To want a towel to dry my hands?

[ItsAllABit]

My sister never has a towel in her downstairs toilet so everytime I wash my hands I have to ask her for a towel. She used to just go and get me one but is now rolling her eyes everytime I ask. Tonight we were there and when I came out of the bathroom I asked her for a towel. Everyone in the room burst out laughing and she rolled her eyes and said “wipe them in your hair”. She basically went on to say that she’s sick of me asking for a towel, she thinks I’m attention seeking and making a massive song and dance all the time and it’s boring. I said it’s perfectly normal to want to wash and dry your hands after using the toilet!!?

anyway when we left I asked DH why he was laughing earlier and he said “because you say the same thing everytime, it’s funny because she gets so wound up by it and when you went in there she said “watch her come out banging on about a towel” so everyone was waiting for you to say it”

Isnt it normal to want to dry your hands after washing them?? Am I being the sick here? DH agrees with my sister apparently that I’m making a song and dance

@kanyoukan

princessy to want to wash and dry your hands after going to the toilet????

I think not.

its minging not to.
it's rude not supply soap and a hand towel to guests.

You don't need to wash your hands if you don't actually wipe your arse 😉

I would assume it’s more she’s a clatty git who is embarrassed enough to pretend in public.

I have a hand towel in every bathroom and replace the one in the downstairs loo and the kitchen daily.

@SkylightSkylight what’s minging about clean wet hands? There are clearly no barriers for the OP washing her hands so they are clean and a little soggy.

If theres a towel, i use the towel. If there isnt i just wipe on my pants 🤷🏻‍♀️ You are definitely making a song and dance.

@californiakiss command hook & hand towels for Christmas then. Sorted!!

Why can't I dry my hands on a tea towel?? That's the only thing I really use a tea towel for? Maybe occasionally get something out of the oven if I can't be arsed finding the oven glove.
What does everyone use a tea towel for if not that?? Am I being an adult the wrong way?!

@ItsAllABit do you not have a hand towel in your kitchen??

@GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing

Everyone I know, because no one I know is manky enough to dry their hands on the tea towel.

A yea towel is for drying crockery

Why not?

is the crockery clean though?

clean hand…clean crockery I can’t see the problem. Do you dry your hands on a separate towel in between washing dishes and drying them?

@ItsAllABit how old is your sister? Does she have any difficulties? How long has she lived in her own house?

What on earth is princessy about expecting there to be a towel in the toilet????

Dry your hands on her hair.

The tea towels are covered in food, there's no loo roll and the soap is black. Why are you still going to her house?

Just curious… what do you all do in public when their aren’t any towels? I mean surely you just use your clothes or wave your hands about, right?

@saltinesandcoffeecups yes I would too & even in some that do have a towel (where the home owner seems to think you just put one in there & leave it to fester)

Fair comment - but we're talking about someone's house here. Would you expect your guests in your home to dry their hands in their hair or on their clothes? I have done both of these in friends' homes but I don't think it's a big ask to put a towel out for your guests?

Living room curtains

@saltinesandcoffeecups I think you've misread my post.

I second this.

Hook on the back of the loo door.

This actually made me laugh out loud 😂

Stop asking for a towel and start vigorously shaking your hands dry right next to your sister. Preferably while she's seated so you can splash her face.

When she complains just shrug and say "there was no towel, what do you expect"

If she doesn't get the hint start saying "be grateful it's only piss" or just wiping your hands on her hair.
