At work, I share towels with around 400 other people. Same with bed sheets.
Own towels. I detest the thought I could be wiping my face on a towel that's been up someone's crack a short while earlier.
Depends what he means by a "single use". Whichever towel I use to dry myself after a shower goes in teh next wash, because it's completely sopping wet and no use to anyone as a drying instrument
So I guess that's "single use".
Isn't that normal?
Do you have your own towel?
No, it isn't normal IMO.
You hang it up to dry after use and then it's ready for the next time you need it.
Washing a towel after every use is hugely wasteful.
We have out own, colour coded, towels for the same reason we have our own colour coded toothbrushes.
That reason is called hygene
Of course I do, a towel is just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry.
A little debate that has come up.
There's quite a few young people in the house, age 22 to 32, and they are debating using towels in the bathroom.
Some of them just pick a towel up but others have their own individual towels.
I'm pretty sure when I lived at my parents we just picked up what towel was there but in my house we have our own.
It's something I've never thought about but apparently I use the black towels and nobody else does, my wife has red and my eldest uses white.
My eldest finds it abhorrent that she could be wiping her bits when I've wiped my bits with the same towel.
Over to you OCUK.
I just look at the state of dust under your desk and nothing surprises me.![]()
How did you fail to see I use the black towels and nobody else does?
Wake up.
However talking about the old days back in late 50s early 60s we had a tin bath in front of the fire.
Every Sunday it was filled up once, I got in first and when I'd finished my Mum would get in and we she had finished my Dad got in.
Before that I got washed standing up in the sink.
Most definitely have your own! Even after a bath, you're not completely clean. You're bathing in your own filth, and then it gets wiped off on a towel. The thought of a communal towel is horrendous!
