Real World Disagreements Settled Here

Not totally sure you're keeping to the spirit of the thread here Jansz my man! What's the disagreement about towels (and whose life is so empty they have to argue about towels ... what, you want to argue about towels? I'm in!)

I though this was to solve disagreements, no? Anyway, I agree with everyone else: face towel/hand towel/body towel. Though of course you could shake yourself like a dog after you get out of the shower like me...

Can I add one? Who says you have to love cats but not dogs, or vice versa? I think you can love both, but many people say to me "Oh I don't like cats, I'm a dog person." Actually, come to think of it, few if any people say the reverse....

You can like cats AND dogs (or dislike both I guess)
You have to not like the other if you like one, ie you can like cats but not also dogs and vice versa.

Just call me the phantom thread 'jacker!

Hey now, this thread does have rules! And I would say this question in very much in the spirit of the first question this thread tackled. From the OP:

The idea is that this thread would work a little like the album wars thread. We'll tackle one disagreement at a time, collect votes during a certain window of time, pick a winner, then move on to the next disagreement. If you have a disagreement suggestion please PM it to me so we can keep the thread from getting confusing. Also, let's try to keep this somewhat light-hearted. No serious moral dilemmas please.

But what's the argument?

If you'd said "my mate thinks the top towel is for your face but I say for your hands" or whatever, but there was no conflict described, just what are these towels? Sure, it's your thread and you run it as you see fit, but your own quote shows up the logic of the towel question, ie there is no choice, just a question. If you want to do it that way fine, but that's not what you said in the OP, which, oddly, you've quoted as proof it does...? Maybe I need to lie down...

The disagreement is what each of the three towels are called and what they're used for. I've intentionally avoided any more detail than that so as not to bias people's responses. Since it's not a yes or no question, I've asked it in more of an open ended fashion. I'm not really seeing how this conflicts with the OP.
