Bath towels I'd like to get some response on this topic, not necessarily a survey, but feel free to share your thoughts on the matter: Bath towels and the frequency with which they are laundered.

To illustrate how boring my lunch hour actually is, I will give you a brief synopsis of the conversation I had yesterday.

A co-worker had stated that his wife was going out of town on business for about 7 weeks and had packed a number of bath towels for her trip. Leaving him with only seven bath towels at the house.

Immediately, I think to myself that he won't have to launder any towels until his wife returns from her trip.

He then states that had she not left him with at least 7 towels, he wouldn't be able to make it through the week without having to do laundry. At this point I stared at him somewhat quizzically.

They will launder a towel after only one use! One use and then it's off to the hamper! The towel barely got a chance to do what it is designed to do and here you are sending it to early retirement. Have you no feelings, no compassion? Who will think of the towels?

I am more of the mindset of using a towel for about a week or so and then doing the laundry. Give the towels a chance to live up to their expectations, live out their dreams. Besides, the unions are a bitch to work with!

My question to you, dear reader, is: what makes more sense: one use, on wash; or multiple use, one wash?

Or am I spinning my wheels here, much like the debate I had regarding which way the roll of toilet paper needs to hang, over or under?

I told you my lunch hour was boring.  ¶ 9:26 AM
