I've been told that I open envelopes in the wrong manner.  How do you open a regular business sized envelope? Across the top of the envelope the long way or on the end the short width of the envelope?

I said across the top as that is how it starts, but usually ends up just getting ripped open.
There is no wrong way unless you rip up the contents.

I will use a letter opener/knife if one is close by but usually I just start out with my finger and end up ripping it to pieces.

Where was the option for "this is my secretary's job because I'm too important to perform such menial tasks"?

If It's junk mail I open it with my shredder.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

I gently open it with my hands, tearing one side of it.

You didn't have my method listed.
I throw my mail to my dog and he opens it for me.

I could have answered any of these....do them all. I chose "use an opener of some kind" because it's my preferred way if I'm sitting at my desk when I open the envelope. The real question is...how do you pronounce envelope?

I was always weary of the Carnac method would rip the contents, so I blindly open the top.

There's no right or wrong way, as long as the contents remain intact.
Toilet paper, however, must come over the top.

That is the truth.
I open envelopes from the top with my fingers, and often sustain some lethal paper cuts.

That's the way sensible people do it anyway.

I only pay attention to the TP when there isn't any. Hopefully I made that notation before sitting down.

I once read an article that said you use 15-20% less TP by bringing it over the top because you get 1 less square every time you tear it.

What's an "envelope"? I google searched it, and it said something about "mail"? What's that? Does it work like email?

Well, if I look through the plastic window and it appears to be a check, I hide it and sneek it into the office and open it when my wife is not around.. if it appears to be a bill I put it in her pile.

Always open envelopes with an opener. If an opener is not available, I'll use scissors or a knife.

And, might I add, no openers of any type. For TP. I zip the top open or use a flamethrower.

Toilet paper is always over the top,(as long as the carrier holds it horizontally) it either falls in the front or in the back, I guess you demand it fall in the front, personally I don't give a hoot.
I don't open evelopes
I hold them up in the end zone and let T.J. ward Knock them into next week!

I dont care if the toilet paper is on the dispenser sideways, just as long as it is there when I need it, and the kids are famous for leaving the roll with 2-3 sheets remaining.

Before I sit down I make sure there is at least a half inch of paper there....if not, I am looking under the sink for reinforcement.
