Laundry Etiquette
Maybe it's just me, but doing laundry brings out the worst in me. It always seems to take ten minutes too long, and I have to leave before changing the next load. But at least I have the concern to get it done, unlike my roommates. Is it so much to ask a person to FINISH their laundry on the same night/day/week as they started it?? For me, laundry isn't complete until it's hanging or folded in your closet. I don't understand the point of running a load, leaving it in the dryer and then getting back a wrinkled basket of basically unwearable clothing. The worst laundry etiquette move is when the raggamuffin does multiple loads and leave two undone loads, one in the wash, one in the dryer. UGGH!!! Not only do I have to put their wrinkled bundle into an "always missing" basket, but I have to run the washed load into the dryer! And it seems like it's always the underwear wash or yellow-pitted undershirts. Now, after all that extra time I have to spend in the laundry room, which cuts away from my various tasks I might be doing, I finally get to do my laundry, empty theirs from the dryer, and finish mine. I do NOT separate colors. Aside from the first wash with something red, separating colors is like preheating the oven on a frozen pizza, total waste of time!
Finish All Laundry and remove from machines!
In time constraint, leave an empty basket for wrinkled-dried stuff, PLEASE!
Empty dryer lint thingy... that one is just plain stupid not to do.
Do not make "Laundry Day" a mulitple-day event. In other words, don't save up 15 loads to do at once and stretch it over 48 hours.
In close, I do my laundry and I follow these common by-laws of laundry etiquette. But the same could be said about doing the dishes and taking out the trash. That's why I'm convinced I need to live with a woman, preferrably one that does all this for me.
Thought of the Night: Are stamps still the most logical use?
OTT Joke I heard at work:
Guy: What's brown and sticky?
Girl: A stick?
Well I laughed

For postage ben. It seems like they could come up with something better than a sticky stamp, say just something electronic, that scans and charges. Stamps and anything paper is so outdated. I'm done with stamps.
