So, flap out (towards you) or in (towards the wall), which is it? And why (if there is one). Personally, I hang it out. My wife, however, usually hangs it in. I'm learning to compromise. I hang it out because I always have, not really for any other reason. In one of our bathrooms though, there is very little room between the wall and one's leg while sitting, and in seems to work a little better in that situation. Also, in seems to make it a little less likely that the cat will empty the entire roll onto the floor. Still though, I generally feel that in is somehow wrong.

Out. Easier to grab.

My wife does the same thing (hangs it in) I don't understand the hanging it in types.

that's so weird, what reasons for doing this do your wives give?

I don't think I've ever seen someone with their toilet paper hanging in any more than just occasionally. To me, leaving it over the top makes a lot more sense.

I don't make a big deal of it, if I see it and it happens to bug me that day, I just switch it around to how it should be. She doesn't seem to notice and really, it's a non issue |

Now that I think about it, the only people I know that hang it out are my grandparents.

Yes, I rock out, with my toilet paper out.

It depends for me. If the hanger is high off the ground with lots of space it goes around back.
However, if there is a garbage can underneath it, I will hang it over the front so that I get the maximum length before the tp gets to the garbage can. |

Always out. My wife doesn't care about these things so if she changes it, it's a crap shoot (so to speak). If I see it 'in', I change it immediately. Why? Who knows, but maybe it's because that's how it was when I was a kid. (Kind of like the Colgate or Crest households (Colgate).

I prefer out, but in the interest of keeping it on the roll I set it in if there are cats around.

Depends on where the holder is.
At my house, the holder is right next to me, and it works better if the paper is "out". In my parents' pre-renovated bathroom, the holder was behind you, on the wall next to the toilet's tank. It just plain worked better if the roll was "in". If it was the other way, it was more difficult to tear off a piece. Now they've got a holder that's a metal rod which holds the rolls vertically. We all know that toilet paper rolls are easiest to manage when you can hold them in your other hand, so this allows people to do that. |

In. Looks nicer. When it's out, it's like it just screams "Hey! I'm the toilet paper, look at me, grab me!! Wipe your ass!"
I prefer for the "yo, I'm here when you need me, bro" attitude a casually in-hanging toilet paper roll exudes. Kind of hidden, like the cool guy leaning back against the wall in the shadows. Not in your face, but he's there to clean up your mess if any shit goes down. |

Out - Because you can spin it in a downward motion, putting your hand in the right spot to grab the unspooled sqaures. Otherwise, I'm sure it'd take .5 seconds longer per wipe as you'd have to use two seperate motions.
On the other hand, I had a friend with a cat who used this justification: In - Because otherwise the cat would unspool the whole thing for daily entertainment. |

Out, obviously.
I always immediately notice when its in. But in my flat, we don't have a tp holder, so I just hold it in my other hand. |

I used to hang it in but then (I swear this is true) I read a study that said more women put the roll toward the wall (inside) and more men put the roll toward the outside. I was probably a teenager and immediately began hanging it to the outside just to ensure that I was a man. I've been doing it this way for so long that I don't even think about it BUT I have to say that I accidentally ran off about ten feet of tissue paper one time in the dark when someone else had hung the roll toward the inside... don't ask me how I did it. I cussed at how somebody had put the roll on "backwards".
I'm sure that the men vs. women poll is out there on the web and..... hey, this isn't some kind of psychology class experiment is it? |

...if you're right-handed. Actually, I take that back. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I'd have it clockwise... because if that big roll is sitting on the back of the tank, a person would get the tissue before sitting down. I'd use my right hand to lift the roll, and my left to pull out a length of tissue and tear it off. (Yeah, we definitely have a classy site going for us here, folks. ) |

Sad thing is that my dad was so fed up with getting more toilet paper that he wanted to buy one of those industrial toilet paper holder/dispenser.
