And if you want to convince the other half that you should do it that way, point out that every time you see the rolls with paper hanging on the wall side in public lavatories there is brown stains on the wall behind it.

Well it does,(except maybe in the very expensive stuff)
Most public lavatories (I very rarely use 'em, or at least the cubicles) seem to have enormous rolls mounted sideways, with no, or hardly any, perforations, and you have to fish up inside the dispenser to catch the end of the roll, indeterminately to the left or right.
And so few people wash their hands after all this, then go around holding handrails of escalators, passing money in coffee shops, and so on. Yuk.

Does what? Are you saying you've come across rolls where the perforations don't line up and *can't* be fixed by unwinding one ply?
If so, can you explain how such rolls are made?

I'd guess that the 2 plies are fed separately to the winding machine and that they're already perforated. It's then simply a matter of the outer ply having a slightly bigger circumference to go around and so the perfs. get out of register.

It has been noted at work that one can sometimes hear russeling from another bog cubical, followed by "flush" followed by door and main door noises and yet sink and tap noises are conspiciously absent.
So even educated people are prone to being filthy unhygenic bastards. (I work at a university). And it's not students because be have very few at that site - only the odd PhD). If I ever catch one in person, there'll be words...
*sigh*
Why on earth would a manufacturer go to the trouble of perforating delicate single plies of paper first and then give themselves the much trickier job of making sure that the perforations are registering correctly when the plies are combined?
I'm sorry, but that just makes no sense to me. In the absence of a credible explanation of how such mis-registration can occur during manufacture, I think the only possible answer is that some folk just haven't unwound the correct number of plies.
Certainly in some cheap papers the plies can be very weakly joined and ply splitting is more likely to occur but the perforations will always line up if you sort the plies out.

And three-ply gives another set of mis-registration possibilities... :-)
Even worse in an other way is discovering a hole in the side of the cubical with an eye on the other side (as I did once)

It's bloody annoying that two-ply often unrolls with the plies seperated and out of sync.
Progress, laddy; nothing like it.
Not seen one arrive that way for years, but just separating the plies and unwinding one of them by one turn always used to sort it out ...
When hearing such a situation, I've taken to shouting, "You durty bastard!" from the cubicle.
In John's case it was a finger-slip, a brainfart, an accidental typo. In the case of the convict-descendant, it would be simple ignorance, as bush-schooling tends to concentrate more on working the Drake reciever and sheep-handling rather than decent English usage.
As one of those is kill-filed, I do not respond to his posts any more - nor see much of them. And, as you say, simple finger-trouble. Nonetheless I do see it quite widely elsewhere.
When our bog blocked for the umpteenth time, upon interrogating my son I discovered that actually there's another method - you wrap yards of the stuff around your hand, like a bloody great mitten... FFS
