Today, my mom informed me that my entire family puts their dirty towels on the towel rack in the bathroom instead of the hamper. I've been using their dirty towels after showers for as long as I remember. FML

I don't follow your logic, kiddo. Doesn't everybody in your household have their own towel? Or... do you expect that everybody uses a towel only once, then places it in the hamper soaking wet, and then puts a new towel on the rack? Me, I use towels for a few days before they go in the laundry, unless they're really dirty. (It would be really expensive and take up a ton of space to have a set of towels for every day of the week.) Between uses, they sit on the rack to dry. When I was a kid, each had our own bath towel, and would do the same thing. If you leave wet towels in the hamper for a few days, they're going to get moldy and gross - that's why you let them dry out, first. You're not going to die from using the same towel as a blood relative.

Shouldn't you be clean after you shower??? Its like using a dish towel to dry your dishes after you clean them.

i could see being a little grossed out by this, but not that upset. big goddamn deal. if you use a new towel every time you shower you are an idiot. maybe its because im in college and never have to 3.50 in quarters to wash my clothes but i can make 3 towels last half a quarter (5 weeks). not an fml.

You waste the energy and water to get a fresh towel after every shower? Lame-ass pampered pussy.

What's the big deal? I share towels with my family, and at college I share towels with my boyfriend. And at college we wash the towels about once a month. It's not gross, it's laundry-efficient.

Exactly, it's no big deal. I love how people go 'Ew, dead skin' and 'Ew, hair' when hair and dead skin are EVERYWHERE in their houses in the form of dust and all over your bed sheets. It's not disgusting to re-use towels between family members a couple of times, when they're clean after leaving the shower, it's efficient.

Maybe you should ask her if she keeps your food in the garbage even though you probably have a perfectly good fridge in the kitchen... FYL for having a mom as dumb as that and then procreating and passing those genes onto you...

At least ur not from a third world country where a warm shower is something a lot of people don't even get!! Just remember somewhere out there is someone who has to worry about where their next meal is going to come from!! And ur worried about a damn towel a clean person dried off with! Get a grip!!

well, assuming your family gets clean when they shower, the towels shouldn't be that dirty anyways.

How else are you going to find your sister's pubic hairs unless you use the same towel?

you have to let towels dry out before you put them in the hamper. otherwise they would smell all mildewey stupid.
