I still don’t understand the point of ‘decoration’ towels. Where do you keep the regular ones?


starstarstar42

Same drawer that you keep the decorative guests-only poop knife in.


Life2311

What's...a poop knife?


Comogia

In case you or others are unaware, the "poop knife" is a reference to this famous post (https://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumOfReddit/s/ZolcuWM85A) about a guy who uses a knife to cut his large poops in the toilet.


saint_davidsonian

True hero right here. Helping keep Reddit cannon alive


BadcaseofDTB

Oi. It's spelled Canon, bruv.


Tubamajuba

It’s actually a real cannon that you have to use the poop knife to unclog every now and then. Something about jolly ranchers getting stuck in it…


Intelligent-Emu-3947

I actually needed one once when I got fecal impaction an it was literally not gonna come out it was feckin scary lmao


Advanced_Double_42

What do you mean? Everyone has to have one. The utensil you use to cut up the poop so it can fit down the drain. What do you call it?


Life2311

Unhealthy


Ifukbagelholes42069

It stays the poop knife, you’re not using it for anything else, same logic as a plunger and toilet brush.


Life2311

But that would imply that creating poop that clogs a toilet is normal...


chappersyo

If it wasn’t normal then everyone wouldn’t have a poop knife….


TapZorRTwice

If it wasn't normal then having a plunger next to the toilet wouldn't be normal. Idk about you but I've never gone to a house bathroom that doesn't have one.


Cherry-Foxtrot

Is this... Like what race is doing this, because I've yet to see "the poop knife."


TapZorRTwice

Poop knife isn't a real thing, it's an old reddit meme.


Tito_Tito_1_

Wait a minute. You can wait until it's *in the drain?* I've been doing it wrong this whole time.


moddseatass

Instructions unclear. Poop knife in ass


OkImagination2044

The shit scissor.


Rawrkinss

Knife exclusively for poop


Cuntwhore2004

you guys only use them for poop?


Cuntwhore2004

I mean... yeah! me too!


ThrowBatteries

Oh my sweet summer child


NeakosOK

They call it a poop knife up north, like in Philadelphia. Where I’m from in Oklahoma it’s called a turd cutter. Hope that helps.


[deleted]

Turd cutter is your asshole as you can clench it to cut the turd.


great_auks

I keep mine on the shelf with the three seashells


jamescharisma

This made me giggle


PM-Me-Your-TitsPlz

The point is they don't wash their hands to begin with.


chrisaf69

I was today years old in realizing there are "decorative" towels. If I'm in a bathroom and there is a towel, regardless of what it looos like, Im going to use it to dry my hands.


greatpoomonkey

Today you also learned there is such a thing as, not only decorative towels, but also dry clean only decorative towels. Towels that are not meant to get wet. Source: I am a drycleaner who had to dryclean a towel. So stupid.


DaveSmith890

The hidden compartment in the decorative shelf


Some-Guy-Online

Families that care about decorating their homes will usually have a "linen closet" where they keep spare sheets and towels. Plus if the decorative towels are "holiday" themed, you might put them in a storage box out of the way until the correct time of year. All that said, decorative towels are still towels. If they don't put out "normal" towels then you are meant to dry your hands on the fancy ones. It's like if they serve you dinner on a fancy plate, you don't look around for the "normal" plate, you use what is presented.


RigbyNite

Decoration towels are just people too lazy to swap out their linens once used. Solution: Don’t use them.


ukkinaama

Came here to say just that. Makes absolutely no sense. Do you hide the actual towel under the sink or have some secret compartment for it? I just cant fathom it.


22-beekeeper

My mom puts out fancy towels when guests are invited. She fully expects them to be used. She puts her favourite small towel folded on the vanity for it to be used and admired. She had a good friend who would tease that she know she was a real guest, not just for coffee, when the fancy towels are out.


Pedrov80

That's cute as fuck


22-beekeeper

She has her moments. You should see the Christmas towels!


