People have Laruana lot of feelings about toilet paper. Specifically, the correct way to position toilet roll on its holder. So strong are these feelings, that they feel duty-bound to use any means of communication to inform people when that their rolling direction is incorrect.

In this instance, one woman's Tinder profile pic invited the ire of her matches, who informed her she was "incorrect about toilet paper."

The over/under toilet roll debate is a highly contentious one. Some say the toilet paper should be hung "over," so the loose paper hangs off the exterior. Others believe the toilet roll should be oriented in the "under" position, with the loose paper hanging close to the wall.

Writer Hana Michels tweeted her Tinder profile photo, in which she is brushing her teeth in her bathroom. In the bottom of the photo, her toilet roll — draped in the under position — is visible.

"This is my tinder profile. I’ve had it for a year. 23 men have contacted me to say I’m incorrect about toilet paper," wrote Michels.

Even Michels' roommate chimed in to tell her that her matches might be onto something.

So, is there actually a correct way to hang loo roll?

Apparently so.

Back in 2015, tech writer Owen Williams dug up the 1891 patent for the toilet roll owned by Seth Wheeler, the clever clogs who invented perforated toilet paper.

Per the patent, it seems Wheeler intended people to use the "over" method.

But, if we take a quick glance at some of the replies to Michels' tweet, you'll see that people who own cats prefer the "under" method as it prevents cats from unfurling the entire roll.
