Conversation doesn't always have to be deep and erudite to be thought-provoking and entertaining. Coffee shop conversation with the girls covers myriad subjects, particularly relating to the mundane, and OCD stories always raise laughs that exercise the stomach muscles.
Talk turned to toilet tissue and the ongoing debate as to which way it should be placed on the holder. It seems to be a matter of personal preference as to whether it unrolls from the back or the front, but the overwhelming conclusion we came to was that most domestic disagreements stem from this most minor of matters. In our household we don't have this problem, as we all appear to be too lazy to actually replace the empty roll and just balance the new one on top. There is debate over whether it should be balanced horizontally or vertically, but we do agree that at least one third should be unwound before said exercise. This is not difficult, as toilet paper disappears before our eyes in this house.
I think the solution to all of these problems is to ditch the roller and just leave it on the cistern. Or have a dowel attached to the wall at a 90-degree angle so that there is no effort involved in unrolling in the preferred direction and especially when it comes to whose turn it is to put the new one on.
