As far as I know, there has been a running debate since the invention of toilet paper. Or maybe since the invention of the spool on which the toilet paper is hung. Does the loose end fall over the top, or hang down the back?
My wife and I disagree about this -- as, I suspect, do many couples. We have two bathrooms in our house, and I typically utilize one while she typically utilizes the other. And the toilet paper is hung differently in each.
So, as I was in the bathroom in my hotel room, something suddenly occurred to me. The answer has been hidden in plain site in hotel bathrooms ever since they have been folding the ends of the roll into the neat triangular wedges! That pattern does not work if the loose end was hanging down off the back of the roll! Only when the loose end falls over the top of the roll can the triangular-wedge pattern work.
And so the mystery is solved. Toilet paper should be hung so that the loose end falls over the top of the roll. That is the correct way to do it ... since hotel maids have been well-trained in the art of folding the loose end of the toilet paper in its proper placement.
Yes, dear, I've been right all along.
