Have You Seen Me?
Baffled. I’m absolutely baffled.
Long story short, my shower towel somehow vanished into thin air last night sometime between 9pm-10:30pm.
Here are the facts: I took a shower around 8:50pm last night and dried myself off with my towel a little before 9pm. I got dressed and watched New Girl (great show, by the way) on tv from 9-9:30pm. From 9:30-10pm I was just messing around on my computer. I was on the phone from 10-10:30pm. After I got off (THE PHONE, @Cakalusa!), I went to brush my teeth in the bathroom. I finally notice my towel was missing when I attempted to dry off my hands and it wasn’t there. Huh?
During this whole time, I never once left my room so I know it has to be either in my room or in the bathroom. I looked everywhere, and I do mean EVERYWHERE: on my bed, in my pillows, in my laundry basket, in my closet, in my drawers, on the ground near my bed, on the ground everywhere else, behind my desk, in my travel bags, in my fridge, in my PS3, in my tissue box, in the boxers I was wearing, and so on. I knew I was getting desperate when I started looking up in the air, hoping it was magically floating above me all along. I’ve search each area multiple times, but nothing yet.
This is really bothering me! How in the world can a big towel like that disappear in such a small space?!
I didn’t eat it…
I didn’t flush it down the toilet…
What else could explain this?
Nah…could it…?What do you guys think happened? Any other possible locations you would suggest looking in my room and bathroom? I’m accepting any possibility at this point!
I will update you all if I somehow find it in the mean time. I’m not going to give up and throw in the towel just yet! …because well, I can’t…
WHERE ART THOU, TOWEL?! RETURN TO ME!!!!!UPDATE (March 9th): Still have not seen it =(

“After I got off.”
Giggity.
That’s your answer right there.
Well it’s a little bit horror, but maybe someone who used to sleep in your bathtub stole it
I’ve seen you. huh?
behind and under furniture.
maybe its in the wash
Isn’t this similar to the mysterious bra in your house? But in this case, your towel just vanished. Hahaha…maybe your mom took it down to the laundry room?
I drove alllllllllllll the way from northern Ohio and stole your towel. I didn’t even want to talk to you – just wanted your towel.
*sniff* ahh, Essence of Alex! ;D haha
@CaKaLusa - Damn it, Chris! This is serious business here!!
@fabolousclown - But I noone has slept there before…as far as I’m aware =/
@BenelliMan - my towel! Where’s my towel?!
@SarahC0828 - just did another check through. No luck =(
@mrqtran - Currently washing my laundry and I don’t see it =(
@MzKeekz - Kinda similar…so are you saying my towel somehow teleported back in time and transformed into a bra in my grandma’s room?! Haha..btw, can’t be my mom as this time it’s at my place and not my family’s house.
Maybe the little people from the movie “Secret World of Arrietty” took it
@Cestovatelka - how did you slip through my impenetrable defenses??
It’s the little people who stole your towel.
is it hung on your penis?
@howsthewheather - Honestly, at this point I will follow up on any possible leads…so I will search for these folks.
@suefa_lee - Which ones? There’s so many kinds!
@pika_whoosh - *looks* nope, not there.
@Roadlesstaken - SO SURRIOUS!
You didn’t even go to the kitchen?
You placed in the trash or closet around 8:50PM to 9:00PM. Or the dryer.
@randaness - didn’t leave the room at all, that I know for sure
@stupid_systemus - it’s not in the washer or dryer. Trash cans in my room/bathroom are small and they’re currently mostly empty. I would think it’s in my closet, but I’ve searched through it at least 4 times to no avail. I will keep searching though…
Gremlins. It’s always the gremlins.
@Roadlesstaken - Us Slovaks are a sneaky bunch.
Have you considered the possibility that your towel is a shape shifter? Look around your room, if you see a new coffee cup, or sock, or something that wasn’t there before, there is a good chance that you have a shape shifting towel dilemma on your hands.
Scotty beamed it up. It is now going where no towel has gone before.
Maybe a ferret took it.
The Sock Monster has moved up!
Ahhh I love your humor. Makes me laugh every time
One of my towels went missing years ago. Made someone in the future is playing around with time and acedentally taking people’s towels from the past.
Either that or you really need a towel sometime in the future (because you become a galatic hitchhiker) and the only one availible are ones from the past. Then you realize it was you who stole your towel, from yourself.
Don’t worry, your future self needs much more than you do.
It can’t have suffered the fate of socks in the washer or dryer- but you didn’t mention looking UNDER THE BED.
Cindy took it. She can’t resist your irresistible smell.
It’s probably under something. Or in plain sight.
Dryer ate it.
Don’t ask me how it got to the dryer.
@firetyger - do they leave clues to their appearances?
