Vocabulary
Leave on the counter, roll war, neat-rollers, battle lines are drawn on toothpaste
Are your discussion/negotiation skills good enough to handle a fight about toilet paper?
You may think I'm kidding, but I'm not. There are two types of people in the world: those who like their toilet paper to come from over the top of the roll, and those who insist that toilet paper was meant to come from underneath the roll. And each camp is convinced that theirs is the right way. Check with your sweetie before you rent the moving van: is he or she an over-the-topper our out-from0the-bottomer? And if (gasp!) you suddenly realize you're in a ‘mixed' relationship, don't panic. If you can't work it out, either get two separate toilet paper holders, or do what my husband and I do: don't put the paper in the holder at all - just leave it on the counter. That way the cat can't unroll it all over the floor, which is an added benefit.
A sub-category of the toilet paper roll war is the toothpaste tube skirmish where the battle lines are drawn four ways: cap-ons, cap-offs, squeeze-from-the-middles, and neat-rollers. Don't even go there. Get your own personal tube of toothpaste!
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.

Hi, First, let me say that I've always heard that people who like their toilet paper to come from over the top of the roll are more highly educated. Are your discussion/negotiation skills good enough to handle a fight about toilet paper? You may think I'm kidding, but I'm not.
