“hey man, wash the brown towels in your bathroom before using them for anything.”
“I don’t have any brown towels.”
“Yes. Yes you do.”

And this is the reason I keep Kleenex and paper towels, along with extra toilet paper, in every bathroom in the house. And I check, so no running out. Can’t handle the thought of “brown towels”.
I hope the paper towels are not going into the toilet? As the other poster said, toilet paper is designed to go down the toilet, paper towel isn’t, same goes for most feminine hygene products. Just talk to a sanitation worker about the damage such items to to the sewage treatment plant.
Kleenex, yes. Paper towels, bad idea. Paper towels don’t fall apart when wet, the way tissues do, and are a very reliable way of making your toilet back up at the least convenient time. I learned this the hard way, many years ago, when I also discovered that my roommates and I didn’t own a toilet plunger. Fortunately, our upstairs neighbors were home.
Not to mention paper towels are terribly uncomfortable on the sensitive skin back there. Ever blow your nose with a paper towel? Imagine wiping the other end.
Like sandpaper, it is.
I always use paper towels when blowing my nose. All tissue ever does is disintegrate. That just leaves me with hands covered in snot and bits of tissue, and an even-more runny nose due to tickling by aforementioned bits of tissue.
A paper towel, on the other hand, just gets a little damp.
and fortunately your downstairs neighbors were away.
I always make sure a spare roll is within reach. The only hang up is when someone wants to get in that whole “over-under” arguement about how to hang the roll.
The paper towels are there just in case…. so far there has never been a need to use them in place of toilet paper, only in place of hand towels.
reminds me of this story from an HS teacher:
he & his buddy help a girl move out. he goes to the bathroom but the tp is gone, so he just takes a leak & leaves after washing his hands. later his buddy goes in and stays for a while; when he comes out they asked him what he used: “my hands…”
