A big thing for me, a pet peeve for me you know like you can go to a hotel and you know they refresh your towels and you know you can get a new towel every day, new washcloth and I hope people are using washcloths.
Speaker 2:I hope they're using washcloths. Are they using their hand?
Speaker 1:Or the bar of soap with all kind of body parts on it. But let's talk about these sour towels that are in in the closet and they.
Speaker 2:You know you just finish washing. Maybe they kept it in the the washing machine too long and you get that little dookie smell, I think, before you even use it?
Speaker 1:no, I think, I. I think these towels have been around for a few years.
Speaker 2:And I think when people wash them, they still smell sour when they come out the washer, they still smell like booty.
Speaker 1:And then when you dry them, it's heating up the funk. I don't know what it is, but I used a sour towel at somebody's house, oh no.
Speaker 2:And my face was stank for face for two days, you know what? Because you do wash with that towel like it got like an after scent you know like, if you smell like dukey I don't.
Speaker 1:I kept like looking around and sniffing and I'm like, and I was smelling my hair and I'm like, what is that smell?
Speaker 2:and then I had to like your face, my face, and then I guess like my hair it was just sour.
Speaker 1:I had to just just get in the shower and just wash my hair, wash my face, but I was so disappointed wait a minute.
Speaker 2:Wait a minute now. Did you tell the person I asked, because then people are thinking that is that it's you smelling like I know.
Speaker 1:Smelling sour, like a baby's neck with milk under the.
Speaker 2:You know what I said? Hey, Baby neck.
Speaker 1:Hey, Once I, you know, kind of realized after like the second day, like hey, where do you want me to put this towel?
Speaker 2:In the trash.
Speaker 1:I said do you want me? It kind of smells sour, you know should? I said it kind of smells sour, should I toss it? No, just throw it in the washer. I was like you sure. You need to recycle that towel If you can smell the stink on the towel dry before you even put water to it.
Speaker 2:When you put some water on it, it's going to just be magnified.
Speaker 1:You put water and funk to it and skin Water funk, yeah. So now I have a habit of traveling water funk, yeah.
Speaker 2:So now I I have a habit of traveling. Uh, I try to remember if I with my own towel and washcloth.
Speaker 1:So that's why that's where you get that from. Yeah, so you got a bad experience you got like dookie towel syndrome yeah okay, so I guess that's why, dts.
Speaker 2:You know what to so prevent this? Just get you some nice new towels when people come over.
Speaker 1:However, you know yeah, have some guest towels I do that I have some new guest towels that only my guests can use. I'm not like washing the car with them, washing the dog with the you know, cleaning up spills and yeah, I have some towels just for my guests so they won't have dts no, so they won't have the dookie.
