Is this bonkers - show flannel?

(Afterthought- daily mail/mirror journos you lazy cunting wankbadgers this is not for you to lift. Go report some news. I shall intersperse swears just in case. Ha.)

I like to make my bathroom feel as pampery as possible given it's poky and rented. I also use white flannels once or twice a day in my skincare routine so I keep a stash in a basket. Fuckbucket. When I was at a posh spa a few months ago I spent ten minutes studying how they'd rolled/tucked their flannels and now I use their technique so it feels even pamperier (word?). Cuntbiscuit.

Anyway, I've taken to leaving a 'show flannel' out on the side of the sink. I don't actually use it, I use the ones from the basket (which is on a shelf above eye level). But it sits there looking lovely and calm inviting me to look after myself. Arseweasel. I like to think guests might see it and feel they're at a fancy hotel or something. It's also angled at a perfect 45 degrees mirrored by the soap dish on the other side. Cuntfuckitybastardshitmonkey.

(Disclaimer: without being flippant it is very possible that I have OCD, I am under mental health support for anxiety and mood problems, before anyone gets too mean!)

Am I completely bonkers? Or do other people do this kind of thing too?

FlissPaps. I need to see a photo (or link) of the flannel fuckwit design before judgement can be passed. Cuntbadger

I aspire to show towels but I'm the kind of fucktastic daftie that forgets and dyes my hair with them. My mum has a fabulous collection of show towels. Wallow in your wanktastic bonkersness and enjoy.

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 09/01/2017 00:28

Never mind the OCD, OP - I think you might need that Tourette's sorting first Wink

ScuttlbuttHarpy · 09/01/2017 00:34

Oh my fucking god this thread is brill, I dont have a show flannel, once I've konmari'd my house I may consider it.

ScuttlbuttHarpy · 09/01/2017 00:34

ooohhh forgot to add knobjockey

3boys3dogshelp · 09/01/2017 00:36

This is my favourite thread ever. Wankbadger. I've just woken one of my kids up laughing after your post finished me off spun stubbly pissflaps

whitehandledkitchenknife · 09/01/2017 00:37

OP you are a fucktastic jizzguzzling heroine Star. Howling with laughter.

DireTires · 09/01/2017 00:38

My grandmother used to have a fucking show bottle of washing up liquid. It even had a dress. A bastard dress for the fucking washing up liquid show bottle.

I loved it. The fucking nut sucker.

3boys3dogshelp · 09/01/2017 00:40

I should add that I don't have a show or any flannel. Titwank. I count it as a win if my hand towel is still in the bathroom at the end of the day. Fuck knows what my family do with them all ineffectually mop up spills off the floor then scatter them about the place for me to find like a particularly shitty treasure hunt

FlutteringCunts · 09/01/2017 00:56

I live this thread! Not much to add on the flannel front.

I know it's not saying much as we are only on the 9th... but best thread of 2017

N0tfinished · 09/01/2017 01:28

No piece of haberdashery has a show life in our house. Babydoors. They are all used thoroughly and have no pretensions to grandeur. Arseicing. Grab one, clean yer gob, then drop on floor for a quick foot-mopping. Boil wash & repeat. Pisspenis

Namechangingbastard · 09/01/2017 09:19

Oh now I really want to buy a posh flannel. fannybracket. How do you fold it? Twatkisser.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 09/01/2017 09:33

I think you would love my dbrother op. Bumcrack. Although he is gay and in a ltr, and you are no doubt very happily cuntingly paired off yourself, I'd even suggest he is your shithead of a soulmate. Get this: in his utterly pristine and perfect downstairs loo, there is NO hand towel, just a pile of sparkling arse large white thin flannels rolled up in a basket bugger. Each guest uses a twatting new one of these to dry their hands and drop it into a small laundry bin on their way out. It is honestly wank like being at the dick Savoy cunt Hotel!

BingBongBingBong · 09/01/2017 09:46

I want a fucking show flannel now. Loving the creative swears, too. Cumbubble wankstain asshats

DireTires · 09/01/2017 09:56

bibbitybobbityyhat I think that sounds positively wonderful. Shitface. No show flannels but rather spa like ambience. Lady garden.

StrangeLookingParasite · 10/01/2017 09:08

Oh god, I've nearly hurt myself laughing at this.

Arsebiscuit.

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 10/01/2017 09:15

This is epic. I'm off sick with a migraine, so have the screen turned down to near off and am trying to read without getting nauseous, but am now giggling to myself, fuck nuggets, and feeling better already, skittletits.

OP, perfectly normal, but not in my house as my DP would use them for his athletes foot or something.

Yankeedoodledickhead · 10/01/2017 09:23

Every thread should be like this one arsefistingbumfuckery

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 10/01/2017 09:24

I am really truly laughing out loud at this thread.
Can't read it properly as my shoulders are shaking so much

CondensedMilkSarnies · 10/01/2017 09:28

I have fucking cunting show wanky towels. They make my jizz buggering bathroom look the bollocks Grin

MardAsSnails · 10/01/2017 09:32

When I got my first house and everything was fucknuggetting tatty as arsebiscuiting hell, I had my two blue show flannels as my fucking cheap tarting the miserable fuckin bathroom up.

Small thing make big fucking differences.

Not now. I'm now a lazy cunt. that swear wasn't even for DM purposes - I just found it an appropriate word

CondensedMilkSarnies · 10/01/2017 09:33

I reckon we're safe from the Daily Fail but I bet Home and Gardens will snap this up!

WallToWallDrugs · 10/01/2017 09:34

My mum has cocksnortingfuckstick show towels, and ninefingeredshitehawk show soap.

Love this thread Grin . Cocknocker.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/01/2017 09:40

I have a motherfucking show flannel. Its very 70's looking so I believe it puts me on the hipster category. Not that that is anything to brag about. Shitkickers.