@amateurprose - I actually have not considered that yet, but I am now! Thanks man
@whyzat - Well, I guess if the towel is enjoying itself…
@K12N9 - But why would a ferret want my towel?
@galadrial - It has evolved!
@crazy2love - Thanks. Now, if only my humor can somehow make my towel return to me!
@The44thHour - http://i.imgur.com/r6aYE.gif
@RighteousBruin - Oh sorry, that’s included when I said the floor near my bed. But yeah, I looked down there and no signs of it. HMMMMMmmm…..
@laytexduckie - I was talking to her on the phone from 10-10:30pm…so was that actually a ruse to distract me while someone else stole it??
@BranmacFeabhail - That’s what I’m thinking…maybe I need another pair of eyes to help
@emily_shannon - Maybe…but I have never seen a dryer eat up anything bigger than a sock!
@Roadlesstaken - Unfortunately, no they do not
At least not the mean ones.
@Roadlesstaken - Exactly. Have you check her ninja credentials?
could be hanging on a chair under a jacket.
@laytexduckie - I knew I should have ran that background check on her!
lmao!! Thank you for this post. I’ve had an aggravating day and this made me laugh : ]
@Roadlesstaken - She’s probably monitoring this comment section right now! Run!
you sound like dr seuss! hahaha
I lose a lot of things too for no apparent reason, but I remember I don’t have 20/20 vision and when I put my glasses on… the thing was right in front of my face LOL!
of course, we could just be getting old… *sigh LOL!!
New Girl is an amazing show.
@jim - Just checked…no luck
@HelloRoxyy - No problem haha..but man this missing towel is really bothering me! Doesn’t make sense!
@laytexduckie - Nah no way…well actually…shoot.
@Ladiiee - Maybe that’s it. I am 26 after all.
My guess is that it is tangled up in your bed somewhere. Have you separated out your sheets and comforter?
@rachelbachel32 - It certainly grown on me. Do you watch Happy Endings? That’s another new show that’s really funny.
@lifeonacitybusem4 - That I have. I even put the bed on webcam with a few people watching to make sure I didn’t miss a spot. So strange!
I ate it.
@Rob_of_the_Sky - http://kpopjpopomy.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/gif-12.gif
@Roadlesstaken - Well, ferrets like to roll up and bury themselves in things. A towel is perfect for that.
I don’t kow where yout towel is but when did you start wearing that funny hat.
@RushmoreJ - Hmm, which hat?
hehehe…the mystery of the lost towel! love it! When I lose stuff, I normally check the fridge first….
@sabbygurl - I did check it too, despite it being one of those small ones. Nope, wasn’t in there =(
Your house ate it. Mine eats things all the time.
@FallenSafely - That would be one way to make sense of this cray cray
@the_rocking_of_socks - what’s the biggest thing your house ate?
I doubt a towel would disappear on its own. Maybe you hung it where the shower curtain goes? Or if you had any visitors, maybe they took it.
Does it really have to that towel??
@Roadlesstaken - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny7uGEPgoXk&feature=related
It has fallen behind something.
@Roadlesstaken - Yes, I do! We have the same birthday AND the same taste in shows.
@Roadlesstaken – It eats my laundry all the time. It ate my cat once. I didn’t see her for a week. I assume the fur disagreed with it, since she was a ragged mess when she finally turned up in my bathroom.
Maybe you have a playful ghost about the house. Ask it to please give your towel back. Use a very serious voice and a stern expression. Do not crack a smile. You never know… I have a couple of ghosts around my house, but they’re usually not the ones who take off with things like towels. Nope. That would be my husband. I’ll be just about to reach for one and he grabs it and makes off with it faster than I say, “Hey! Wait a minute there!” You don’t happen to have anyone like that around, do you? They can be QUITE pesky.
@Roadlesstaken - I am frightened and disturbed by this!
@Roadlesstaken - you think you’re aware but he’s just invisible.
Hahaha this is really becoming an obsession Alex…sometimes it’s best to just chalk these things up to random stuff that happens.
I suggest going into deep relaxation and re playing the entire shower in your mind until you uncover the mystery of the towel.
I used it to make Powerpuff Girls. #elementX
LOL. i lose everything all the time… i ask the same question every time.
@Himeki - I check the shower curtains (nada) and noone else was in my room and bathroom during that 1.5 hours. It’s confusing!!!
@The44thHour - perfect
@mycontinuity - I looked behind everything but nothing yet!
@rachelbachel32 - http://i.imgur.com/ETr8E.gif
@the_rocking_of_socks - !!!!
@Ampbreia - I just asked out loud for it to please be returned where they found it. Let’s see what happens!
@fabolousclown - http://i.imgur.com/1NPq3.gif
@SaintBlue1131 - Yes, trying. I’m trying to remember exactly when I last let go of the towel. I’m pretty sure I put it on the hanger where I normally put it, but I’m no 100% sure. HMMMMmmmmm
@llamalima - Ah, well that’s no big deal. Just give me a heads up next time!
