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"

I do love, however calling it Xitter where X is pronounced “sh”
Like Xi Jinping. (Shi )
What a great example of Xi as in Xitter!
Wonder if Xi scrolls through Xitter on the xitter.
🤣
Is it? The voice in my head pronounced zshi when I read it.
I would say it's pronounced closer to Cedar in this context (mandarin speaker)
Wikipedia says. ʒI: where “ʒ” is the S in pleasure or the g in beige

Shitter

Is it pronounced Ji? So Jitter
