I'm turning 42 next summer and have been thinking about hosting a Towel Party; this image is going to be very helpful.
What's a towel party, is it a theme and everyone just wears their best towel?
Half the people are going to think it's an orgy and everyone will be disappointed.
It's a reference to the book Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where:
a) the number 42 plays a significant role b) the towel is hailed as the most useful thing a galaxy hitchhiker could possibly posses.
So Don't Panic and don't forget your towel :)
A stranger on the Internet approves of this plan. Please provide updates. Will there be a Vogon poetry recital?
I think the physical and psychological distress that tend to result from Vogon poetry would be problematic for the celebrational mood I'm hoping to achieve, but there will definitely be gorgeous sandwiches crafted by the loving hands of an artisan of intergalactic renown.
I've never seen a recipe for Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters that appealed to me, but I'm hoping to get that sorted as well.
Always know where your towel is
Be the kind of frood who knows where their towel is
A real hoopy!
That OP, he's a really hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.
I was really hoping I'd find this here.
Yet somehow the hotel towels are several times better at actually drying than my thick luxurious towels at home
Don't use softener
Are you using fabric softener? That makes your towel less absorbent. If you're using detergent with built in softener it'll do the same.
Wash your towels with a cup of vinegar to remove the softener.
Should I shower with vinegar and then use my crappy home towel?
And/or borax in the machine with the soap. Helps a lot.
Growing up, all the towels we had at home were stolen from hotels.
Growing up we never went to hotels or anywhere, really. Mother stole our towels from grandma, who got them free from the grocery store on rewards points in the 70's.
When you shop for towels, don't get a towel, get a "bath sheet". They are XL towels
Fuck that, beach towel ftw
Fuck that, aircraft detailer.
Stay at a better hotel then. This is like shopping at Walmart and complaining about how many people in there smell bad.
If only my company allowed me to book my own hotels while traveling for work...
Oh, well then yours is probably the best solution then.
Has anyone noticed hotels are also giving you less towels overall? Last hotel I stayed at I got one bathtowel, one hand towel and a washcloth. Guess If I spill anything I'll just clean it with the bath mat?
What else should they give you by default? Genuinely asking.
Usually it's at two of everything. Especially now that housekeeping only stops by once per stay these days.
Two stories:
The last time I stayed in a Motel 6, maybe 35 years ago, the towel was practically tissue paper.
I once delivered a box of towels to the Senate Club at the Forum (back when the Lakers played there), and wow did I ever see how the wealthy live! Those were the biggest, most luxurious towels I’ve ever felt.
I have had to stay in a lot of hotels and the good the bad and the disgusting, it doesn't matter.
I am bringing my own fucking towel. You can say "stay at a nicer place" all you want. but those who can afford those places, are also those who can affod to be the sickest, most perverted fuckers out there and employees that give far less a fuck's worth of care.
I would love to know which god-tier cushiony towels you are using at home!
TF you mean sometimes? Haven't you read the manual?
This, but my pillow. Since I learned how amazing latex foam pillows are, I've had a hard time sleeping on regular pillows ever since.
Nice hotels have a pillow menu.
A towel menu ?!?!? I feel like I've only used 2 types of towels before . Walmart towels and hotel towels . And I guess beach towels .
Pillow menu. Not towel menu. You can ask the hotel for a latex pillow or foam or soft or hard or duck feathers etc.
Also the idea of a used pillow
I think you're supposed to bring your towel
Same with toilet paper ply.
This is how I feel about pillows
You and your hotel both use books as towels?
Yes
Why are they heavy tho? I have a much thicker towel at home but it's much lighter than hotel's.
All the stale cum
