I apologise for going OT but curiosity must be satisfied.

So, the trap at work has a normal loo roll holder (as opposed to one
of those corporate jobs where you need a key). On a shelf in the trap
is a bumper pack of Tesco's cheapest loo rolls.

What I've noticed is that, from time to time, an unattached loo roll
appears parked on top of the loo roll holder, which continues to hold
a roll with plenty of sheets. I can understand when the loo roll is
parked on an empty cardboard tube - obviously mummy isn't on hand to
change the loo roll for diddums, but why do some men (a man?) find it
necessary to start a new roll when there's a perfectly serviceable,
unfinished roll on the go?

There must be a logical explanation - I work with software engineers,
and we're not known for being illogical, Captain (sorry, saw the Star
Trek film last night!)

I'm in software deployment rather than development
But...
....When having my eyes tested a few years ago I read the
lines on the chart as directed by the Optician.
"Very good", he said. "But why did you read them from
right to left?"
I had to think about it for a moment and then I realised
that as I was looking at the chart in a mirror, I had subconsciously
assumed that the text would be laterally inverted even though it
wasn't!
