Tha's so weird. My experience is the opposite.

I wonder if this is like the Coriolis Effect, which makes the toilet bowl flush spin clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern -- since, I would say, the centrifugal force lifting the edge of the paper off the surface of the roll and the contact friction holding it down would be unaffected by the direction of spin?
