I put mine on the counter.  Because Cat and the toilet paper holder is above the cat box.  I am not tempting fate.  

Otherwise, yes, over not under (I have cleaned rooms in a motel and you cannot make the cute point with the end of the TP if it is under)

Tp wars are something I don't get. I'm just glad when there is a replacement roll.

Oh and at work, we have the giant rolls.  And it is horrible TP.  Very thin and scratchy.  

Yep, I'm the toilet owner replacer both at work and at home too.  Even if someone does start a new roll, why is it so difficult for them to put the empty roll in the garbage bin?  It's right there, next to the toilet at home.  Yes at work there's no bin in the bathroom (and I just don't get that but I'm a minion and it's not my decision) but if you finish it, take it out to the kitchen two metres away and throw it out!

Preach it, sister!  Probably TMI but in all my bathrooms at home you can change the roll and throw the old one out without getting off the toilet.  I store the new rolls in easy reach as a defensive maneuver and the garbage is right there.  It's the ultimate lazy act ...but it also takes seconds for me to fix so getting worked up about it isnt the best use of my time either.

its one of those things.

Yep, downstairs bathroom you can reach for the new roll on the windowsill (placed there by me when the roll is half empty because no one else is capable of such foresight), replace the roll, throw out the old one, all while sitting.  Maximising efficiency.  

In the upstairs bathroom, you can reach for the new roll placed on the shelf at the end of the bath (placed there by me when the roll is half empty, because no one else is capable of such foresight), replace the roll, but you have to *gasp* open the cupboard under the sink one step away to throw it in the bin.  Despite my best efforts at training my family, no one else has mastered this skill  but as you say there's no point in getting worked up about it.

We have each other for solidarity...we can love our families despite their selfish limitations.  

And we can bitch about it here without being a nagging mother  

My kids aren't quite dextrous enough to change the toilet paper rolls yet, but if the 5 year old is nearby when I take off the empty cardboard tube, I never have to carry it to the recycling. "Can I have it to play with?"

I go through the collection of paper towel and toilet paper tubes every so often and recycle the most squished and abused ones. When the 5 year old is not around, of course!
