Things That Used To Be Nice But Someone Ruined It For Everyone

Using Towels At The Gym

I belong to a small, local 24-hour gym. They used to have small white towels (hand-sized) that you could use while you worked out. There was a laundry basket you could throw them in as you were leaving. They weren’t great quality. In fact, they were rather rough from being washed every day, but they were nice to wipe down your treadmill, wipe your face, etc.

Last month I entered the gym & there was a sign stating that they’re no longer stocking the towels because people are stealing them. Why would anyone steal these small, scratchy towels? It’s probably the gym rats who forget to put them in the basket and now have a huge collection in their trucks.
