    I'll make the effort to go to the kitchen, but then I'll just stick my head underneath the chilled-water spigot that's sticking out of the fridge.

    Even worse, if it's in a hostel/at a friend's it means you're sharing that cup with other people. Slurping from the faucet ftw.

    Ditto. This also reminded me that I hang my clothes from the back of the bar, and no one else does.
    Other things I've noticed from this thread: I only shift with my left hand. I only space bar with my right hand.

    I don't generally hang my towels on the bar in the bathroom. In stead, I spread them over the made bed to dry out.

    And no use using shaving cream while you're in the shower unless you've let it get crazy long.

    I always eat with my fork in the right hand and my knife in my left. I do not cut with my right, switch the fork over, then eat. That is fucking ridiculous. My parents tried to break me of this habit, to which I just laughed at them and continued my own way. More efficient.

    As for the ongoing discussion, I sit when I wipe. Drink out of the faucet. Shave at the sink simply because I do not have a fog free mirror in the shower. And finally I use my towel until it starts to smell funny (week to 2 weeks) since I have a two towel rotation.

    One thing my roommates think is weird, but I'm slowly changing them to, it keeping the chips right next to the couch instead of in the pantry. I just grab the salsa, walk over to the couch, collapse, then jam all the salsa covered chips into my mouth that I can.

    Also, I need to have music while cooking. My mom hated this when I lived at home. I am thinking about investing in some speakers for the kitchen.

    We're the exact same, minus the chips. Gotta put that shit in the pantry (I'm assuming you don't have pets).

    What the fuck? I can honestly say I've never heard of that. That honestly boggles my mind. I'm trying to figure out a way how that makes sense, but I'm at a loss.

    I gave up after a minute because I felt an aneurysm coming on.

    Yeah, the point of the towel rack is so that there is a free flow of air on both sides thus the most efficient way of drying the whole towel to completion. Laying it out flat on the bed would mean that the clean sheets are sopping up some of the water but still that would make it harder for the water to evaporate quickly. With bath/shower water that isn't something germaphobes would like standing on clean sheets, even though it might not be that wrong. I really don't care, if I am out of towels I'll find the one wadded up on the floor that smells the least and use that.

    If towel-drying confuses you both, I really hope neither of you have particularly mentally challenging jobs.

    Focus: When I say words that end in "ounce", I inadvertently pronounce it as "al-nce". So, "bounce" sounds like "bal-nce", "announce" is "annal-nce", etc. I was probably 24 before anyone corrected me, the bastards.

    I used to do this, but it caused terrible arguements with my ex-wife, so I stopped.

    Are you a moron? I'm not even going to bother explaining why laying a wet towel flat on another piece of fabric to dry, especially your bed, is stupid. You either get it or you don't.

    I feel like I just got trolled, and I didn't even know it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a load of wet clothes I need to go lay on the carpet of our guest room.

    How fucking wet do your towels get? You people are making it sound like you're soaking up floods with them, or something.

    I use my towel right out of the shower and at best, it's just damp by the time I'm done with it.

    How long is your hair? I have long hair, and I can tell you that by the time I am done drying off my towel is drenched.

    My hair towel gets wet too, but these guys probably don't have hair as long as you or me.

    I'm talking about the towels they use on their bodies.

    However, they have more hair than us in other places. Especially by the comments in the Bush thread. I wonder how much water their hairy legs hold. I need therapy.

    Whoa. Hold on a minute sister. We can't even agree on the frequency of washing one towel, and you go and throw a SECOND TOWEL INTO THIS? ARE YOU INSANE?

    Don't forget flopping onto the bed / couch while still soaking wet.
