I do this, and I'm not embarrased about it.

I admit it. When I use the toothpaste, I squeeze it from the middle. This makes one person in my famly particularly aggravated, but I just can't help myself. Am I the only one afflicted with this condition?

 

No, my husband has it. I am glad we have to use different toothpastes (I have to use sensitive and he doesn't). That way, he can botch up his own tube and it doesn't make me mad.

 

Mentadent will solve this conflict.

What's wrong with squeezing in the middle? Once it gets low you just roll it up and get all the leftover paste out.

 

Maybe the Obama administration can sponsor a bill through Congress to address the issue - the "Tubesqueezing Act of 2009." Or they could simply add it as a rider to the Healthcare Reform bill.

I'll bet you also put the toilet paper roll on backwards, just to irritate everyone else, as well.

 

And leaving the seat up, no doubt.

 

Just pull/drag the tube down/across the corner of the sink or a table/desk, pulling from the bottom of the tube towards the top. (Leave the top on the tube, of course.)

This pushes all of the toothpaste towards the top of the tube, maximizes your use of the product, and resolves any problem arising from squeezing from the middle.

Viola'.

Problem solved.

 

IF you ever want to be a jerk, take a roll of toothpaste that is, oh, a third full, and has been nicely rolled. Then squeeze all the paste to the bottom of the tube. IT looks funny, too.

 

Underneath is backwards, and there is no debate. If there is a printed pattern on the tp, it goes over the top, not underneath. But you are free to use in backwards in your own home, or squeeze your tootpaste in the middle, a clear indication of lack of parental guidance at a young age, IMO.

 

Anyone who would put the tp on a roller so that the paper comes over the top has obviously never owned a cat... or a toddler.

EDIT: okay, I didn't mean "owned" a cat. Dogs have owners; cats have staff.

EDIT: okay, okay, I didn't mean "owned" a toddler, I meant "suffered" a toddler.

My wife squeezes from the middle and I don't like it, so I have my own tube. Problem solved.

 

there was a lengthy thread about 'over or under' with regard to toilet paper and the 'over' contingent pretty much wiped their *** with the 'unders'.

the most irritating thing about toothpaste is if you have 2 tubes going at once and one gets neglected and then when you go for it it has that hardened paste blocking the opening.

 

well, you eat at Taco Bell, so that explains the belching and farting.

 

Toothpaste pumps resolve such dilemmas. Just sayin'...

For the record, my GF is a middle of the tube squeezer. I mean really... WTF?
