Settle a argument

Towels used to go a few showers, but in the new normal I come home from work, put everything in wearing directly into the washer, shower, then throw the towel in too.  I've become Monk in the past week. 

Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Thank you for saving me the effort.

In the winter I might go a week because I have a space heater in the bathroom that keeps humidity low.  In the summer, much more often.  Basically if I grab it before my shower and it is still wet, new towel time.

Now, mind you, I will use every last towel possible to minimize how often I am doing laundry.  XY chromosomes mean I am towel-blind, all I can differentiate are "washcloth" and "towel". I swear there are like ten different size towels but they all work to dry yourself off.

Towels- once a week.

Pants- every time I wear them

My girlfriend in high school wore the same jeans for nine months straight.  Her mom went into her room one day while she was in the shower and forcibly laundered them.

I'm going to be thinking about that all day now

Thanks

The first ime a towel is used post-shower, it is a face/head towel. The previous face/head towel is the body towel, and the butt gets dried off last with the body towel. Used body towels go into the laundry after being used. 

So, usually twice. 

 

I used to use towels 2-3 times.

Then I experienced jock itch.

Now any towel which has dried my feet goes in the laundry.

It's like how my stance on iffy food got radically more conservative after a bad Trader Joe's shrimp curry that had me delirious and unsure which end would output next for three days. I don't care how much laundry I have to do, I'm not going through that again.

Jeans, 3-5 wearings; other pants 1-3; everything else, mostly after each wearing.

Clothes get worn once. Don't care what it is or how dirty I got, it gets washed. 

Towels get used for 1-3 weeks. They are specific towels that I bought for me only. They are the only green towels in the house. Much like me, they are enormous and coarse. If you are caught with one of my green towel in my house, you die. No questions asked.

Few days then it gets washed. When SWMBO is out of town, 5 days..

I just kind of assumed they washed them in the factory when they made them so I'm good, right?

In reply to mtn :

It seems to have become SOP where I am, no one wants to bring anything home.
