Another good night not to sleep in a eucalyptus tree.

I don't like reaching over my shoulder so I just set the roll on top of the roll holder. Every now and then some well-meaning visitor will come over and put it on the roll holder properly for some reason but I just take it right back off.

I was just about to write something like this. I do have a roll in the holder, but I also just stand one on top of the holder. I guess the one in the holder is mostly for other peoples convenience really. Having it just standing on top, or I guess I could just have had a shelf to put it on works the best from all positions -- standing or sitting it's easy to grab. If you stand and it's in the holder if you are a taller person you have to bend to grab some paper and that is annoying. So I just put it on top of the holder instead.

Sounds like you're voting for vertical; do you prefer clockwise or countercockwise as a direction for the paper to unroll?

You know, that might even be a better slip than the Alzheimer's Cock [soylentnews.org].

Not vertical. That would imply that I left it on some sort of dispenser. I just pick the roll up and dispense the necessary amounts myself.

I don't have a preference, to dispense i just jam two fingers in the cardboard cylinder, grab the free end, and roll a few turns around my hand. Neatly folded and ready to use.

A reason is that if not in a holder it can be knocked off onto the floor or even straight down the pan. Especially if my small nephew goes in there pissing half his load on the floor and flailing his arms around, as is his habit. And don't get me started on those "convenient" half-a-coathanger minimalist roll holders either, because rolls can be knocked clean off those too, especially if the room is a bit narrow and being used by someone the size of my mother-in-law.
Give me roll holders that need a set of tools to get the roll out.
