Laundry
I like doing dishes.. I don't mind grocery shopping.. the dreaded chore is doing LAUNDRY.
The laundry room in this apartment a little closet sized hell-hole. We have 4 dryers and two washers. 2 of the dryers don't work, 1 pretends to work but doesn't actually dry your clothes. The only dryer that really works works so well that clothes come out piping hot and shrunken if you don't set it for a short enough time, and the room becomes a fucking sauna. I came down while one of the washers was on its spin cycle, and the machine was shaking so violently that I took a couple of steps to the side in case it exploded and the door flew off. Add to all this the fact that I have no proof my clothes are actually coming out cleaner than before, and just the amount of TIME that's wasted in the process... Hate hate stab kill. I can't cook either, but there are plenty of restaurants that employ people who can.

I dont mind doing laundry except
when I leave my clean laundry in the washer for a few days (ewww it isnt so clean after that :239: ) or when Im too lazy to seperate (all the time) and I turn white things pink or grey :091: or when the dryer takes 12 cycles to dry things :154: (ok thats mostly cuz I always forget to clean the lint thing) or when it comes time to put clean laundry away and there is no room in my drawers or closet - so I just throw it on my bed and sleep with it until I run out of clothes and have to wear whats now less clean and wrinkly ok perhaps I dont like doing laundry as much as I previously imagined

I love doing laundry! Seperating the whites from the colors and the darks. And watching them come out so fresh and nice smelling :)

oh don't get me wrong, I LOVE doing laundry. I love doing all those domestic things.
The best thing about laundry is the vanilla dryer sheets! Then afterwards I fold everything in the perfect and anal way I learned from years of working retail...it's all kind of a zen experience for me haha really..I'm a nerd :( Last edited by miss.myra; May 25, 04 at 11:32 AM.

VANILLA LAUNDRY DETERGENT?!?!
i love doin laundry as well.. i like taking care of my clothes. i guess im spoiled with having the washer and dryer at home. i think having to to go to the laundromat would be a diff story. draggin it to the place and having to wait around til its done..wow that would be a pain. i usually do 3 loads of laundry a week.. and handwash other clothes etc.. i love it. and cleaning my shoes and sprayin it with shoe protector spray..OH I LOVE IT. such a fuckin geek.

When i was little my mom used to take the warm clothes outta the drier and pile them on top of me. :)
I love putting my clothes in the dryer like right before i put them on so they're nice and warm too.

I don't mind doing my Laundry. I'm just lazy when I do it... Basket ---> Washer... none of that sorting noise for me. Washer set to Stun... Dryer set to Kill and I'm done in an Hour. :)

Jim/Cubed and I can go a month+ without doing laundry.
Of course, that usually results in having to do 8-10 loads of laundry. Since our building only has two washers and dryers, we save time by lugging all our shit to a laundromat. Laundry's done every three weeks on average. I love sorting clothes too. I have a wonderful system I developed when I was 11 and had to do my entire family's laundry every week. --white socks and undies --white towels ( I have lots of white towels) --whites in general --light colours (towels can be thrown in this pile) --dark colours --blacks (i throw black socks and undies in this pile usually) --reds/oranges [ok, those were rules my mom had] I can usually get away with just doing --whites X 2 loads --light colours X 2 --dark colours X 2 --blacks X 2 loads --coloured towels Tip: If you fold/hang your clothing the second they come out of the dryer, you wont have to iron them later.

I dislike doing laundry... a lot.... It's time consuming, and I own a whole shitload of clothing... I mean a shitload...
And I am one of those people that dryes everything on the delicate cycle, because I hate my clothing shrinking in the slightest...

I loooove to do laundry. but. I hate the set up. and the fact that we have no dryer. so I have to hang everything. and everything gets stiff. or the lugging to the 'mat. and the discontinued my favorite peach sheets. and everytime I have to deplete my ever dwindling hoard. but other than that its love.

I just dropped mine off at the laundrymat on the way to work today and picked it up on the way home!
For 8 bucks, someone did it for me! I was amazed because the woman did an amazing job of folding things, and she even colour coded all my stuff (just like I do!)..which is nice, because I am waay too exhausted for laundry today
