How it should be: the sheet of toilet paper

On New Year's Eve, I ended up in the bathroom of a friend who thought it was funny to hang up black toilet paper. I exclaimed in shock how it was supposed to work with number two, but apparently there was a white roll ready as a backup. Thought about it. Just like everything around the toilet roll; let me update you on how it should be.

The saying ‘whoever is left with the last sheet, whoever comes after me will manage’ applies from the last five sheets on the roll. Everyone knows (or at least women do) that it is utterly impossible to wipe with just one sheet. So don't be the terrorist who leaves the next person hanging. Literally. Without toilet paper.

Then there's the issue of how the roll should hang. I am the person who turns the roll around if the unwinding doesn't start from the top. It's mainly men who particularly get annoyed by this. Who are those people who dare to let the sheet dangle from the bottom? Now, it's an option to have a discussion with me about how it really doesn't matter and there's not one right way, but that's factually incorrect. From the patent application of Owen Wilsen, yes, the man behind the toilet roll holder, it appears that the sheet of the roll should indeed hang from the top.

By the way, it has advantages, because if the toilet roll is hung this way, you have the most space to unwind. Ever pulled too hard on a sheet of toilet paper that was hung the wrong way? There's no natural stop on that, it keeps unwinding itself. It also seems that you hurt yourself less quickly with the start of the roll on top. Never noticed, but I believe everything that advocates my case.

Finally, I want to point out those toilet paper cassettes that only give one sheet per tear. Because that might be even more annoying than it not hanging from the top.
