There have been many important conflicts in the past such as the war of The Defenestration
and the war of Jenkins Ear. Once again we ( The royal we. It really means I ) are ( am ) in conflict from which we ( I ) shall emerge victorious. The genesis of this encounter requires some background explanation.
It is well known by anyone with the brain power of a snail that toilet paper rolls should unroll from the top toward the outside or front of the roll. This, of course, allows one to easily locate and grasp the end of the roll and accurately measure those squares that the situation may require.
The aggressor , who shall remain nameless, ( You know who you are, you dirty rat ) reverses the toilet roll in all bathrooms and at all times of day or night.We (I) put them aright only to find them shortly thereafter reversed again and again.
Let me make myself clear. You, nameless, cannot win. I intend, at any cost, to prevail.

I forgot to mention that this was referring to the great toilet paper war. I would have added it but I don't know how to edit a posted blog.
I decided to do some research. I figured that some etiquete expert would know the answer.
Surprise! This is a well debated topic. But for all the debate, the jury is still out.
Looks like this will be your private war.
Just for fun, here is one of the many web resources on the matter:

I agree with you on the TP matter. In fact, I found the roll in the upstairs bathroom in the wrong position and corrected it. It's really a no brainer, but someone obviously does not see it our way.
Maybe something is wrong with me but I find this subject matter of absolutely no interest and cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone would care...
Let me make clear that I side with you, DOG, on this one. I have, as a guest in friends' homes, righted their improperly placed rolls on many an occasion, and I simply do not understand how anyone in their right mind could stand for the roll being placed the other way.
It defies logic.
