Ever dreaded doing laundry so much that you figured it'd be just as easy to go out and buy new stuff

[kayakjohnny]

?

That's about where I'm at now. Damn the whole concept of clothing and laundry to hell. I'm joining a nudist camp. Hell, I live in Florida... why not take advantage of my geography?

Getting bit on the butt by no-see-ums and mosquitos would have to be the only real drawback. Right?

Oh, and looking at people with really unattractive bodies.

Sheesh, nevermind.

[mcctatas]

1. Not with laundry so much...

but when I was in college I used to throw away dishes rather than wash them :P

[TZ]

2. Hmmm

Another drawback...Chiggers and ummmm other exposed crevasses....:evilgrin:

[kayakjohnny]

3. Welp, maybe I could just wear a loincloth, like T-zan. And call it good.

[TZ]

5. Well make sure that....

You don't wash your loincloth with the colors...A pink loincloth wouldn't exactly be very masculine...:rofl:
(the reason why my stepfather is barred from doing laundry...)

[kayakjohnny]

6. Very funny! Nope, my lc would be your standard funky brownish, blackish, generic Tarzan type.

But also favored by many respectable tribal folks around the world. For their durability, resiliance and functionality. I appreciate your laundering tips though. The label on my newest cloth says, simply, "Beat on rock in stream".

4. crap! i have clothes in the dryer...probaly all wrinkly by now

[orleans]

7. no. i hate shopping. n/t

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

8. No.. I always dread shopping way more than doing laundry.

Doing laundry is no big deal, I think.

[quakerboy]

9. Nope. Kinda like doing laundry

cleaning floors, on the other hand, is hell.

I do like the nudist camp idea though. I could go with that. Since it turns out Obama isn't a secret Muslim, perhaps we can still hope he has a secret nudist agenda, and will be sending his booted thugs for all of our clothing soonest.

[leeroysphitz]

10. What? Are you beating your clothes with a rock down at the creek?

Shove them in a machine, pour some blue goop in then hit a button.

Whats to dread?

[harmonicon]

11. figured? Hell, I've done it.

[Silver Swan]

12. Are you talking about a common laundry

like in a dorm or apartment?

My spouse heard from his nephew earlier this week.

His nephew's wife was doing laundry in their apartment laundry room. She took a guy's dry laundry out of the dryer, so she could put theirs in the dryer.

This upset this guy so much that he smashed all the windows in her car.

Now these kids are hard up. they both have jobs, but they earn together about $28,000 a year. New windows will cost them a few hundred, even if nephew installs them himself--which he says he can, because he works as a manager of a gas station.

So yes, I can understand hating to do laundry under those circumstances.

[bigwillq]

13. Naw.

I would rather wash then have to go shopping.

[littlebit]

14. I use to be that way but I finally found a solution.

In the past eight weeks I have been through the town my mom lives in several times. I just park my truck and call her. She comes out and picks up my laundry and does it for me while i'm sleeping. When I wake up I have clean clothes.

[tigereye]

26. not sure if I should ask how old you are!

:rofl:


I told my mom to teach my brothers to do laundry when they were teens, or she would never see the end of said laundry. I am also teaching my son to do his own. I figure his future mate will thank me some day! And I won't be doing it when he comes home from college, either!

[littlebit]

34. I usually do my own

It's just been here recently that my mom has been doing it for me. I live 1500 miles from her but in the last two months I have been through the town she lives in a lot. So I figured what the heck she offered so I took her up on it. By the way I am in my late 30's. :hi:

[crim son]

15. No, but my ex BIL did exactly that.

I swear he never washed a pair of underwear until he was in his late forties when he moved back in with his mother. Now she does the laundry.

[Critters2]

16. The reason I own so many socks and underwear is that I've been known to buy new ones

rather than do laundry. Socks and undies are pretty cheap.

[Chan790]

21. Me too...

problem is that I have so many clothes that those are my limiting factor. And now I have so many pairs of underwear that if I wait until I run out of underwear, I've got 12 loads of other laundry waiting for me.

If you think you hate doing laundry now...wait until it becomes a week-long task that has to be scheduled around.

[Kali]

17. Actually I don't mind doing laundry, but as for the rest of house cleaning...

fire seems a fine option.

[MrSlayer]

18. No. Laundry is the easiest of chores.

Turn the machine on, throw in some detergent, add clothes, walk away. Take clothes out of machine, throw them in dryer, turn it on, walk away.

[Deep13]

19. So, you have one of those wash boards and a hand-crank wringer?

I'm just asking because it is pretty much a snap with an automatic washing machine.

[kayakjohnny]

33. Funny. No, but I watched my grandmother use one in Key Biscayne in the early 60's. Looked lethal.

She got her finger pinched by the roller once, and it seemed to hurt. My prob is that I wait way too long and then I'm lugging 80 or so pounds of the crap around. Don't have w and d at home so have to schlep it around. The big dif I'm guessing.

[skooooo]

20. Meet my brother and his underwear.

[skygazer]

22. Just spray a few things with Febreeze and wear 'em for another week

Problem solved. :hi:

[rcrush]

23. Thats what I do with underwear!

Ladies love it.

[Kceres]

28. I've been wondering why my teen-age son takes so long to wash his underwear.

I actually do the washing, all he has to do is put it in the machine. Anyway, he's been turning his underpants inside-out when they get dirty. Ewwwwww!

[yellowdogintexas]

24. I have been known to rationalize myself into a new package of underwear

because I do not want to do laundry that particular evening.

[tigereye]

25. no, I have a kid and that would be prohibitively expensive!

I have to do laundry every day or I get really behind and the kid would have to go to school in his pajamas, or something! :rofl:

[barb162]

27. No, but I feel that way about vacuuming.

Get new floors every week rather than vacuum. :)

[Left Is Write]

29. Sometimes. I don't mind the washing and drying, but I hate folding and putting away.

I'd rather iron than fold laundry.

*sigh* But I do it anyway.

[kayakjohnny]

31. See, but the prob with me, is that I wait so long between episodes, that when I'm forced to face

the music, it becomes a huge undertaking. If I'd chip away at it more frequently, like most normal folks do, I'd be OK. But it seems like such a waste of time, that I'm just not always willing to sacrifice those few hours to get it done. I just need to break down and pay someone I suppose.

[Left Is Write]

32. It's a huge undertaking for me all the time.

I have no idea how four people manage to generate so much laundry, but there it is.

[ikojo]

30. Yes, I did that at one time. I had a job where we had 30 hours a

month of mandatory overtime. By the time the weekends came around I was EXHAUSTED and too tired to schlep my clothes to the laundry.

[1gobluedem]

35. Yes, I know that feeling

But right now I dread doing laundry (although I am) because there are mice in the basement and SO (the trap setter and disposer of mice) is out of town. :scared:

[cemaphonic]

36. My bachelor great-uncle was like that.

[I Have A Dream]

37. No, because I wouldn't wear the new clothes without washing them...

first anyway. :(
