...just a tiny angry thought from my slow rewatch of Enterprise.

 

[Melakon]

Is the objection to the paper towels, the towel holder, or that T'Pol appears to be doing the cooking and cleaning?

 

[dub]

The paper towel roll is turned the wrong way.

 

[Melakon]

Well how are Vulcans supposed to know that?

 

[Nerys Myk]

The paper towel roll is turned the wrong way.

Ah, the eternal question.

 

[dub]

Because one way is logical and the other way is infuriating.

 

[Melakon]

This sounds like the episode where Archie hollers at Meathead for putting the toilet paper on backwards.

--Who put the last roll of terlit paper on the spool up there?

--I did.

--I mighta knew that. The terlit paper is supposed to go over the spool not under.

eta: Vulcans do not become infuriated.

 

[Nerys Myk]

This sounds like the episode where Archie hollers at Meathead for putting the toilet paper on backwards.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I never notice what direction anything like that is. It all works.

 

[HIjol]

oh, No. There is The Way, and there is not the way.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

pfft, I just put stuff on in whatever direction I'm holding it at the time.

 

[Melakon]

I usually keep it where the loose end is at the back. That's because I have a cat. If the paper is outward, they can't resist rolling it all onto the floor. Two other cats I had would do the same thing.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Mine have never done such things.

But they've done other, heinous, things

 

[USS Triumphant]

This sounds like the episode where Archie hollers at Meathead for putting the toilet paper on backwards.

I initially read "Archie" as "Archer" and was very briefly trying to figure out who "Meathead" would be. In other words, I need coffee.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Yes it doesn't work since Archer is the meathead..

 

[Melakon]

T'Pol would be Archie in the above dialogue exchange.

Or maybe Malcolm, since everything has to be proper.

 

[USS Triumphant]

Yes it doesn't work since Archer is the meathead..

I don't know... I'm pretty sure he's Archie. He expresses a lot of questionable opinions, is slightly racist against Vulcans, and gets titchy if other people sit in his chair.

I think Trip is Meathead.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

AND Hoshi is Edith.

 

[dub]

Vulcans do not become infuriated.

Enterprise Vulcans do. JJ Vulcans do.

 

[USS Triumphant]

Vulcans do not become infuriated.

Enterprise Vulcans do. JJ Vulcans do.

Spore-infected Vulcans do. Sexy time Vulcans do. Vulcans with age-related dementia do. Vulcans betrayed by a protege do.

Seems to me you can't really blame this on anyone specific - it's global for them.