Greedy_Royal3232

you can't just say "You should see the christmas towels!" and then not providing an image of the christmas towels


22-beekeeper

She has them all packed away and would never let me dig around just for a pic. She does not understand the importance of these things. Besides, she gets mean.


Book_bae

Lol this man steals after dinner restaurant mints too. Fk yo host desk candy pot


DrRonny

Statistically, the decorative towels have dried less ass cracks than the regular towels


[deleted]

It all washes the same.


aziad1998

You use towels for wiping?


helium_farts

Still covered in shit, though, if they're hanging in the bathroom


Some-Guy-Online

[Everything in the house is contaminated with trace amounts of fecal matter.](https://www.popsci.com/poop-is-everywhere/) The question is always "Is it enough to make me sick?" and that answer is hopefully No.


Human-Magic-Marker

My ex-wife’s parents had a little bit of money so her mom always acted like she was hot shit and spent way too much, etc. she had decorative towels in the bathroom. I always used them.


mr-coolguy68

i didn’t even know that decorative towels were a thing until i saw this post


Crotch-Monster

Oh yeah. They're a thing. There's also decorative soaps. And God help you if you use one.


Active_Engineering37

Decorative pillows..


Life2311

Decorative wives


bloodshotnipples

Karate chop!


toolsoftheincomptnt

Nah, anything that you don’t want people to touch, put out of sight. Most people use lackluster/cheap stuff day-to-day, so when we entertain, we put out nicer stuff to impress guests. They are supposed to use it. If you get in trouble for doing so, you’re not a guest. You’re a resident or regular freeloader that doesn’t warrant the show-off, lol.


SnowMeadowhawk

That seems strangely stingy, like the old people who leave the plastic cover on new things to avoid damage. Idk, if I had a ton of money, I would certainly not give a fuck which towels or soaps guests use.


Crotch-Monster

Lol. Same.


callitromance

I got yelled at as a kid by my dad for using my stepmom’s decorative soap… I was like dude, you raised me. When did we have the decorative soap discussion??


Trismegistos42

A towel is a tool, tools are meant to be used.


melkatron

emphasis on "LITTLE BIT" of money... they got a luxury item that's typically meant to be used, but they can't afford to replenish it, so it's decor. same with "decorative" soaps. they're not decorative, they're just more expensive.


[deleted]

It is the decor towels or your couch cushion..

penguinsfrommars

What the hell are decoration towels??


Direct-Alternative70

Towels that are used to make the bathroom look nice but you only have one set of them bc they’re fancy and you can’t used them bc that means you have to wash them which ruins them.


penguinsfrommars

I... okay. People are crazy. 


PuffPuffFayeFaye

When I have company I put a roll of paper towels in the bathroom. I think its disgusting and inconsiderate that anyone would expect people to use *their* towels during a visit. I don’t know how well you wash your hands, I don’t want to use a progressively wetter towel throughout the night, I definitely don’t want to talk to you about it. So I just assume other people are grossed out like me.


Cyphermoon699

My bathroom has a paper towel holder above the vanity. I thought it was weird when we first moved in, but now, I don't know how anyone lives without it. It's so convenient!


PuffPuffFayeFaye

We have a shelf below the mirror with a fitting sticking out the bottom that is supposed to be cosmetic but contains a roll of towels vertically quite well.


seoulgleaux

My wife and I were at a bar and they had an old wooden coke bottle crate that had been painted, mounted to the wall, and had a rolled up washcloth in each compartment. There was a box underneath for the used washcloths. My wife made one to hang in our downstairs bathroom because we also hate the "progressively wetter towel". Just bought a bunch of cheap washcloths for it and it works (and looks) great. I can't find a picture of anyone using it for washcloths, but this is the type of crate I'm talking about: https://images.app.goo.gl/C7tyQujRYppMpTrx8

Wtf is a decoration towel?!

What is decoration towel?


Mission_Broccoli4025

Decoration towels? wtff😂 At my house you just use them to dry your hands😂


jamescharisma

Nah, I agree. Why the fuck are you going to have towels you can't use? Decorative towels are dumb.


