Accommodationists stoop to new low

1. Just looking at it makes me want to put them both correct. Or I would have to chuck the right one on the floor until it soaked up water to let others know it is just wrong. Bad OCD. Bad OCD.

2. Hmmm, must be a “two holer”. BTW, have you noticed the center cardboard cylinder is larger in the UK. Not sure why…

   1. It varies from brand to brand.
      some designs don’t have any roll at all, but are held between two pivot pins.

3. What will be next? Paper towel rolls??? Which direction to roll up a joint???

   1. Clockwise as viewed from above for paper towel rolls and away from you for joints.

   2. Which direction to roll up a joint???

      Sticky side inward works best.

4. As long as they’re not empty – who’s complaining?

   1. +1

5. Shouldn’t the over-roll be to the right and the under-roll be to the left? 😀 😀

   1. Either is better than those giant industrial sized single-ply rolls that always get stuck in the plastic dispenser forcing you to reach in and spin them around before the TP comes out. Assuming there is any TP in the giant plastic dispenser, which is never a certainty.

      1. Agreed, I’ve done battle with those damn things on occasion. The T.P. sometimes comes out shredded…

      2. Those things tend to have a serrated edge rather than perforations, and I’ve had my hands gouged a number of times trying to tear some off. Evil design.

6. So one direction relies on magic and one on accommodation for comfort.

   Then I assume the photo suggest an atheist follows no paper and takes no shit?

7. The loose ends of both rolls should be attached to each other. Sort of a Mobius roll.

   1. That was my overwhelming urge, as well. I think I need to replace my screen protector now.

8. At least there are enough squares to spare

9. That’s just wrong.

10. Which accommodationist magazine bathroom were these found in? I am betting Salon.

11. Can we accommodate those who don’t like the TP on a roller?

    1. There is always the corn field.

       1. Which prompts me to ask: When did “Corn Hole” cease to become a dirty reference and become a popular bean bag game?

    2. Really! I’m a left thumb roller, and I feel kinda left out of this whole debate.

12. Unless one has a cat I see no reason to accept the roll on the right.

13. Oh my. The toilet paper stresses me out as well as the crooked lines on the wall.

14. Clearly there are other ways of rolling. But lets’ at least agree that those who use vertical toilet paper holders are deeply misguided morons.

    1. I think Ant has one of those.

    2. Jeezus, that thing costs 95 bucks?!!

       1. A nail is cheaper. Such as traditional Oz and NZ dunnies used to have. With a supply of last month’s newspapers impaled thereon.

15. What Would Diana Do?

    Flip the left one?

    Flip the right one?

    Flip both? Neither?

    1. Flip the left one.

16. I think we need a TP summit.

    1. Do we all bring our favorite brand and make a TP summit tepee?

       1. Yes, yes we do. HAHAHA!

    2. I think a TP symposium because of the amusing Classical double entendre.

       1. WEIT, the internet’s greatest source for intelligent TP jokes!

       2. Had to look it up, Diana. Brilliant! 😀
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symposium

          (Meanwhile, I was thinking ‘Pact’ …TPP 😛 )

          1. What’s so nerdy about it is when I entered the business world I laughed out loud when someone said they were going to a symposium because I had a Classical education. I wondered if there would be hetairai there. You can imagine my fellow IT folk found me odd. Happily, I changed jobs and found other Classics grads at another company and they thought I was perfectly normal. I also found other freaks that appreciated me. 🙂

17. A schizophrenic T.P. holder!

18. And a little googling found this:

    1. Awful that the TP is backward. ;P

       1. Glad to see that someone understands, Diana; can’t these “fronters” see that their way only leads to the dreaded “flutulutls?” I work with a disabled guy and have to help him wipe; try tearing off just a few pieces of a “fronter” roll with one hand, without half the roll ending up on the floor. Unfortunately, he’s a “fronter” (I believe it’s childhood programming), even when it comes to paper towels above the sink, which means you get one towel and half the next one, torn at an angle….

    2. That made me lol! 😀

       Must be a family of orangutans!

    3. G*d knows how that bathroom got fitted out, but I have seen in real life a ‘wheelchair toilet’ where the TP roll was on the wall the opposite side of the wheelchair parking space from the toilet itself.

       Um.

19. I though MacPhersonism stood for a strident, fundamentalist belief in underism, not a middle-of-the-road, namby-pamby, split-the-difference accommodation with overism.

    What a disappointment!

    1. “thought” — You gotta get an edit function here, Jerry. Or I gotta get better at this touch-typing thing.

       1. One of those things is never going to happen. 🙁

          cr

    2. MacPherson isn’t an accommodationist! I have very strong feelings on the correct way to hang TP. This photo reflects how others inadequately try to appease me.

       They will be punished, for their TP accommodation is half assed.

       1. *groan*
