This is literally something that has never occurred to me to consider. No one in my family has ever done this (deliberately, at least), no one in my wife’s family. I’ve actually lived with many people and have never noticed anyone specifically wash their hands to unload a dishwasher.
Like many things hygiene-related, it’s always interesting to me what one person thinks of as completely compulsory, and another has never considered.
I think we have another candidate for this wiki
That’s why I prefer end-under in my kayak’s bathroom.
At the risk of being called weird, I have another perspective, borne out entirely from personal experience.
If the holder is in front, or to the side, of the seated user then over the top makes sense. However, if (as in my bathroom) it is on the same wall as the cistern requiring you to reach back to unroll, then over the top makes it far too easy to spin way too much from the roll. Hanging it to the wall side makes it way easier to control.
As to dishwashers - there’s only one in this house, and it’s typing out the comment you see before you now

I would never put sharp knives in the dishwasher. They’d take up the space where my cast iron skillet fits, so… 
We don’t have toilet roll holders in my house. I put the rolls on top of the radiator for ultimate comfort in cold weather.
Thems fightin’ words… Are you deliberately trying to break the BBS!!!
10 seconds through Chef’s Choice Model 120, easy peasy.
The correct answer is to buy a dishwasher with a utensil tray where you lay them horizontally.
As the dishwasher of my house, I prefer not to have utensils pointed in me, no matter the direction.
This totally what we do. No choice for the spoons/forks but knives are stabby bit down.
This is too stressful. I’m sticking with disposables.
I’m pretty sure the whole point of the Simpsons gag where the social worker lists “toilet paper hung in improper overhand fashion” as a reason for putting their kids in foster care is that no one thinks this is correct.
As for the dishwasher thing, it’s a trick question; dishwashers are pointless.
Each of the votes in the majority site ‘contamination’ as a reason for their thinking.
This is irrational.
Even if the thread of contamination was real, living in a disinfected world is not good for us.
Most dishwashers I’ve seen only have slots that allow the handle side to go in for spoons and forks, but allow knives to go in handle up. They also keep the utensils separated so they don’t touch which could keep them from getting clean. I’m siding with the last one. Wash your hands before you empty the dishwasher!
I just keep mine in the dishwasher.
Was aghast at my parents putting KNIVES and forks in the dishwasher points up. Saying they get cleaner that way…“but what about the blood?” I asked.
A shrug with bandaged fingers was my only reply.
I just leave my Knives Out
Nope. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
In the industry we called it “side work” which yinz likely already know means polishing with a towel. Polishing polishing everything.
Dishwashing machines only sanitize.