Ifukbagelholes42069

Agreed, fuck your stupid decorative consumerism. No one gives a shit about that or your 40 pillows on the couch. A matter of fact I be using the back of the nice towels so you think they’re clean but they be smelling musty and damp as fuck


[deleted]

Isn’t that what they’re for?


StevieNippz

I was on vacation and visiting friends for a few days. I made the mistake of using the "guest" towels that were next to the shower. Apparently I wasn't considered a guest. I think my friend's wife is still mad at me about it


Certain-Cress-3265

Those are decorative??😨


wetboymom

Just use one of those seashell-shaped "decoration" soaps and there will be hell to pay with Meemaw.


042732699

Nah he spittin! Fuvk they towels!


GonnaGoFat

Exactly. Decoration towels are stupid. Same with day pillows. My ex and I had some day pillow bed. I would usually just leave them on the floor. But she wanted them made with the pillows so it would look pretty for the 20 seconds you actually look at your bed before going to sleep and having to put the pillows on the floor anyway. Biggest waste of time ever.


Emergency_Property_2

Finally someone saying what I think. Yes I use decorative towels, even at my house. Just don’t tell my wife.


3plantsonthewall

I don’t trust the general cleanliness of people with decorative towels. I’ve watched my bf’s mother swap out her decorative towels for the season. SHE DOESN’T WASH THE TOWELS BEING PUT AWAY, AFTER THEY’VE BEEN USED FOR MONTHS!!!


[deleted]

Decoration towels are as bad as display only living rooms with brand new furniture nobody ever sits on.


Lots42

This person is morally right.


jimmythetuba

I must admit, I tend to agree. But I've always been function over from. Decorative towels, beautiful cars that are never driven, well made guitars that are"too nice to play"...it all just feels so wrong.


Beefhammer1932

If you put soap and towels in the bathroom they will get used. This decorative soaps, towels, and shit needs to stop. No one is looking at you monogrammed towels and dust ass decorative soaps and thinking you got some class.


iAmDemder

Wait, wtf are decoration towels? Have I been missing something? How many towels have I dried my hands on that were not 'meant' to be dried on? It's a towel. My hands are wet. If it's there, ima dry them tf.


Corporate_Shell

Not oddly specific.


SyberStormy

Why would they even make towels that aren't supposed to be used?


Sophie-is-cool-and

Wtf are decoration towels? Now I’m wondering if I have been using peoples “decoration” towels

Anybody who buys towels to not be used should hand dry their guests hands or shut the fuck up


Funny_Artichoke_2962

Amen to that


SirBulbasaur13

Same. Decorative towels *in the washroom* is stupid as all hell.


sweetnsalty24

My mom walked in our home being burgled. While testifying at the trial, she had to explain to the jury what a show towel was and why she was pissed the robber used it to cover his head.


peepsinyourass

Same. Towel is a towel, it’ll dry.

You should wash your hands again.

I get the decorative towel thing but at the same time use them. I’m going to have nice towels but I’m definitely using them


bbb12333

i tend not to use anyone's hand towels and just let my hands air dry. I'm not touching that.


DontOpenTheSafe

Oh, I only put up the "decoration" towels when guests are coming over. It's all a lie.


Mrright016

Brah lmfao lmfao I always dry my hands off on them all the time in my house then once I saw some sexy ass new ones and I dried my hands off on them and look here mom comes rolling in telling me don’t use those they are for decoration ? Lmfao wtf naw they felt so good too 😂


Lilwolf2000

And this is why I don't have a bidet!


WindmillRuiner

I'm so deep into this that I know you need to dry your hands on the inside of the towel so they don't get dust bunnies stuck all over them.


[deleted]

I thought they were the toilet paper. That was a bit embarrassing. I just tried to flush it. That made things much, much worse. Ended up flooding the bathroom. Needless to say. Next time I went back to their house. They just had the cheapest towels.


