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”
With a few odd exceptions, which is why “five items or less” is actually correct.
Which is why English is even more fun.
I guess it makes sense. Less than 5 can be considered variable thus not countable
