I had a roommate in college who just never washed his towel (singular) all semester.
It was fucking disgusting and made the whole bathroom smell like BO, to the point that every time I needed to use the bathroom, I’d put on my trusty rubber gloves and throw it up against his door.
His argument was that he only ever used it after he showered, on his clean body, so using it to dry a clean body was effectively washing it too.
It became routine for me and the other roommate to warn him when we were bringing a girl over that if he didn’t get his towel out of the fucking bathroom, we’d exact nuclear revenge.
The towel thing attained a new level the next year: he moved in with two of my other friends (who didn’t think to ask me instead, or even ask me about how he was to live with), and when they noticed the same behavior, they decided to test him: they put a few pieces of fruit under the other towels in his towel drawer to see how long it’d take him to get down there and find them.
The fruit rotted and was stinking up the whole apartment and attracting flies before he noticed.
I wash mine when it starts growing mold. So anywhere from every 3 years to every 6 years.
What the fuck

We must have had the same roommate. Did he also stay up late at night screaming and clapping at movies alone in his room?
Not that I recall!
