For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

On the toilet paper debate, as far as I can tell it largely has to do with whether people stand up or sit down to wipe. People who stand up want the paper unrolling on the front (because they can't easily reach under the roll), while people who sit down and wipe can go either way.

For my petty hill, "Duck" brand tape is awful and should never be bought. It's just slightly above generic dollar brand tape in quality, and should absolutely never be bought if you have any other options. Go with Scotch or anything else really.

For under it's because they have cats. If it's over cats can pull it down and unroll it entirely.

I never considered the cat aspect. My grip on reality has been undone.
