    dish / hand towels in kitchen

    I’ve always had a couple towels around to dry hands or pots/dishes. Wet counter. I’d use paper towel to clean anything. Towels were for drying basically clean stuff.

    living with gf and I was made aware of new rules. She uses a ton more paper towels. So I put out some towels. Basically there are 3 categories of towels:

    1. drying hands that she doesn’t trust are fully clean
    2. Drying dishes as towel #1 is questionable cleanliness
    3. When a towel above is ready for the hamper, dry off the counters and it’s finished.

    plus many paper towels.

    Have I been poisoning myself for years or is this what is normal?

    I keep one for hands can be used to dry dishes

    Wife keeps one wet in the sink for randomly cleaning stuff and also randomly tosses whatever towels I have for hand in the laundry hamper leaving me with nothing to dry hands with

    I guess I just realized I use paper towels for the counter almost exclusively. If there’s just a little water I’ll use the dish drying towel

    So our neighbor's wife has now damaged their electrical again - they literally just got it fixed.

    First time was a blower and this time was a hose.

    Just get the woman a maid at this point - she's a damn liability.

    GF likes to cook for us. Her new thing is making the biggest mess you could possibly make then saying since she cooked I do the dishes. I would rather cook and clean then deal with her fucking disaster mess she makes.

    Was blowing debris (it was windy and rained for once) and somehow hit their inbound.

    Sprayed water directly into an outlet next to their garden.

    Or may have used a blower in the outlet she had previously just sprayed water in - I can't imagine the absurdity of what she does within the house.

    When we moved into the new place wife agreed to having to get rid of 5 items every day until the place wasn't cluttered.

    Meanwhile endless Amazon boxes and 3 chairs at a time are arriving.

    Excel sheet ensued - but the house always "needs" something.

    The premise was sound - but you can't stop amazon.

    You're clearly not buying enough, Amazon stock is down 16% this year. You can make it up to me by buying some Apple products through Amazon, maybe Google them first and click on all the ads.

    Understatement to say the least.

    MLS can wear whatever she wants at all times within reason.

    Also the absurdity of outfits depends on region:

    JH - 4
    LA - 7
    Vegas - 8ish depending on events
    Miami - 9.5ish depending on events
    Halloween - 12 at minimum

    All of that makes sense. Guessing paper towel usage is similar. Except homegirl implemented no paper towels. Works great.

    I just made a drive from Detroit to Tampa (not direct, several stops all over the place) - but still would have probably guessed wrong if posed the question of which was further East.

    Bonus odd tidbit: It has the highest elevation of any state capital or major city east of the Mississippi
