My fridge has an idiot light that comes on if a door is open, like on
my car dashboard... well not really but something a fridge should
have.

Where do you keep those you are using, those that may be dirty and/or
wet... folded and stacked they'd not dry. Keeping a stack of clean
towels on the counter would irritate me, exposed like that where food
is prepped they may not stay clean, I prefer to keep them in a kitchen
drawer. I keep two out that I'm using, one to wipe up spills and
schmutz hangs from the oven handle, one for drying hand washed items
lives draped over my knife block where it's within reach but out of
the way and can dry. After a day or two the clean one becomes the
schmutz one and I take a fresh one from the towel drawer for clean
work.
