Someone just texted this to me. It's always nice to realize you are not alone.

"I just read your missive on laundry. I too have chafed for years about laundry. When I leave it to others, clothes shrink, or they don’t get folded right away and end up wrinkled. If they do get folded, they sit in bushels and then people rummage through the bushels rather than put them away resulting in the clothes becoming unfolded, wrinkled and disorganized, etc etc etc. And, should the planets align and someone makes the effort to put the laundry away, they don’t put the clothes away in the right place, which is the same as throwing those items away. Let’s not even talk about the folding methods, which are unacceptable by any measure. Then there are the socks. God forbid someone take an extra 10 min to match socks and put them away.

Anyway, why write about this? Why rant? Because someone has to care. How you do anything is how you do everything. If you are going to f up laundry, how can I trust you with something more important? Take a little pride. Don’t cut corners. Do it right the first time. I don’t expect anyone will listen, but I’ve said my peace.

F'ers"
