Laundry - Page 6

Right now, navy blue.

Years ago I lived in a large apt. complex. I loved the all-at-once timesaver of the laundry room, but hated the "are the machines open?" lottery. The room was too tiny and noisy to stay, so I'd walk down the hall to my apt., set a timer and get stuff done at home. Once, when I went back to move things along, there was a guy standing there holding my panties. I confronted him and he said he was helping me by putting my stuff in the dryer. I looked into the dryer he was transferring things to and it was ALL panties. No t-shirts, socks, sweats or any other articles of clothing from the washer. Just panties. Creepy! Well maybe they float to the top in the wash cycle and settle there after the spin. Yea, right! Eeeeeew! I was soooooo grossed out that I started lugging all my laundry to my parents house after that. Hey Zapp, don't you live in that complex now?!?! You'd better keep a close eye on your panties

Now, I've changed to black.

Yippee, my timer. First load is done washing, time to move things along.

If only I had a nickel for every time I've uttered that phrase.

I don't mind doing laundry, but I hate carrying it to the laundry room. Plus, the laundry room here has no AC so it's super hot, esp. when the dryers are going, which is awful here, even in the winter.

Last time, some jerk used 6 out of 8 washers, leaving the other two for me (good thing I only had two loads). He'd moved his stuff to the dryers before my loads were done, and he used 7 out of 8. The 8th was broken. I had wet laundry draped all over my furniture. Blech.

My favorite way of doing laundry is to schlep it to HTHBellcaptain's house, believe it or not. But I don't do that often. I don't like people to think I'm taking advantage. (It's not taking advantage if I fold his towels, is it?)

This makes me think of the exchange from Planes, Trains & Automobiles:
"Why did you kiss my ear?"
"Why are you holding my hand?"
"Where is your other hand?"
"Between two pillows..."
"Those AREN'T PILLOWS!"

ok..so I finally am doing it now. its in the dryer. I filled one regular washer (lights) one triple-load (sheets and towels) and STUFFED the maxi-sized washer, the largest. (darks...duh! )

and the room looks cleaner without the piles...now to put the clean stuff away when I get home. that may be asking too much for one day

And its put away!

You sorted! That's sooo cool!

Can you teach my husband that trick....he thinks clothes go in the washer together...doesn't matter what color!

We actually have a quadruple hamper. Actually, we have two double hampers. Lights in one, mediums in the next, darks in the next , and finally reds. Whenever one is full, throw it in the washer.
