For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
Looks like there are conflicting definitions. From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/several
a : more than one
several pleas
b : more than two but fewer than many
moved several inches
So maybe it’s what you mean lol
