Sounds to me like a man whose brain doesn't function in the
morning till he's had coffee. Didn't realise that he hadn't made
clear that he wanted your bathroom for a shower, simply didn't
think about towels till he had showered, then had no choice but
to rummage around till he found one.

I'm trying to remember if I've ever had a guest ask to use the
bathroom when they were asking if they were asking about
showering and I don't think so. I do think that as a guest it is
important to clarify between asking to take a shower or use your
bathroom. I think everyone understands that a shower means the
host might need to provide towels at a minimum. Showering is
also a longer event so a host might need to coordinate
schedules. I know I might be pretty annoyed if I was downstairs
making coffee and an overnight night guest asked if they could
use my master bathroom while the guest was occupied by someone
else showering. It would annoy me to expect to be able to go
back upstairs and finish dressing and find my shower occupied.

I would not want anyone in my master bath, except for a quick
"potty" trip. Would really irk me if someone went in my
cupboards for towels, etc. This is MY personal space, where I
keep things that are personal for my husband and me.

This sort of ties in to the other thread about going into
people's bedrooms uninvited. If I'm having a party with lots of
guests, then I do offer my master bath for a back up so people
don't have to wait in line for the guest bath. Some people have
even hesitated after I've offered because it is, I think,
generally recognized to be a private space and off limits to
guests. But normally, I expect guests to use the guest bath and
not come into my bedroom (which you have to pass through in
order to get to my bathroom).
So yeah, the idea of someone using my shower and then rummaging
around to find a towel is not cool. He should have made himself
clear. "Can I use your shower?" Because "Can I use your
bathroom" implies the toilet, not the shower.
