To think DH is deliberately trying to wind me up?

Ok so DH and I have separate towels. I keep his on the towel rack and mine behind the door on the radiator.

I have told him numerous times that this is the towel status quo.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've gone to have a shower to find that he's used MY towel. I know when he has as he's a lazy beggar who leaves it on the floor soaking wet.

I have asked him to please stop using my towel. This didn't work, so I took to taking my towel out of the bathroom and leaving it somewhere else.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I forget to do this and leave it in the bathroom he uses it!!! Angry

It's not like it's easier to get to; he has to reach past the laundy basket and behind the door to get to it!

AIBU to kill him now think he's doing it purposely to wind me up?

I still don't understand why you don't just use the other one.

put loud bells on it? booby trap it with velcro so when he uses it to floss his butt he gets a surprise and a half? Hmm itching powder maybe? Grin

i hate the butt flossing with the towel thing personally i can use my towel for two days as i dry it and reuse it i really don't know what my oh does with his its so bloody FILTHY i mean why did you shower? what did you shower with MUD??? seriously you spent all that time in there and still wipe dirt on your towel?

i can get a pink one though and he will never EVER use it Grin its how i stopped him using my DDs towels

I'm freaking out and frantically checking I didn't change my username and post this thread then suffer a blow to the head and temporary memory loss... This is too familiar.... Right down to the shades of beige and the flossing.

YANBU. Or maybe IANBU?? [confised]

deakymom My husband is the same, his towel looks kind of mud spattered after he uses it (to dry himself when he is meant to be clean). It's a mystery. At least I can spot which one is his!

Toss his towel into a wet bath/basin, and then take your towel away.

See how he likes using a wet towel to dry himself with!!!

DHandhisgrossfoot · 29/07/2014 23:57

I shall simply be more strict with myself and remember to alway take my towel out of the bathroom with me, leaving him no option but to use his bum towel Wink

Do ye not change towels after they have been used?

Nancyjuice7 · 30/07/2014 00:34

Get pink or floral ones for yourself, and stick on a nice note on the back of the door (under the towel so visitors dont think you are crazy) stating: do not use my pink towel!!! Once he gets into the routine (and fear) of not using yours, jobs done. Can you tell iv had this problem before?

MrsMcGregor · 30/07/2014 00:36

Mine accidentally used my toothbrush last week and then was miffed that I was nnoyed enough to go straight out and buy a new one. I cannot share toothbrushes . Anyway, I do empathise.

wafflyversatile · 30/07/2014 00:40

Just make the other towel your towel without telling him. Confused

SqueakySqueak · 30/07/2014 00:43

So put his on the door and yours on the towel rack?

Or just use his? It's just being used to dry off a clean body. You've shared worse than towels.

It's not like you can't use a towel more than once, is it?

magicstar1 · 30/07/2014 00:43

Put some itching powder on your towel

zipzap · 30/07/2014 00:51

It's obvious that you both want the warm radiator spot for your towels.

Could you not put another hook up over the radiator so you can both have warm towels?

DHandhisgrossfoot · 30/07/2014 00:54

To the people saying use his towel, I'd rather not rub my face on something that's been rubbed on DH's arsehole.

And he uses the one on the rack AND the one on the radiator, otherwise I'd happily swap. Confused

DHandhisgrossfoot · 30/07/2014 00:56

The bathroom radiator is never even on! Grin

I think he does it because he knows my towel is cleaner and even he doesn't want to use his bum towel more than once.

Does he do what mine does and use the hand towel instead of walking 4 paces to the airing cupboard to geta bath towel?

Drives me and our little ones mad!
