I'm turning 42 next summer and have been thinking about hosting a Towel Party; this image is going to be very helpful.
A stranger on the Internet approves of this plan. Please provide updates. Will there be a Vogon poetry recital?
I think the physical and psychological distress that tend to result from Vogon poetry would be problematic for the celebrational mood I'm hoping to achieve, but there will definitely be gorgeous sandwiches crafted by the loving hands of an artisan of intergalactic renown.
I've never seen a recipe for Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters that appealed to me, but I'm hoping to get that sorted as well.
That OP, he's a really hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.
I was really hoping I'd find this here.
Always know where your towel is
Be the kind of frood who knows where their towel is
A real hoopy!
Yet somehow the hotel towels are several times better at actually drying than my thick luxurious towels at home
Are you using fabric softener? That makes your towel less absorbent. If you're using detergent with built in softener it'll do the same.
Wash your towels with a cup of vinegar to remove the softener.
Should I shower with vinegar and then use my crappy home towel?
Sure. Why not?
And/or borax in the machine with the soap. Helps a lot.
Don't use softener
Stay at a better hotel then. This is like shopping at Walmart and complaining about how many people in there smell bad.
Ah yes just "have more disposable income". Simple advice, thanks.
You can go to a better place and pay less, but you go ahead and act superior since you clearly know what you're talking about and aren't just pulling shit out of your ass.
Woah chill lmao
If only my company allowed me to book my own hotels while traveling for work...
Oh, well then yours is probably the best solution then.
When you shop for towels, don't get a towel, get a "bath sheet". They are XL towels
Fuck that, beach towel ftw
Fuck that, aircraft detailer.
Don't forget to replace your soap with aircraft paint stripper to get extra clean.
Has anyone noticed hotels are also giving you less towels overall? Last hotel I stayed at I got one bathtowel, one hand towel and a washcloth. Guess If I spill anything I'll just clean it with the bath mat?
What else should they give you by default? Genuinely asking.
Usually it's at two of everything. Especially now that housekeeping only stops by once per stay these days.
A spilltowel, you lousy poorperson.
I would love to know which god-tier cushiony towels you are using at home!
I have had to stay in a lot of hotels and the good the bad and the disgusting, it doesn't matter.
I am bringing my own fucking towel. You can say "stay at a nicer place" all you want. but those who can afford those places, are also those who can affod to be the sickest, most perverted fuckers out there and employees that give far less a fuck's worth of care.
This, but my pillow. Since I learned how amazing latex foam pillows are, I've had a hard time sleeping on regular pillows ever since.
Nice hotels have a pillow menu.
A towel menu ?!?!? I feel like I've only used 2 types of towels before . Walmart towels and hotel towels . And I guess beach towels .
Pillow menu. Not towel menu. You can ask the hotel for a latex pillow or foam or soft or hard or duck feathers etc.
Also the idea of a used pillow
Why are they heavy tho? I have a much thicker towel at home but it's much lighter than hotel's.
All the stale cum
Opposite for me haha. Some of those hotel towels put in work
I think you're supposed to bring your towel
This is how I feel about pillows
