Are you and your mate TP compatible?

[Alternate title: How's it hanging?]

Forget about money, sex, the toilet seat, and toothpaste caps. You want to know the real source of marital or relationship discord or success? Toilet paper. More specifically toilet paper rolls -- and which way to hang them.

Joke all you want, but I have seen and heard couples nearly come to blows over whether the end of the toilet paper roll should hang over or under the bar (and why certain people seem unable to replace an empty roll). And it's not just couples. Ask your friends -- or really anyone -- about the "right" way to hang a roll of toilet paper and you are guaranteed to wind up in an argument eventually.

Indeed, people have very specific opinions about how to hang toilet paper (like this guy). Hence the 3,770,000 results for the Google search term "how to hang toilet paper." One guy even goes so far as to scientifically demonstrate that there is a right way and a wrong way to hang toilet paper.

Sadly, I am apparently doing it the wrong way -- the "under" way. And per the Angry Aussie will be going to Hell.

Fortunately, the spouse will be going there with me. For he, too, prefers his toilet paper to hang under the bar. I think it's an aesthetic thing, for both of us, though I swear we use less toilet paper when the end hangs under the bar (as opposed to over). In any case, it is one less thing for us to argue about (though we hardly ever argue).

But let me put it to you, dear readers. Which side do you fall on on the great over/under debate? Does your mate agree with you?

Do me a favor and take a few seconds to do the (totally anonymous) poll below, which closes on Saturday, June 18, at 12 noon ET.

How's your toilet paper hanging?
Thank you.

UPDATED: Blog reader Anonymous asked the following question in the Comments, which I felt compelled to reprint here: "Do you fold or crumple your TP?" You can let me know via the Comments. (Too lazy to put up another poll.)
