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"

Weird Al got upset enough at this that he put it in a song:

I hate these word crimes
Like I could care less
That means you do care
At least a little

(I'm really glad he did that parody because I find the tune really catchy and the original song is rapey.)
