@Adagio What you said about the towels being to the side of the shower is exactly why this might be the thing that finally gives me a nervous breakdown. I hope it teaches me never to listen to anyone else ever again when I know something is right. My last house had that set up, the towels were only three feet from the showerhead, and they never got wet. The shower head was slightly at an angle, so easily at 5 feet in this new house the towels would have been safe. Probably it sounds crazy to get so upset about a shower, but it is symbolic of a pattern of letting myself be talked out of things and of people not listening to me. My husband, the designers, and if you have seen me on other Q’s, doctors. I am so tired of not being heard and caring so much about it. My husband asked me if it is going to bother me the whole time we live in the house. It might.
@CWOTUS I never leave any extra folded towels in bathrooms that are used a lot. I actually am going to have a rack with folded towels high up and places for hanging below in my pool bath, but probably the shower will get used once in a blue moon. My master, since it is used daily, I don’t feel co for table doing it. In FL we have to be extra obsessed with mold and mildew. For instance, I never use hooks, always bars for my towels so they have the most chance of drying fast and completely. So, here I am talking about towels in the shower and also how we have to be careful here. I have a sinking feeling I am going to have a lot of regret (re: what I explained to @Adagio about how no one listened to me during the planning).
Also, I don’t like towels set above or behind a tub, because reaching for them is very difficult. I try not to do any uncomfortable reaches, especially now with my neck and shoulder injury from my accident. But, I appreciate all the suggestions from you and everyone on the Q.
