There is no such thing as “running out of towels” unless you threw them all away. Only running out of “clean towels”, which is subjective. So no, I never have.
@anniereborn 5 years ago I was at a homeless shelter for a night and I took a shower. They had no towels. I could not just get dressed and ask the front office all sopping wet.
I knew this was a RDG question before I got to the end of the title.
Toilet paper has to be one of the worst things to try to dry an entire body off with, that’s even absorbent. Slightly better than trying to use a loofa, or a bar of soap, or a toothbrush.
Not as good as finding a dry wall and pressing your wet naked body against it.
