Is it Me....Or is This Nasty?

We do a lot of laundry in my house. There's only two of us (not including the dog) and we wash about 5-6 loads of laundry per week. This sounds like a lot but we're big people and I think our clothes take up more space than "normal" (less hungry) sized folk. All five loads are not clothes though, only 3 of them are. One load is our sheets (which I strip off the bed each week to wash and rotate on a fresh set from the linen closet and the other load is towels. Two people, showering daily equals about 12-14 towels a week. Is that a lot?

I've heard about people who "re-use" their towels during the week.... Eeww! Really? I don't get it. At first, I thought this was a joke or maybe a "British thing" (my former coworker, who happens to be British, was the first person I had ever heard of to do this) but I guess I was wrong. People use one towel 2-3 times a week. I got to admit, I'm gagging a little over here.

Why? Don't you have more towels? I've got loads, I'll give you a couple if it comes to that.
