      I’m turning 42 next summer and have been thinking about hosting a Towel Party; this image is going to be very helpful.

          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.

    Yet somehow the hotel towels are several times better at actually drying than my thick luxurious towels at home

      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.

    Always know where your towel is

    Stay at a better hotel then. This is like shopping at Walmart and complaining about how many people in there smell bad.

    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.

    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.

    I would love to know which god-tier cushiony towels you are using at home!

    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.

    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.

    Why are they heavy tho? I have a much thicker towel at home but it’s much lighter than hotel’s.
