Know where your towel is
Things I learned today:
1. Douglas Adams was right - one should always, ALWAYS, know where one’s towel is.
2. Towels left in the women’s showers on Level 3, even for a short time, are apparently fair game for anyone:-
a) who forget theirs;
b) are not be bothered to bring one in;
c) underestimates their surface area and needs a back-up towel;
d) has a low regard for their own hygiene, and/or
e) considers their own comfort more important than others
3. Being caught in the act of using someone else’s towel is apparently not as embarrassing as one might expect.
4. Simply handing over a wet towel to the rightful owner with a lame “Sorry… it’s not that damp” is pathetic.
5. I repeat. Pathetic.
6. Few people will willingly rub their bodies with a personal item already used by a stranger . Today I discovered that includes me.
7. The paper towels in the basin area are somewhat absorbent. Those without sufficient wiping equipment should try this FIRST.
Should anyone else be in need of a towel, there will now be a blue, daggy towel in the change room. Share it at your peril. I will not be laundering it.

The change rooms at my wife’s work had such a build up of towels that recently a committee decided that an email should be sent out to the company with the warning that unless the towels were claimed, they would be removed from the change rooms and disposed of.
This wasn’t all that effective, so the towels were gathered up (more than 30 from only 3-4 changerooms), laundered and then donated to the good folks at http://www.unitedway.com.au/.
On another note I collect soaps from hotels I stay at (really, who doesnt?) but instead of stashing them at home stash them in the change rooms at work. I’d recommend this, as a fresh mini soap stolen from some 5 star hotel is much nicer than the wall mounted liquid stuff.
