To expect DP to put the towels in the right pile in the towel press.... hand towels on left... bath towels on right!!!

[Dabbles]

HE just dumps them in the middle!!! grrrrr.... it's not rocket science!!! tis drivign me mad!! SO mad I said I woudl start a thread about him!!!! lol...

And if he tries to talk his way out of it, don't put up with any flannel.

ba-dum-tish

And no soft-soap either....

Put enough pressure on him and he's sure to fold.

I'm turning into my Dad.

ROFL @ DaDaDa

God I am from now on going to call my airing cupboard a towel press - it sounds dead posh doesn't it - but it is just an airing cupboard and you are lucky that your DH opens yours!

Dabbles - sympathy from me

Dh has an inability to put towels in the right pile, linen in the right pile, plastic boxes/tubs in the right pile, our wee ones clothes in the right piles...

sometimes it gets to me, sometimes I ignore it, sometimes I patiently explain the system to him (again), I have even wondered about putting wee laminated labels on the shelves but i figure that's a step too far!

Am intrigued by pollywollydoodle's DPs face towel/bum towel combo - does he do his own version of top and tailing?

god you are freakish

are you expecting the towel police?

WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT ORDER THE TOWELS ARE IN? Surely you can tell what is a hand towel and a bath towel by the thickness when you take them out?

this is me and DH in reverse....he has OCD, I don't, he's wound up and tense, i'm not!

Currently our 'towel press' doesn't even have a door, so I have the upper hand at the mo.......

Are you Irish Dabbles? I have a hot press, but I hate kitchen cupboards being called presses. And you really do not want to know about the horrors of my hot press!

lol, yes stleger. well of descent. cupboards re always called 'presses'
ie: airing cupboard - hot press.. hence i confused people with my op!

ROFL at this thread, my DH would not know the towel press if it came up and introduce itself. Although he does get pissed off if I don't put the jam on the top shelf of the fridge.

You should leave him, no knowing what dastardly things he will be getting up to next. What if he puts the socks in the wrong drawer?

dear spillage i meant to write face flannel and bum flannel....but yes he does top and tail himself .....

please don't get me started on the Rules For Toe Nail Clipping in our house

Sounds to me like you need a combi boiler, that will get rid of your 'towell press' airing cupboard then you can find some other towell storage place malfunction to complain about!
men dont' KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between a hand towell and a bath towell!!! They just see something to dry themselves with.
Excuse me now I have a pile of damp towels to pick up from my bathroom floor.

can I ask when one uses a bum flannel?

We are clearly sub-hygenic in our house

A flannel devoted to his bottom? What's wrong with a bit of upside down shower-head action to clean his nether regions?

Totally with you re: toe nail clippings. Especially when DH has fungal infection....

Yeuuuuuwwwwww

bum flannel is for use when having a wash at the sink...no need for any flannel in the shower as he has a nice puff to buff himself with then!

by the way it's ME who is the slut in terms of toe nail clipping...

owing to husband treading on previous low flying clippings i am now restricted to cutting my toenails
1 after a bath,
2 in the said bath so all clippings can be contained within it
3 rinsing bath so all clippings are disposed of
wouldn't surpise me if he nips in with a bit of bleach for the drain after when i'm not looking

I think we Irish girls should set up a glossary of Irish terms and phrases to avoid confusion!

I am of scottish descent and they were always called presses, though it did tak me a while to click, but bum flannel?????

Don't think bum flannel is specifically Irish!

Twould be a bum facecloth though where I am from.

thats an oxymoron isnt it

oh god can;t be arsed to trawl through the whole thread - someone please explain what a towel press is. We have a towel pile - is it similar only flatter?

a press is a cupboard

only flatter
