This Is Just Wrong

I grew up in a mixed marriage house. 

A blended family. 

It was an over the top or down behind marriage. 

I'm talking toilet paper here people.

My mom won the battle and for most of my life before my dad left it was over the top.  A few times though he snuck it in.  But of course after he left is was always over the top.  That was odd because my mom's sister and dad and step-mom were all down behind people.  I guess my mom was just the smartest of the bunch:)

For most of my life I have gone around flipping rolls over.  Never at someone's house, that's just wrong, but at public bathrooms.  Okay, maybe at some houses...but only if it was a guest bath and I knew they wouldn't be using it themselves.  I have some morals.

Shawn's family is an either or type.  I've never figured out which they are.  But I'm more than happy to flip it for them.  I'm such a good in-law, aren't I?  Shawn has just always gone for my way.  He's flexible like that.

A person I follow on Twitter  posted this handy reference.  It shows you the reasoning behind the right way to do it.

So imagine my surprise when I found this in the bathroom this morning.
My text 'Is this some kind of joke' got the reply, 'Just being ornery'.  He'll pay.  Trust me.

So let me hear from you.  Which way do you hang yours?  The right way, or the wrong way?

And if I can handle what might come of it, some day we'll discuss if the lid should be up or down.  I might need therapy before I go there.

Your way is right unless you have three boys who sit next to the toilet and flip the role around and around. Having it faced the "wrong" way keeps the toilet paper just flipping around itself instead of ending up in a heap on the floor.
Ask me how I know this.
