Where to position a toilet roll holder

2 stroke

I've a little bit of a dilemma and I thought the experts here might be able to help out. We've just added an unsuite to the guest room and its at the stage of adding the assesories, mirrors, soap dish, towel holders, ect. Our dilemma, which side to put the toilet roll holder at. Both walls are equal distance from the throne and there are no waterpipes or wires to worry about hitting. The debate is simply right or left. Its something I never thought about before but it seems different people use different hands to wipe with.
Your input please.

Good old Friday nght drunk threads.

Wow, thats my the first time in my life I've ever had to consciously think about which hand I wipe with.

I vote Left hand side. After doing a few, er, "simulations" here at my desk I think it would be easier to reach for right-handed wipers - your hand would more easily and naturally reach to the left instead of folding it in tightly to reach to something just to you right.

Best thread ever, btw.

Most people are righties so have it to the right side. Also I'm pretty new to boards and was wondering why in a lots of poll options are atari jag...WHY??

funktastic

Always my right hand. And I wipe sitting down.

I can see it now. The "Which hand do you wipe with" thread. Another AH classic.


The left hand side is the way to go for the roller.

Put one on each side, for emergencies.

I had one earlier, but nobody needed to know that.

I don't know the answer myself. but polls seem to get a better response if you include A.J My first time posting a poll. It was remarkably easy to set up considering the ammount of drink i've taken. Full marks Terry.

I'm not one of these wipe-while-sitting-down guys. I'm a stander. Thus for me it's a big Atari Jaguar; it makes no difference as I can face the toilet or face away for optimal location.

Left hand wall. If your right-handed, it can be awkward getting it from the right wall if it's too close. It's actually easier to reach your right arm across to the left wall.

When removing the required amount of roll, I hold the roll with the nearest hand (to stop it rolling) and tear with the other. So if the roll were on the right, the paper would end in my left hand.

But since I then proceed to go through an elaborate paper folding routine before use it doesn't really matter which side.

Which leads to another important question - do you fold or scrunch your paper before use?

Paper!!!! What paper?

With proper diet she should exit like the proverbial"Four man bob" and dive gracefully into the water."Nothing but net" is the phrase I'd use.

Quick tightning of the sphinct,to crimp off any loose chads.. Bobs yer uncle!!

You have no idea the effort it took to stop my imagination from picturing that scene.

I think it may be handy to keep a few sick bags within reach of my computer for bog related threads.
