Since I seem to be clumsy when it's critical that I'm not, here goes:

I was cleaning my bathroom tub, and accidentally got Tilex on some decorative towels. Within seconds, what was once brown was now orange.

Now, my mother is in London until Monday, which means I have 3 days to get rid of the orange spots or...or... X(

How decorative are we talking??? Like 500 dollers decorative or like 50? Now let's assume these are AMAZING towels, and you're gonna get pwned. Your options are

A) Hide deh towels
B) Paint deh towels
C) Bleach the towels, then find some way to make the bleached spot look orange

Or lets assume.... it's a towel. I'm sure it can't be that big a deal. Just call u're mum and be like "Umm... I got some Tilex on those really fancy towels, my bad."

Maybe 20 a piece? with 3/4 towels.

Bed Bath and Beyond, buy-2-get-2-free, kind of towels. I can see the conversation in my head:

Brian, you ^%#*&%*#$*#$^&*#%^$*%&$* idiot! What the *$%^*$&^*$&^ did you do to these towels????!?!?!? Is this how you welcome me back from London?

But, but, but, it was an accident!

and it all goes downhill from there.

It's better than trying to cover it up.

 

[Macabre]

buy new towels,or hide em',or just blame someone else,bwa ha ha ha...

 

[Zook]

look her straight in the eyes and say, "it was an accident and I'm sorry"
if she still drills you then you have worse problems than just a stained towel.

That, and offer to buy new ones maybe. You don't want a mom to be pissed at you. Is she like obsessive over these towels?

And don't listen to Ningacom. That won't do crap.

What Zook said is honestly the best scenario.

 

[Annoyance]

Either buy new ones or explain to her. They are just towels.

You could also just make the entire towel orange. :<

Hiding them may be the easiest option, especially if they're not used often.

Then claim ignorance later.

But owning up and offering to replace them is the 'right' thing to do.

Hmm...simple option: Tell her the truth knowing you'll get in trouble or lie and hide it and know that you won't be yelled at but have a longtime guilt. Otherwise, like many have said before me, bleach it, I guess. Hope this helps!

The best thing to do.

I'll just throw the towels away, then you're mom comes home, right?
and she'll be like- 'Do you know wht happened to those towels in the bathroom'?
you: "what towels?"
Just keep denying it.
until you buy some new ones, and then you're like; "Oh, I found them underneath the sink!"

yah... I get away with it sometimes.

You're an idiot. The topic was posted on April 10th, and he said he had 3 days to figure out what to do.

10 +3 =/= 29
