TP Breakthrough

I had a break through this weekend. I have been struggling to train all the members of my household to load the toilet paper correctly on a the dispenser. When ever I would see it loaded the wrong way :
The Wrong Way
I would correct it. At the same time I would be mildly irritated. This weekend, we have a house full of folks up at the cabin and have gone through a lot of paper. While meditating on the throne, came to the conclusion that if I simply let it go and not let it irritate me and don’t bother switching it – I would gain more inner peace. I have and I have.
(BTW, this is the correct way:)
The Correct Way

This is very Zen of you, Slarty, and commendable. Intead of struggling against the river, Grasshopper, let it flow around you. Become one with the water. That being said, the dispense-from-the-underside school of TP loading is clearly wrong. But there is satisfaction in knowing that without having to correct it. Thankfully I live in a house united when it comes to this. A clear sign of our compatibility. You know, in all the world’s finest hotels you find the dispense-from-the-top method being used. Usually with the end folded into a point for a little panache. It’s tough to make a pointy end on your toilet paper roll when it’s coming from underneath! Take care, Slarty. You are always welcome to replace the TP roll in our home.
