The RIGHT way to hang toilet paper

Toilet paper hanging methods

When it comes time to install a new roll of moon floss, I’ve always been an “over the top” guy.  In the past I’ve lived with under-hung devotees and others who apparently couldn’t be bothered to distinguish.  I’ve always “known” that my way was superior, but I’ve never really tried to elucidate why that is so.

Well someone has finally presented the reasoning.  Over at the Current Configuration blog, they’ve taken on this vital topic and (I hope) laid the debate to rest.  Now if only we can get everyone on board — I’m envisioning a multi-media Public Service Announcement campaign.

Transit etiquette

30 06 2008

As a daily bus rider, I’m often appalled at the lack of etiquette among my fellow riders.

With no end in sight to the higher prices at the gas pump, more and more folks seem to be joining me on mass transit.  I’ve come across a new-ish blog called “Muni Matters” that details some simple rules that everyone who rides mass transit should follow.  The site is based in San Francisco, but the advice it dispenses is pretty universal.
