What is it with the people who make bathroom towels?
I know we have to replace our old cherished favorite towels and that can be a traumatic experience. I happen to love my towels where the thread has come away at the edge, so that every time I go to dry my back, I put my arm through the gap, like putting on an old raincoat. I love the fishnet hole in the corner that allows me to stick in my thumb employing a controlled swoosh of the towel as I waft it over my shoulders. I love the feel of it, as I floss my butt cheeks. It's multipurpose role in being able to switch off the bedroom smoke detector with a few graceful wafts. The biggest single factor in this relationships is simple....
It gets me dry when I want it to and where I want it to.
New towels fall at the very first hurdle when they simply move the water around your body from one part to another, without actually leaving dry bits. It's like drying yourself on a polythene bag. The post shower favourite move - The Butt Cheek Floss is ruined. The entire experience lost in what feels like a teflon rub.
Mrs M's rationale for replacing perfectly good bath towels, beggars belief and I kid you not. "what if somebody saw the state of these towels" Oh really!!
So a burglar on escaping the house will write up to the local press about the "state" of our bath towels? Who else has any interest in our bath towels? It's insane.
I am forced to endure days of being semi dried. Discovering damp patches when my nice cotton pants get stuck half way up my legs, causing me to pitch forwards onto the bed. Beautiful full cotton shirts refuse to pass over my shoulders as I do my morning Village People routine in front of the mirror, leaving me stuck in a grotesque pose.
I now find myself using the hairdryer to ensure that my back, crack & sack are ready for their finery. Thus defeating the entire purpose of having a towel.
I am not referring to low cost knock off towels bought in some back street market. Mrs M will spend a KIng's ransom selecting towels that would bankrupt some and keep a third world village fed for some years.
These are towels that come with instructions on how to use them!!! Errr, rub towel on body, get dry!!
At one point she actually produced some monogrammed towels. WTF? Why would I want somebody elses's initials exploring my crevices? ....and the embroidery is hard and itchy on my softer bits, once again no good for the old floss routine.
So towel manufacturers. How about manufacturing towels that towel? Just take the instructions from the old towels and create new towels from them. Job done.