@suuperstar - What’s the biggest thing you lost? My towel is pretty big…
Are you sitting on it? ha ha
This just made me think of Schmidt and his tirade about his damp towel, lol! Last night’s New Girl was SO good. But dude, what did the whole “what happened last night” “nothing” MEAN!?! Anyway, I hope your towel returns to you soon.
OK this is working me up – I need to see to it that you find the towel… hahah. Do you remember what the towel looked like? It seems like the last place you saw it was when you were drying yourself off in the bathroom. The only place it could be is in your bathroom!
@Roadlesstaken - That is awesome.
have you found it?
@Doubledb - Oh how I wish I was! Still MIA after one full day…
@CuaSo - You know it’s coming with those two. Just let it happen already!!
@stepaside_loser - I look all over the bathroom…in the shower, under the sink, in the trash, behind the toilet, inside the toilet…nothing! What’s going on?!
@HeLLo_Bianca - NO! There should be a towel version of the Amber alert.
did you ask the Russian if she took it by mistake?
@HeLLo_Bianca - the thing is, she’s in Russia now! So yeah, she wouldn’t have been here yesterday.
wow..that’s is something..do you have any animals..any pets..that is my first question..if not..look in the least likely place
that’s usually where it shows up..the ‘last’ place you think of looking..good luck..take care..Lee
LOL. Hmmm. I don’t know what to tell you!
Watching “New Girl”…
Sure it wasn’t the “New Girl” You had come to your house?
a.) You used it to wipe the fridge, so it’s on top of the fridge.
b.) It’s now being used as a floor mat.
c.) The dog took it outdoors.
d.) It’s in your car.
e.) It’s draped over a chair.
f.) Your mom took it, and used it to wrap a small tree, kind of like Linus in the Peanuts.
g.) While you’re sitting at the computer, doing your xanga thing, you’re actually sitting on it!
can’t wait to read the next chapter of this..
Pretty sure you ate it.
Sorry, can’t help you. I forgot to wear my contact lens, I can’t see a thing.
one of your housemates took it?
@priorities - No pets…and yeah, I’m still searching but no luck. I will be moving soon, so maybe I’ll see it then when I’m packing up
@SlackerSociety - You have a point. Hard to keep track of all of them, as you know right?
@rpghero27 -
a.) You used it to wipe the fridge, so it’s on top of the fridge. not there =(
b.) It’s now being used as a floor mat. not there either =(
c.) The dog took it outdoors. I have no pets
d.) It’s in your car. I didn’t go into my car at all after I used it until I lost it
e.) It’s draped over a chair. One of the first places I looked but alas, not there as well
f.) Your mom took it, and used it to wrap a small tree, kind of like Linus in the Peanuts. Don’t live with mom
g.) While you’re sitting at the computer, doing your xanga thing, you’re actually sitting on it!Ah, I wish it was just right there!
Thanks for your suggestions, but sadly my towel is still MIA
@llwindyll - As of right now nothing new happened, but maybe it’ll appear when I start moving my stuff out soon
@RestlessButterfly - Find glasses then! I need all the help I can get
@fLiPgUy31O - http://i.imgur.com/w8mC4.gif
@rxglasshalffull - my suitemate is away on vacation and no one else has access to my bathroom/room. Hmmm….
Oh ..well maybe it went where ‘all the missing socks go’…in that unknown land , the ‘Twilight Zone’ of missing things
1. You left your room with the towel and dropped it somewhere else in the house. One of your housemates picked it up and tossed it into the laundry room.
2. It fell behind a drawer.
3. It fell into one of your big tennis bags.
I think you need to make a video of this.
@ElusiveWords - Nope, never left the room because I didn’t have much clothes on and I wouldn’t have walked out like that. I checked behind the drawer and my tennis bags…nada. What would the video be if I made it?
Very, very strange. I think you’re going to find it in another week or so, kind of bundled up and kicked under your bed or somewhere like that.
@christao408 - Hope so. I will be moving to a different place soon, so maybe I’ll find it while packing.
LOL do post when the towel decides to reappear~
@yan_ni - I will..IF it comes back -____-
LOOK IN THE FRIDGE
@ShimmerBodyCream - I did! Not there =(
So where was your GF when all this took place? could it be an inside job?…did she express any dislike of the towel?
Also whats the latest? has it been solved yet?
@SaintBlue1131 - She was back at her place. I had her look for it too, but no go. It’s still missing even after I clean out my whole room! So bizarre…
Well it’s starting to look like you might have an emperors new clothes situation going on Alex…you were air drying all this time and pretending you had a towel lol
I haven’t seen your towel, but I have seen New Girl, and you’re right. It’s a great show.
@HaleRealty - That show definitely went above my expectations for it.
