We are dealing with a recurring pink facecloth, here in our temporary, pre-house hotel suite. We have no idea why this blasted thing keeps turning up, but every day it returns.

It doesn’t match any of the other towels here, which are uniformly white. As a matter of fact, it kind of stands out in its full-blown pinkness, as it sits there on the bathroom counter every day.

We’ve tried to get rid of it. We’ve thrown it on the floor, which is the universal hotel code for replacing towels. We’ve tucked it under the counter, under the fresh roll of toilet paper and the typical hotel room mini-box of half-empty Kleenex. No matter – it returns every day after housekeeping has come and gone. Taunting us…

We could throw it out I suppose. That’s one option. We are not violent people by nature, and now more than ever we can prove that, as my application for membership in PETA is finally under serious consideration by their approval committee. I hope they decide quick – I’m really missing my fresh Alberta beef, especially with a hearty au jus…mmm….

Do any of you out there have a problem with this sort of thing (the pink facecloth I mean, not the beef)?? Does your housekeeper place an unwanted pink facecloth in your bathroom, for no logical reason?? If you’ve had to resolve a similar situation, what was your solution?? Is there a former housekeeper buried somewhere in your backyard?? Have you ignited a frustrating facecloth in a fit of anger?? I have an inquiring mind, and I need to know!!

Chow for now!
