Today, my mom informed me that my entire family puts their dirty towels on the towel rack in the bathroom instead of the hamper. I've been using their dirty towels after showers for as long as I remember. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, when I visited my daughter's apartment that she moved into about 3 months ago, I found out that she buys new underwear every time she runs out instead of washing her dirty ones. Her dirty ones have their own special hamper. FML
Today, I found out that my roommate of over 8 years assumed “the rag” I keep “above the toilet” was meant for wiping, and “the rag” on the separate towel rack was for washing your face. I have used the hand towel “above the toilet” to dry my hands after washing for a decade. FML
Today, my sister confessed that when she runs out of clean underwear, she uses mine. That wouldn't be so bad if she didn't also put it back in my dresser afterwards so I wouldn't notice. FML
Today, I was drying myself with a towel after a shower when I noticed a bad smell. After running out of toilet paper last night, one of my friends decided to use my clean towel to wipe herself instead. FML
Today, my new roommate moved in. It seems that instead of using toilet paper like a normal human being, she instead opts to use the nearest towel in reach. I found this out when I went to dry off with mine after a shower. FML
Today, I'm on a class trip to Washington DC. Last night, my roommate took a shower, and I decided that I would take one in the morning. This morning, I found out after I got out of the shower that my roommate used one towel for drying himself, and the other for a mat. He didn't hang either of them up. FML
Today, my daughter used my towel. She thought that because it was clean, it would be okay. She’s 27. FML
Today, I caught my mom using my toothbrush and washcloth again, despite her having both her own bathroom and supplies. I asked her to please not use mine, to which she called me an ungrateful bitch. My dad agreed. Yet they wonder why I've been desperately saving money to move out. FML
Today, I learned that my aunt, who lives with us, is using our chopsticks in her hair and putting them back in the utensil drawer without washing them. I'm the one that uses chopsticks the most. FML
Today, I found out my whole family has been mistakenly using the same toothbrush for over a month. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't follow your logic, kiddo. Doesn't everybody in your household have their own towel? Or... do you expect that everybody uses a towel only once, then places it in the hamper soaking wet, and then puts a new towel on the rack? Me, I use towels for a few days before they go in the laundry, unless they're really dirty. (It would be really expensive and take up a ton of space to have a set of towels for every day of the week.) Between uses, they sit on the rack to dry. When I was a kid, each had our own bath towel, and would do the same thing. If you leave wet towels in the hamper for a few days, they're going to get moldy and gross - that's why you let them dry out, first. You're not going to die from using the same towel as a blood relative.

Shouldn't you be clean after you shower??? Its like using a dish towel to dry your dishes after you clean them.

The ****, that's DISGUSTING. I don't care if a towel has been used to dry a CLEAN person, it still goes near their genitals and whatnot. It still gets wet, and dries again, and starts to stink, and gets all... mildewed. Especially if the whole family is doing it. FYL OP, because that is one gross bunch of people you're living with.

You didn't notice then, so what's the difference that it makes?

And how is this an FML? At least people are clean when they get out of the shower. This isn't that big of a deal.

I would be grossed out too op, don't feel bad! I use my towel maybe three times but it's my own towel! I wash my hair every other day so I use it twice to wipe myself off n once fo my hair. I wouldn't like the idea of using another persons towel or someone using my towel..

Why are you crying? At least it was your own families towel. And they used them right after washing. At least you weren't at a motel and had the manager call telling you the towels weren't clean right after you used them.

YDI, its a towel rack, as in where they dry, not where mommy hangs them for you to use. And jeez, what's the big deal? Germaphobe.

Just thought of something, what if she has a teenage brother that wanks it in the shower? I doubt you can spread an STD, but that would be sick....

I'd be more worried about the shower itself than the towels, then. Because the sensible thing to do after masturbating in the shower would be to wash your body and hands. So the towel would still be relatively "clean" once the guy dried himself off with it. The shower, on the other hand...what if he got spunk on the shower wall, or even worse, the faucet or hot/cold water handle, (anywhere the shower spray wouldn't normally reach) and it just...dried there? Ewwwww.