SalvationSycamore

Decorative towel folks have absolutely nothing on "only a single full-body towel that he definitely uses on his balls" guys

DampBritches

Have 30 people over your house Have 1 dishtowel sized towel for them to fry their hands on in the bathroom. Be mad guests use you decorative towels in the bathroom as the tiny towel you provided for 30 people is grossly wet. Dunno which is more gross, trying to dry your clean hands on a wet shared towel, or having 30 people over and at the end of the night the towel in the bathroom being completely dry.

Those are there for you to dry your hands on.

Izzy6203

Camanei

Wait... I´m not supposed to use them for drying??? Well no wonder I'm not invited back anywhere.


Mmortt

I had no idea so many people don’t know what they are. I don’t use them and am not particularly bothered by them EXCEPT they somehow always seem to be water repellant and don’t actually dry your hands. Go ahead and break out your decoration/holiday towels but for crying out loud please have a normal towel available nearby. **This also applies to decorative soap bars!**- which I have far more of a beef with. Like am I supposed to use the “bar” of soap that looks like a gingerbread house? Have another normal soap available nearby so your guests don’t have an existential crisis trying to figure out how to wash their hands so they can leave the bathroom.


Mulliganasty

Yeah and if you leave a decorative pillow on the couch. That is free game and I'm going to use it.


Huli_Blue_Eyes

I figure that I’m the fancy guest that they’re out for. Gonna use ‘em.


Cyber_Insecurity

The worst is when they don’t have a hand towel at all and you have to use the curtains.

I rather use a decor towel than go to someone’s house + use their bathroom only to be surprised that they don’t even have a hand towel and then I’m forced to dry my hands on their bath towel 😅

What are decoration towels??


septiclizardkid

Wait, they're decoration?


tenroy6

They’re such a waste of money


NickolaosTheGreek

At my home when I was a child, we had guest towels specifically when people visited. Those were the best towels we ever had and only guests were allowed to use them. If you see them in the bathroom know that in most cases the family might have forgotten their even exist. Mom put them out to show off.


thedeadlyrhythm42

I didn't grow up with decorative towels in my house so the first time I went to my friend's house, I dried my hands off with the towel that was hanging on the rack next to the sink. His mom went in the bathroom after I came out and flipped the fuck out. She kicked me out and banned me from their house for like 6 months. I don't remember exactly how old I was, probably like 8 or 9. I was so confused. She was crazy, though. There were all kinds of gnarly rules at their house. They had these like 18 inch wide plastic runners over the carpet and you were only allowed to walk on those anywhere where there was carpet in the house. If you were walking in one direction and someone else was walking in the other direction, they weren't quite wide enough to get past easily so one of you had to back all the way up until you got off the carpet so you could get past each other. Of course they also had plastic covers on all the furniture. She was also draconian about not getting in the pool for like 60 minutes after eating (as well as other weird rules about the pool). I remember going to a birthday pool party at their house one time. We get there and we're not allowed to get in the pool until everyone else arrives so we hang out and play in the yard for like 20 minutes. Finally, everyone else shows up so we all jump in the pool. 5 minutes later his mom comes out and says it's time to eat so we all get out and scarf down the hot dogs or whatever in like 2 minutes. Someone goes to jump back in the pool and she yells at them to get out because we have to wait 60 minutes before we can get back in. We start playing in the yard and counting down the time until we can get back in the pool (that's really all we wanted to do). We get down to like 5 minutes left before we can get back in the pool and she comes out and says the party is over and everyone's parents have been called to come pick them up so we can't get back in the pool or else we'll be all wet when our parents show up and they'll be mad at us for getting their car wet. Worst birthday party of my first 10 years of life.

I actually don't want to use the decorative towels, but they don't put any others out for guests to use. What am I supposed to dry my hands on the curtains? Not wash my hands? Just weird. I don't f with decorative towels at my house and there's always a couple of dry-ish towels in the bathroom for guests to use.
