Probability

A bath towel has two ends, and a label is sewn on one side of one end.
I fold my bath towel in half lengthwise and hang it over a towel rack.
The label can, by chance, be in the back (and not be seen,) or on either the front or back of the inside (and also not be seen) or in the front – where I see it every time I walk into the bathroom. The probability is that ONLY 1 time out of 4 will I hang my towel wrong – so that the label shows.

WHY IS THE LABEL ALWAYS SHOWING?

Who is responsible for the laws of probability? I have something to discuss with that person.
