, because in B you usually end up unrolling way more TP than you need, plus because with B my cat always pulls off the whole roll because it's easy.
