I care, though I sort of chalk it up to OCD. For one, it just makes so much more sense to me to have it going over. It’s easier to find the end, easier to roll back up if it’s pulled down too much, and then there’s the whole end hanging against the wall thing. Growing up, it was always over and I’m sure this has skewed my view as to what’s right. And over definitely, definitely seems right to me.
If someone puts it on the wrong way in my house, I will change it. I have to refrain myself from changing it in other people’s houses.. I just remind myself it’s their domain and if they like it that way, I have to be conscientious and leave it be. :)
The under for cats and kids thing is an interesting point, however. None of my previous animals paid any attention to the T.P., but the current cat is a vicious paper product attacker. In our apartment, we don’t have a holder and used to set the T.P. on a convenient shelf next to the toilet. Post-cat, we’ve had to move it to the shelf above the toilet and set it on a small mirror, as she climbs onto the tank, reaches up through the shelf bars, and gets the roll down that way. We’ve also had to put the bathroom wastebasket in a really inconvenient place, high up, because she jumps in there, knocks it over, pulls out all tissues and paper, and thoughtfully leaves the shreds everywhere.
