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

She should have a towel .However maybe she doesnt want one who knows! Odd .Anyway next time take some kitchen roll from home /face flannel and use that?

That’s not the point. The point is if your hands are wet, you want a towel, surely? So odd to to have a towel.

I have dried my hands on my hair, it’s thick and curly, but not everyone would want to get their hair wet, most people surely want a towel, that’s normal.

The towel she gives you probably isn’t clean, I always feel a bit gross using other peoples hand towels as you don’t know what they’ve used it for

It’s impossible to dry your hands on toilet paper, it just disintegrates i to little bits all over your hands.

She’s BU. We didn’t have a towel rail in the downstairs loo but bought an adhesive hook and stuck it on the wall for the towel. Take a flannel in your pocket when you visit her I guess!

It certainly is a thread of extremes. Not withstanding the hygiene aspect I would have thought that any normal person would want to wash the grunge off their hands after lambing/cleaning pigs.

I hate having sticky hands.

I had no idea petticoats were a thing in 2022.

Slips I've heard of, even Skims for those fashionistas amongst us. But genuinely never heard of someone wearing a petticoat.

Everyday is a school day.

Even after a poo?

Personally I'd just dry my hands on a bit of loo roll but it's weird she doesn't have one.

You need to use quite a lot of toilet paper for drying hands. It’s annoying (and wasteful) but sometimes there’s no proper paper towels in public toilets.

I’d take my own small towel and make sure I never ate anything she had touched!

Nice

I remember having spare separate towels for guests especially after the pandemic and always change the towel if people are visiting . Towels washed regularly anyway

Buy her one of those over door hooks and a couple of hand towels for Christmas 😆

@QS90 Your post made me think of a “shy Di” picture at the kindergarten with a very sheer skirt. Some, it’s an accident.

This is spot on, there’s some other agenda in this, like jealousy,so stop going over to her house. My sister has been like this for years with me. I am NC with her.

😂😂😂😂😂

🧐 Petticoat?

😆😆😆😆

@Cruisebabe1 NC best policy if she doesn't wash her hands after going to the loo😂

It’s normal to have a towel in the loo yes. But you know your sister doesn’t, yet you make a song and dance about it every time. Go upstairs (if there is on there?) or wash your hands in the kitchen and use a tea towel.

I'm terrible for leaving handtowels. I usually have a load of bath towels hanging on the hooks behind the door or on the radiator or the bannister but I don't have a hand towel in my kitchen. I use a tea towel. But I have loads of them and wash them regularly. --There's also 90 percent of the time some washing on the side with a towel on the top-

Wipe your hands down the wall or on the sofa next time!

Asking for a towel doesn’t qualify as either making a ‘’song and dance’’ or ‘’banging on.’’ Ok, you might ask every time, but you only ask once.

Your sister is trying to humiliate you and make you seem stupid unnecessarily and I’d be annoyed. She clearly doesn’t wash her hands after the toilet very often!

She should just put a bloody towel in there, or kitchen towel!

Your sister and your husband are weird.

The black soap made me laugh and took me back to washing my hands after cleaning out the grate. I'd take a packet of wet wipes with me, no way would I dry my hands on your sister's dirty towels. Hasn't she heard of cross contamination? Don't forget to wipe the door handle😁
