[Avodah] Paper Towels

[Yisrael Medad]

Michael Kopinsky" <mkopinsky at gmail.com>
writes about the taking of paper towels from someone who took them from the
schule's paper towel dispenser without first asking in a sitaution of
immediate hygienic need that "this Sha'ailah could be very relevant".

My point was that why does this need to be in the category of a
"she'ailah"?  It should be in the realm of common manners - if you have a
real need, and it is immediate, anyone would give you the handkerchief out
of his pocket (or in a similar situation, I have seen women lend other
mothers tissues for their babies, etc.).  So, if the paper towels were
common property, why get picayune and seek to apply Halacha?
