I feel like, besides an ignorance of mechanical advantage, there’s some underlying sense of machismo that goes with the notion of down-rolling being the proper configuration. It all depends on the height of the roll. Reaching down, it should be under, reaching up, it should be over; that’s how pulley systems work, otherwise you’re just pulling directly on the points of perforation.
As something of a germophobe, here’s my rationalisation: back-rolling means the dangling TP touches the wall, so when you grab it, your hand is MUCH more likely to touch the wall than if the TP is front-rolled. And what just touched that wall before you? Somebody else’s hand that was just wiping their ass! Alright, sure, so your hand is wiping an ass too, OR IS IT? What if you just need some TP because you have a runny nose or even a bleeding nose? You’ll be wiping your face with somebody else’s poop-germs from the wall if it’s back-rolled! Ewwwww…
I don’t know, I can’t remember a dispenser I wasn’t able to get paper from without having to touch the wall, or even rested against the wall. Not that it makes a difference; with all those same people touching the roll which is much more absorbent than the wall, you’re not really avoiding any germs.
Dude! Which program do you use to make these animations? Ah! By the way, Ur work are excelent!
Too far man, too far :-l
HA!!
This is amazing.
The fiend! Such a dastardly deed! What cruel injustice! I’m utterly without words.
I am shocked! Shocked and DISGUSTED!
Haha! You’re gonna start a war here – some people swear by back-hanging toilet paper, others by front-hanging.
Back-hangers are completely crazy, of course.
Screw that, man! I’m not part of your system! I’m an adult!

while having to touch the wall……… *
lol wtf!
There is no justice in this world.
These are getting better and better!
The spouse does this in a random fashion. She doesn’t even think about it. No regard for the front [CORRECT] side. Grounds for divorce.
The animation in this one is hypnotically good. Also, damned back-rollers D=
I’m another person who just doesn’t even think about the difference when installing a roll.
GOD DAMN IT DOG THERE ARE RULES OF ESCALATION.
Favorite detail: The edges of the dog’s mouth rising up on either side of his head to show his smile.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (In Darth Vader style)
