Over or under?

EDIT: It looks like the top poll option disappeared. Drat.

Why do you assume people use either one?

Because I don't want to run out of poll space.

I picked over, but I really cannot see (even within the Wikipedia link) how on earth this is relevant to autism.

Having said that, this is something I am very particular about. I have always strongly hated the 'under' orientation, it looks wrong and is very annoying. If my husband puts a new roll on in the 'under' position, I will always remove it and replace it in the 'over' position. I guess this is pedantic by some people's standards, and pedantry is something we are known for. My pedantry carries into many areas of how I like things done, and if they are not done that way I will get very annoyed.

Indeed very important!

Unfortunately the option that has disappeared is my choice. So I couldn't vote. I always thought "over" was the only way. When I saw "under" done by someone, I thought it was a mistake. Then I realized some people actually choose the "under" orientation. I couldn't believe it. It just looks stupid (no offense) and is harder to use.

It really doesn’t matter to me, as along as you replace it if you’ve use the last of it.

some people perversely like doing things the hard way.

Over, under is just illogical. This surely isn't related to autism in anyway nor is at a very important question.
