3. Because I was in a hurry to squeeze another load of wash in and some
one in my house left a soggy towel on the floor in the corner of the bathroom, and I zooped down to pick it up and Whack!!!! Honest, I nearly brained myself.

5. The kids were strangely silent...because leaving damp towels on the
floor of the bathroom is a mommy killer here. I applaud them for their ability to hold it in though.

on a fixed schedule for 24 hours......Tell him it's a tough job but he's the one to do it......

6. You REALLY need to avoid bars!
Bars can get folks into a lotta trouble.

I hope your pain subsides soon.

17. I love the washcloth ones!

37. Good for you
I don't understand why so many men feel that wearing or owning something pink affects their male image.

I think a lot of men would look sexy in pink.

39. I agree. I bought my husband a pink oxford, because he will wear
nothing else when he gets out of his uniform, and it hangs there in the closet. I can't wear it...I look horrid in pink.

21. It came with the house-honest-but then I miss your point. I will change
towel bars immediately, at my expense so as to not offend anyone with my elitism, or discriminate against aluminum towel bar owners on this forum. :evilgrin: :toast:

ummm...I will hire an unemployed aluminum towel bar installer, invite his
children over to play so he doesn't have to hire a babysitter, and feed them as well---or is that too condescending??

30. You know you're just doing it so you can get a bargain by taking advantage
of his vulnerable status but if it makes you feel all high and mighty to do that...

( do I get an academy award for this or a boot in the head?)

34. An academy award-for the hood of your car. You're too damn funny
to boot in the head. Too many head injuries in this thread already.

20. Towel bars are eevil.
It's called the malevolence of inanimate objects. Universally observed phenomenon.
Don't even think of heaping on extra towels to pad the thing so it won't hurt you so bad next time. They'll fall off. So you can bend down to get them, come up and... :hurts:

24. and it was right on the corner of it too. Still throbbing. I have expected
to feel a dent there. Funny thing is, we don't even use the darn thing-here at the Grumpy's we prefer the floor.

31. THis is true, and it all starts in the bathroom. Go figure. First my eye
tangles with the shower curtain, now the towel bar is after my head. I may be onto something here. :)

33. Call for help if you start

  • feeling sleepy
  • feeling like you're going to throw up
  • feeling dizzy
  • slurring your words
  • getting confused
  • seeing black spots or stars
  • dropping things
  • getting clumsy


You may have a concussion.
