We've all encountered them — fancy towels meticulously rolled up in baskets on someone's bathroom counter or hanging beside a shower. They're nice and all, but a little too nice to actually use, so we end up wiping our hands dry on our own clothing, wondering why the hell anyone would bother placing "off-limits" towels near a fully functional sink. Marissa below made the mistake of using the aesthetically charming towels in her bathroom and received a passive-aggressive word of warning from her roomie. (For more on Marissa's story, click here.) So what's your take: Do you have "decoration" towels hanging in your bathroom?

I have these pretty sage green towels with a flower design on them hanging in my bathroom. They're definitely more on the decoration side of things, but what's the point of having them if you're not going to use them?
1Ooh, she even threw in the passive-aggressive smiley. What a cow.
2Um...I do have decoration towels. But I also set out towels that people can actually use. It doesn't work with my husband and kids however. They still use the decoration ones anyway.
3Who cares if they're nicer. They can be washed anyway.
4Well, for one, Marissa's towels are ugly. They are askew and the top one has a thread hanging from it. =)
5Oh wow..I had a whole long post. Sugar ate it. =`(
6Geez, you'd think the girl who wastes her time telling someone they're not to be used would use the correct word to describe the towel! Picture her actually saying, "Now don't you go touchin' the decOration towels now, them there fer decOration only!"
7Not only do I not have decoration towels, but my regular towels are all old and mismatched. You'd think I was a college student, not a self-sufficient woman in her thirties.
8I don't have any decoration towels. My hubby's Grandmother always kept some in her bathrooms though but guests were allowed to use them
9My mom called them "guest towels" and they were for guests.
I keep some too but not in the stupid bathroom. When I have friends come to visit, I take them out of the closet and fold them up on the bed with some little cute stuff like mini Burt's Bees soaps or something.
Hanging them out when you have a roommate and then leaving little signs when she uses them? Ugh, reminds me of some of the **tchy idiots I had for college roommates.
Save that level of pretension for when you have your OWN home, honey. And better towels.
And a hanger that does not allow them to touch the floor. Ew.
