A mnemonic: hang out in the bathroom.” >> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/23/fashion/when-the-manners-police-knock-circa-now.html?pagewanted=all" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/23/fashion/when-the-manners-police-knock-circa-now.html?pagewanted=all</a> Would you ever reverse the direction of someone else's toilet paper roll while using their restroom?
