Towels - not exactly riveting things are they?
You get them clean out of the draw, use them to dry yourself, wash, dry and repeat. The most exciting thing about towels is that you can now get some pretty funky patterned ones to brighten up your bath-time experience.
But, they’re not exactly something to argue about, right?
Wrong.
A massive debate kicked off on social media after photographer Abdul Dremali asked what the 'normal' amount of towels the average adult should own.
It started after a conversation with his girlfriend revealed they have very different ideas on how many we should all have stocked away in the cupboard.
What do you think is the correct amount of towels? Let us know in the comments...
He tweeted: "Hello fellow adults. My gf and I have a question... what is the correct amount of towels to own?
"I said 10 and she looked at me like I was crazy.
"We have zero frame of reference on the appropriate amount of towels in a household of two."
Before long he was inundated with replies as people shared their idea of 'normal', with massively varying numbers being suggested.
One person wrote: “10-15 for two people is appropriate. You could never have too many towels. I believe I have 12 for two people and I wish I had more. I could not stress this enough. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY TOWELS.” Quite the towel enthusiast then…
Another said: “Two. One for you and one for her.” Hmm, we’re going to have to disagree with that one actually. What happens when you put them in the wash but need a shower?!
Another went to the other extreme and wrote: “OK, so I counted 30 towels for my two person no dog household (not counting hand towels, facecloths nor bath mats). Full closets. Not excessive.” Mkay…
Someone else wrote: "The correct answer is what your girlfriend wants...but, I support your answer."
The question caused lots of rows and left many people questioning what actually is normal, while others were just intrigued by the whole discussion and how riled up people seemed to be getting about it.

Someone said: “My roommate uses a new one every time he showers and thinks it’s normal. Can someone confirm?”
Someone else said they were ‘fascinated’ and ‘horrified’ by the differing amounts of towels people seem to own and use.
Another pretty much ended the conversation by saying: “You all need to get out more.”
Well, that’s the towel-lovers told…
