In our bathroom we have a tiny bucket with a rolled up towel sitting on an open shelf of the cabinet. The towel is purely decorative and my wife has made it known that it is not to be used ever. Even though it is a real towel, for all intents and purposes it isn’t real and I’m expected to be an adult and make believe it’s not a towel. However….
When she removes the hand towels to do laundry she doesn’t replace them until they’re washed, dried, and folded. And since I’m a compulsive hand washer I secretly use and roll the towel back up so it looks unused. She hasn’t yelled at me so I know she hasn’t found out yet. Nobody knows this except you guys.
