We're saving the planet.
One measly laundry load at a time.
I do not wash towels with every use-- what's the point? If you've done the job correctly in the shower or the bath, you're going to rub that soft, fluffy fabric all over your clean body, right? Hung properly, said towel dries quickly and no bacteria grows, so why can't you use it again?One measly laundry load at a time.
My sentiments exactly (and for those of you panicking and scrolling to the header, you did not accidently click on the Bonbons blog).

We all use our towels for a few days, and then they go into the wash and are replaced by new towels.
My towel is a dark rich purple. Always has been. Well, for the last three years, anyway.
However, since we moved into this house, my towel has been wet.
I get up in the morning, and my towel is wet.
I go to bed at night, my towel is still wet.
What the heck? Is it more humid here, 6 miles from our old home?
So yesterday, I pull out all of the towels from our en suite. I put a new purple towel in there and begin washing the others.
I told the Hubby that he'd need to grab a towel before he showered because I had removed the ones in the bathroom for washing. When I went in a little later, after his shower, there were no new towels and the purple one was... WET.
Well, that's almost comparable to using my toothbrush as far as I'm concerned.
The war was on.
"My towel is the purple one. Why are you using my towel?! Your towel is tan. Your towel is sometimes green, but MY towel is and has always been the purple one!"
"But it was on my towel rack".
He has a towel rack? Who assigned towel racks? In a bathroom with two racks, each holding a tan/purple combination, he assumed one rack was his and one was mine?
Men. He's got some serious issues to work through...

You guys are so funny! Did he finally get it?
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww =(
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about that... at dad and mom's house I have MY chair at the dinner table. lol And if anyone is in it... well lets just say it doesn't end pretty heh heh
But good job with saving the world! ^^ So proud! YAY! *happy dance*
OMG! I've been married 30 years and still can't teach Mr. Snooty to use his own damn towel!! I'm so thrilled to know I'm not alone, lol. It makes me so furious and for some odd reason, this intelligent, hard working man cannot get this one, tiny, simple thing. Gaahhhhh!
ReplyDeleteYa, men, the issues are all theirs.
ReplyDeleteThat is so something that would happen here at my house. Sorry to hear it happens other places...
ReplyDeleteMen are SOO clueless. You know this. But, purple? Is a GIRL color!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA! I wish I could get my kids to use a towel for at least 2 days in a row!
ReplyDeleteTake care - nice to see you - Kellan
them's fighting words! :)
ReplyDeletewith you sister. i hate trying to dry off with a damp towel. groooosss!
we do the same thing. use the same bath towel for a few days. same reason.
night night, kathleen
oh my husband gets confused about towel rules too... drives me crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious. Men just don't get it.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like me with my husbands towels. well...i always forget to take an extra towel for my hair, and his JUST HAPPENS to be next to my body towel so... it's fair game!!
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxo
LOL!!! That is SO LIKE a man! Hilarious! And yes, it is akin to using your toothbrush. I have the same problem here.
ReplyDeleteAnd TAG! You're it! :D
Oh man, can I relate. Why do they think it is ok to use someone else's towel? You dry off your butt with that dude! Every once in awhile, he actually uses my toothbrush by accident! How can you do this? We've been married for 32 years and my toothbrush is ALWAYS yellow! ack!
ReplyDeleteGod, I would have KILLED him! Your towel full of his water. Yuk.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha
ReplyDeletefun new design, by the way!
That's funny - I have a friend who thinks the planet would stop spinning if she or her family were to use the same towel more than once before washing. I think she's crazy. I don't mean a family should SHARE a towel, of course, but I don't get why I should wash MY towel after every time I use it if, as you say, I'm indeed doing a proper job of the whole showering/bathing process. lol But to humor her, whenever they come to visit (she lives over 700 miles away), I try to keep plenty of clean towels on hand so she won't have to (gasp!) use the same one twice in a row!

The towel incident that upset me the most at my house? Toweling off and then glancing down to find that I had ... what?!? When did I grow a few hairs on my chest? Is this like the weird long hair I found on my neck? NOOOO!!! Wait a minute. These hairs have friends. LOTS of friends HOLY COW I'M COVERED IN LITTLE HAIRS!
ReplyDeleteThe kids had used my towel to dry off the dogs after their bath and then hung the towel back up to dry.
Someone restrain me.
Too funny. Same issues here. My towels are purple... exactly like the ones you pictured. Hubby's are sage green. I NEVER use sage green. Never, ever. Yet - I have a wet purple towel every now and then and I'm just like you... whaaaa???
ReplyDeleteYes, there are rules that need to be followed.
