TOWEL RACKS

99,9% of all towels are rectangular. As are 99,9% of all towel racks. Indeed, most of them have bars built into them at intervals, so that the rectangular towels fit easily into the rectangular rack.

Why is it, then, that 100% of the rest of my family don't seem able to fit the towels in the towel rack? Virtually every day I find myself taking one or more "stuffed" towels out of the towel rack in the bathroom, folding them, and putting them neatly back again.

Most days I don't seem to mind, and do it almost absent-mindedly. But for some reason this morning it got to me. Hence this rant.
