The Correct Way to hang Toilet Paper

Toilet paper is a subject for which many people have a strong opinion. We have to use it all the time, so it kinda makes sense that people would have a strong opinion. For years, those who hang it to the front and those who hang it to the back have debated over which is the "correct" way to hang toilet paper. Good news! I have the answer that will end this heated debate!

Those in the "To the Front" camp are concerned with ease. It's so much easier to rip off a sheet of toilet paper without letting it trail all the way to the floor when the toilet paper is hanging to the front. So for a good portion of the population, to the front is the correct way to hang the toilet paper.

Those in the "to the back" camp are concerned with the toilet paper being played with and wasted on the floor. If you have pets or children, there is a good chance they will see front-hanging toilet paper as a free-for-all. So, for those with pets or children, to the back is the correct way to hang the toilet paper.

Further, most people grew up in a household with the toilet paper hanging to the back, because they grew up in a household with children, and usually pets as well. Therefore, most people are used to having to deal with tearing the paper when it is hung to the back. Thus, it's probably best if the world hangs their toilet paper to the back so that people don't get too used to the easy way to tear it and throw a fit when they visit friends with pets or children.

So the correct way to hang toilet paper is to the back, because that keeps the kids and pets out of it, and helps those who visit people with kids and/or pets will have to get used to it.

See, isn't that easy?

Personally, I don't really care about being correct in instances of opinion, so I'll continue hanging my toilet paper to the front, and grumble to myself when I visit family and friends. After all, they're doing it right :P
