I shouldn’t complain about toilet paper handling, as pop psychology buffs will gleefully label me anal. But I make a simple plea: Don’t load the new roll until the old roll is empty. When the roll on the wall is getting thin, I put a new wrapped roll nearby on the floor, so that no guest will have to search through my cluttered storage cabinet or call out for help. But very often, someone removes the not-quite-empty roll, leaves it on the sink or somewhere and unwraps and mounts the new roll. WHY? Do they think the next person will not have the wit to unwrap the new roll and mount it when the old runs out? If I discover the situation, I remove the new roll, remount the old, find the wrapper in the wastebasket and rewrap the new. Is that anal, or just common sense?

I have refrained comment over a year-is that anal?- however a caveat under a certain emergent urge-when one feels that it likely that more than the usual 3-4 squares may be required, it may be preferable to -with aforthought & clean fingrers, to so anticipate. I also have found some brands of wrapper functional in emergencies. The near/empty roll is always treatable with respect. Roll reversal aside.
