Do you used the same piece of toilet paper to wipe twice (by folding it) or do you use a new piece everytime?
Do you hang your towel up and use it again or throw it in the wash?

If I can, I will fold and reuse. If it is very soiled, I don't. As for the towels, at my house when I was growing up, we would reuse our towels several times. I now live with my fiance and his family, and almost everyone here uses their towel only once, and considers it to be dirty and gross to reuse it. (And they wonder why there is never any towels in the bathroom...they are all in the wash! Also, they towels are almost new, yet they are worn out from repeated washings).

I believe it is ok to utilize the toilet paper in that manner as long as there was sufficiant paper to begin with. As far as the towel, if you're talking about the after shower towel, then no, you should wash it before using it again. If you're talking hand towel used to dry your hands then you may use this repeatedly through out the day, but at the end of the day it should be washed. Of course if the person washing their hands doesn't do a good job and leaves the towel looking nasty, then wash it and change to a new one.

If the TP is not soaked or over stuffed and it can be reused again with out messing me up again, I will fold and reuse. This is more environmentaly responsible.
I will usualy hang a towel up and use it 1 to 2 times more. After all, it is not like the towel is used after a session at the gym, it is used after I am clean from a shower. Before I use a towel again I always smell it. Once it smells it goes into the hamper and then I select a clean towel.

New piece every time, dude! I usually take about 4-6 pieces and fold them a couple times, use it ONCE then throw it all away.
As far as bath towels go, you should only go through like 2 a week. They're clean if you are.

ti take one long piece and keep folding till i am all very clean and i am hairy! as for the towel i wipe and hang to dry till it gets dirty or smelly, whichever comes first and that is usually after five days in damp weather.
but like has been said if you have to wash the towel after every wipe cos its dirty then you need to change your lifestyle or job or something that makes you that dirty all the time.

Fold and use ........2 times.
Hang up towel and use again for 2-3 days.

I use a new piece and I use hand towels for three to five days then replace it with a new one.

If you use the same piece of toilet paper twice, you are trifling. I don't care what your excuse is, you are nasty. Your mother should be ashamed for doing such a bad job in teaching you manners.

Fold (carefully), hang (it's more environmentaly responsible, and if your towel is dirty after you shower, you are doing something wrong)
