Are you right or left handed? Do you fold or bunch? I pee sitting down and poop standing up. Everyone is different no one way is the correct way. :)
There is a correct way to hang a toilet paper roll. NASA has produced the HACCP guidelines for a reason.
If your toilet paper faces the wall, your poopy or peepy fingers will touch that wall, time after time after time again. Maybe just once a week! But how many people clean their toilet roll walls every day, week? Every month? Every year even? Think about the ladies that'll have to use that paper too. They wipe front to back for a reason on the front, and front to back on the back. Now if the toilet paper touching the wall that is already covered in crap particles, it wouldn't really matter which way they wipe.

The paper faces outwards to stop the risk of cross contaminating yourself with old poop. What's worse, that it's usually a finger nail that scratches that wall. Finger nails are notoriously hard to clean.
The patent for the toilet paper roll shows its intended front and back.

If you ever come across a surgeon who lets the paper face the wall, make darn sure you ask for antibiotics too. If you're a lady with recurring UTI's, clean yo walls and flip that roll!

Some people amaze me..

It was a joke. Pooping standing up should have been the tip-off.

Oh no I got it. Just wanted to vent my frustrations ;)

I spent 10 years working as a janitor next to my studies, another year and a half in elderly care. I'm amazed at how nasty people can be.

It has been said, "time heals all wounds." I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time the mind, protecting it's sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But is never gone. -Rose Kennedy
All I can tell you is that half a century is not enough. A gentle breeze, a fleeting thought is enough to lift the scab and it bleeds anew.

I was doing remote tech support for a service where we were like a one-stop tech support for everything. Didn't matter what it was, if it plugged in & went "beep" we'd do our best to support it for you.

One day I helped this nice young girl with her webcam.... just a driver issue, simple stuff.... and then I helped her with her other webcam..... and then another and i remember thinking to myself "why does this girl have so many webcams in her bedroom?!?!"

I hate temperatures over 85 degrees.
🥵
It's not the heat, it's the humidity and dew point. Once the dew point gets north of 65 you're into the hellish humidity that envelops you like a wet warm blanket.

How to listen to listen, and not listen to respond.
... for the longest time, and I am still guilty of it to this day, I would essentially listen to exactly enough of what was said to start forming my response. I was more focused on what I would say next, than what was still being said. Listen to complete sentences BEFORE forming a response to that sentence, who would have thought?

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
... going back and correcting mistakes always takes longer than taking your time to do it right.

I am the common denominator in all my life's problems.
... I did this to me. Not blaming circumstances or others, and owning up to my mistakes/faults has improved my outlook on life, and my relationships with others.

All in, all the time.
... people care about way too much BS, they spread their attention out way too thing between too many trivial things. Dedicate yourself to the task at hand, and put everything you have into it. Even if it turns out to be a mistake, make the mistake at speed. Fail spectacularly. Be willing to try, and try hard. Be willing to fail hard [again, and again, and again], if that's what it takes. Head first, no return, full send, burn the freaking boats.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. - Samuel Johnson

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it. - Mark Twain

If there is nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe. - Dr. Beverly Crusher

Hmm but some (not all) but some battles in life are worth fighting for.
Absolutely. However, as one who has fought for his very survival. I can tell you that the fight for your life or your principles are few and far in between.
