Toilet paper 'rolls' can hang either with the paper nearer the wall or farther from the wall.
What is your preferred toilet paper hanging style and is their an etiquette on something like this?

I hate to say it this way but anyone who puts theirs wall sided and not over the top and to the outside is of no interest to me. If you were my best friend and I came to your house and found it under and to the wall - I will drop you as I then know that you are not worthy of consideration and the friendship would lead to disaster. The way you hang the paper says more about you psychologically that any other one thing.

What an interesting topic. My sister and I have argued forever about which direction to hang the tp!
I say it should be coming at you on top of the roll, and over the front. My sister says it should hang from the back and straight down.
My way just seems more convenient.
By the way, the best type of tp hanger for all of us who detest putting a new roll on the hanger thing - It is shaped like a U.
You just attach one side of the U to the wall and the other side is just open so all you do is slip the roll over it when it needs to be replaced. One of the best inventions I ever saw! Every now and then you can find them for $1.
What a life!

TP should ALWAYS be hung with the end coming over the top of the roll and hanging doan AWAY from the wall!
What's wrong with all you people who like it against the wall so everyone who needs to wipe has to touch the whole thing and spin the roll around and search for the end??! DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!
One of my husband's friends thinks it's funny to reverse the roll in my bathroom every time he goes at our house....I told him I'd kick him out and never let him back in if he keeps doing it!

Over the top. So it hangs down nearest to your hand. That's what I was taught in food safety. Otherwise germ-y hands are trying to fish around under the roll for the loose end of the paper.

It seems to me that more Europeans turn the paper to face the wall; I prefer the paper facing out and like to do a nice little "fold" at the bottom/beginning like they do in many hotels!

Farther from the wall, is how my mother educated me to do it and prefer it now after 25 years.

It's got to hang from the outer side....i don't know why it just does! It's so stupid but it really bothers me if it is not.....but since I do 99% of the paper changing I don't have to worry about it being placed on wrong.

Paper facing you rolling away from the wall, you can see where the seem is.

I prefer to hang ours away from the wall. It's easier to grasp and it leaves the next sheet hangin loose. Ettiquette? Maybe, I believe it's more sanitary.
