Words to live by.

In this case, loo roll has been improved by mounting it in a more aesthetically pleasing configuration... 😁

in reply to Natasha 🇪🇺 • • •I never had any doubt. When I was a child my parents had a toilet roll holder which would automatically grip the roll so you could easily tear it off with one hand.
The gripping mechanism only worked the right way around, so I've always been used to the right way being the only way.

in reply to Natasha 🇪🇺 • • •I hear some people voluntarily reverse it to see who will mansplain them the fine art of replacing a toilet paper roll, or just sneakily reverse it 😂
Also whoever wrote this patent doesn't have cats!

in reply to Natasha 🇪🇺 • • •What about the toilet paper emoji?
🧻
Have they cleverly avoided the issue by placing the axis vertically, or have they just opened another rift in society by unrolling from the right 😱 when "everyone" knows that it MUST be unrolled from the left?
