You are right. How many can explain why?

AAHH the old "over or under" debate - I put it on so that it rolls from the back down, not over, travelling you end up with loo paper all over the floor - especially on bumpy roads. So I am an "under" person.

Because the patterns are printed on the side that is out.

Arguments for over or under
Folded and sealed toilet paper with cover, Hotel Monasterio 2009
Paper mounted underwith upside-down images and text
The main reasons given by people to explain why they hang their toilet paper a given way are ease of grabbing and habit. Some particular advantages cited for each orientation include:
Over reduces the risk of accidentally brushing the wall or cabinet with one's knuckles, potentially transferring grime and germs.
Over makes it easier to visually locate and to grasp the loose end.]
Over gives hotels, cruise ships, office buildings, public places and homeowners with guest bathrooms the option to fold over the last sheet to show that the room has been cleaned.
Over is generally the intended direction of viewing for the manufacturer's branding, so patterned toilet paper looks better this way.
Under provides a tidier appearance, in that the loose end can be more hidden from view.
Under reduces the risk that a toddler or a house pet, such as a dog or cat, will completely unroll the toilet paper when batting at the roll.
When it was a juvenile, the kids' Burmese cat used to bite a hole about a centimetre deep and a watch face wide, square through the middle of the roll. Several toilets, several rolls and the same neat hole appearing in each. Only to a new roll on the spindle We had to shut doors until he was older, when he acted like an adoring pup that followed his selected humans everywhere.

I'm an "under" person myself, but the 1891 patent diagrams for the toilet paper roll has it going over the top.
Gday...
