I prefer the front so the current end of the roll is visible and thus easier to find. But I did want to share a related story. I have a good friend who was my figurative partner in crime when we were younger. We spent a lot of time hitting the bars and undoubtedly annoying the fairer sex with our antics. Because of where he lived, I would generally meet him at his place and we'd go out from there.

Every chance I got, I would "use" his bathroom before leaving. I would take this opportunity to reverse the direction of the roll. I did this for maybe a decade or more, and he never mentioned it to me but was mystified how it kept happening. He never put two and two together since the deed was done prior to nights of drinking that might leave a blurry memory the next morning.

Recently I confessed to what I had done. It was like a giant weight was lifted from his shoulders, as he had actually been exasperated as to how it was happening. I think he wanted to punch me, but he was so relieved that he hadn't been losing his mind that he couldn't help but just laugh about it.
