Topic: I want to slap my brother.

So, my other two roommates are considerate about towels (even though me and them dont share -- 2 bathrooms, they have one set, me and my brother the other set)

They will use and reuse the same one a couple times.

Now, they are all ball players, and all go practice daily, lift daily. Therefore they take multiple showers which is cool.

What isn't cool is that MY BROTHER USES A DIFFERENT TOWEL EACH TIME. Now, we only have 8 towels total.

I use one towel twice, and get a shower daily. He uses 3 per day.

And he thinks we are supposed to take TURNS washing them when he uses them 3 times as much as I do? Sure, I'll do my share, but shit...when I need to take a shower and there are NO clean towels because someone else wont wash em, and because they use so many *grumble*

What you need to do is take your half of the towels and keep 'em stashed under your bed. Then keep a jar of vaseline near them, maybe even wrapped in a towel. If your brother snoops around and finds them, he certainly won't touch them after that.

of course, he ran out of shampoo due to excessive showers too (really, do you need one when you wake up, one after your first practice, then one after weight lifting?)

Does he buy more?

no. he starts using mine. THEN itll be my turn to buy more shampoo, you just watch.

Next year, im getting a different apartment

I have my own stack of ten luxury towels in my wardrobe.

Any fucker who touches them gets a fist to the face.

I prefer bath sheets; "towels" never wrap around me right. I hate being a big guy.

For both my older brother and my younger brother, I simply begin to buy things they don't like. I.e. My little Bro has a habit of drinking up all the pop in the house, I simply start buying diet which he doesn't like and I don't mind(not like it hurting me to get diet anyhow). The only thing that pisses me off is he doesn't do any chores/clean up, God forbid he cleans the crapper or shower once and a while.

What.. Are you not allowed to buy your OWN towels? Seriously, just buy two or so, and you'll be set. And lay the smack down if he keeps whoring them up. Seriously, if its such a big concern just LET HIM KNOW instead of whining on a message board.

Dont try some subliminal techniques that causes him to think really hard to get your point, just fucking tell the guy

Tell him to stop using so many goddamn towels, that you use them too! You're brothers, get pissed at each other, have a fight, solve the problem, and get over it

Like, seriously!

I've told him multiple times that he can use the same towel for a couple showers. just hang it up.

But he doesn't listen.

And I'm not whining, I'm ranting.

I never SAID you were ranting in the first place.. And if he doesn't listen.. Well.. No offense or anything but he isn't a very good brother. How ignorant or inconsiderate does he need to be to not comply to his own brother's request?

Keep on reminding him untill it becomes unbearable for him and he can no longer take your whining. If he persists.. Then you'll just have to purchase your own towels since your brother uses so goddamn many.

yeah. i plan to keep goin on him about it.

I bought 4 more towels the other day because I thought that our other roommates were usin em. I found they werent, but that my brother goes through towels like crazy.

I may just go take like 4 out the closet, claim them as my own, and let hi use the rest, and we can just wash our own towels.

Buy him a bunch of pink towels for his birthday, preferably embroidered with his name in calligraphy. Watch hilarity ensue!

Do you know what kind of things grow on a wet, unwashed, towel?

I use a diferent towel every day. Granted, my parents also have like 30+ towels. Using the same towel multiple days is just.. ugh. I'll do it if I have to, but I'd rather just use a new one. Wet towels actually make me feel more wet when I use them. I have this thing where I MUST be dry before I leave the bathroom. Sometimes I have to use 2 towels to accomplish this goal because there are about 10 or so towels that are really really thin, but anyway. That is my story.

But I also assume you are normal and only get one shower a day (save for extreme circumstances of course).

when it is your turn to do the laundry just put his towels back in the closet without washing them.

That's why you hang it up so it dries right away.

You are dirty. You take a shower. You become clean. You dry your clean body off with a clean towel. How is that towel dirty?

Theoretically when you come out of the shower, you're the cleanest thing in the house. Using a towel would make you dirty.

It's not something people hear about.
