tp tarot.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted inToo lazy to label.

A hairdresser I used to go to claimed that how you hang up your toilet paper is a window into your personality.

I have yet to change a roll of toilet paper without thinking about him and his tp tarot.

So I put it forth to you.

If you are a back roller it means that you are controlling, unwilling to share and reserved.
controlling.

If you are a front roller it means you are sharing, outgoing and giving.
giving.

Now he didn’t talk about this last one, but I feel it deserves to be mentioned.

If you’re tp roll looks like the following, you’re most likely married.
married.

Just sayin’.

So which one are you…is my hairdressers philosophy true? I’m a back roller personally, I only do it so the kid won’t play hampster wheel with the roll.

  7. Amen, sister. I’m a front roller, my husband is a back roller, and the animals like to remove it.

    The husband also has a knack for leaving an empty roll. He also leaves a FULL bag of garbage in the can.

  9. This post made me laugh out loud because today, in our less than 1000 sq foot apartment, I went to pee twice, each in a different bathroom, and BOTH TP ROLSL WERE EMPTY. And I go to bed first. Just sayin.

    I’m assuming that in the last picutre, the tp is somewhere in the vicinity of it’s home, but not quite there…unless, or course, the last person used up all of roll and didn’t enter the bathroom again…so then it’s under the sink or something.

    Thanks for the laugh!

    And I’m a front-roller – known to switch people’s TP if I’m visiting. Horrible!

  11. I’m a front roller… has to be that way or else!!

    I think I’m a mixture of both personalities. Giving but controlling. Sometimes I’m outgoing and sometimes I’m reserved.

    P.s. I’ve trained my husband not to leave the roll like #3. He is fabulous!

    P.s.s. I’m so glad you’re back from Florida. 🙂

  14. LOL! This post made me laugh – I’m totally a front roller. And I second TUWABVB’s post, I *so* change the tp to the front at other people’s houses! I’m glad to hear there are other people like me out there!!

  15. I’m a back roller, simply because I was told once the only ‘right’ way to do it was front rolling. I’m contrary that way. Over the years I figured out it was harder for my cat and then my toddler to unroll that way. Also, when you are holding a baby in one arm it’s easier to tear some off with one hand without having the whole darn thing unroll onto the floor.

  16. I am a hardcore back roller. It’s the only way to prevent naughty kittens from turning the TP roll into a fun toy. Also, I find it’s easier to rip off just one square (for lipstick-blotting and such) when it’s back-rolled. My mom is a front-roller and she has the audacity to change my TP rolls when she visits! OY!

    I probably tend to the controlling, but I like to think I’m giving. I’m GIVING people the opportunity to use TP the correct way, after all!

  23. Hmmm, what do you think it means if you pay no attention whatsoever to the direction in which your tp rolls? Or, if like me, this morning, you couldn’t find the end of the roll in the dark and had to take the whole roll off the dispenser to try and find it?

    I may be reading too much into this…

  24. I kid you not. Last week there was an empty roll on the roller, an empty roll on the counter, and a tissue box in use because we were totally out. In all 3 bathrooms. Mama’s gotta stock up.

  26. I used to be an “I don’t know, I just stick it on the roller thingee however” roller. But one day, my friend Kelley and I happened upon this topic in discussion (she confessed, like some of the commenters here, that she changes roll orientation in other people’s bathrooms) and she made her case for front-rolling. I said that it seemed easier to grab the paper if it was back-rolled, and she pointed out that it depends on the kind of paper. My toilet paper is kinda fuzzy (I think it’s supposed to be “soft”), so even though I front-roll now in Kelley’s honor, I often have to spin it around to find the end.

  29. Front roller, but my house’s version of the third picture includes a new roll precariously balanced on top of the empty one. My wife evidently believes that replacing the roll requires some sort of key which only I possess.

  37. I’m a controlling, unwilling to share front roller… so I’m gonna have to disagree with the tp tarot.

    I believe it’s been commented on already, but the most common placement of tp rolls in our house: balancing on top of the empty roll in your last picture

  40. What does it mean if you can’t even be bothered to put it on the roller, and it just sits on the counter awaiting use? Does it have any more connotation than: A) You are single and no one uses your bathroom but you, or B) Your roller thingy is in a weird angle to your “throne” and it makes it hard to use the dispenser? Does this mean I’m just lazy and fated to always be alone?

  43. I prefer front so you can fold the corners all cute – not that I do this…but I want that option. However…I have a two and a half year old son and a cat. Both of them think this is an amusement park game, so we back-roll.

  48. Do you think the same thing applies to paper towels too.
    Also what does it mean to roll a blind so the louvers are up and to roll it so the louvers are down?
