valjumps46 0 #1 September 27, 2006 My roommate keeps his towel in our shared bathroom. Frankly it stinks. I once suggested that we both leave our towels in our own rooms. He was completely against that and not open to any negotiations. What is the correct way to tell him how I feel? Its a sticky situation."I'm going to marry my novels and have short stories for children." BLuE sKiES & aPpLE PIeS oh and I'm "M" A-ZIng Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #7 September 28, 2006 In the interest of roomie harmony, just wash it when you do your own laundry. You could make a fuss about it, but you've got to live with this person, so don't piss them off over something so minor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it smells just tell him to wash it - he will probably find it nicer to use then as well.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know I realize that all is soaped & sudded in the washer but... am I the only one who washes the particularly narly items (should there be any) separately just to make absolutely sure the narliness doesn't accidentally infect my other pure & innocent clothing?Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

It ain't the crabs we're worried about. It's the smelly boy germs. Just ask your mom! The "gnarly stuff" I wash separately is the stuff I use to work in the yard ... the garden digging stuff, the staining my deck stuff, the building my fence stuff. I'd rather not wash the things I stain my deck in with the things I go to work in. But I'm just a girl. We're like that with our clothes!
