Cardinal Rule Broken

[noblenewf]

LOL! The Hubby has a weird laundry sorting system too. He sorts clothes by FABRIC. Not color. I kept finding weird assortments of clothing in the dryer....whites with darks, etc. I finally asked him and he replied "Well, they are all cotton". I about died!

In our house it was never whites and darks.. It was always what runs and what does not, no matter the color. If it did not run, it could go in what might be considered a white load. If it ran, even if it was light colored, it went in what might be a dark load. Worked out great.

It must be a guy thing.

A guy thing?? Not MY guy!!! He is NOT allowed to touch the "human" laundry, ONLY the dog towels! Learned that the hard way!

Hehe, everything pretty much goes in a load with me and I use cold water. If something is really light and bright (very few things), I let Mom do it with hers since she is a bit more particular or very new that it may bleed a lot, I do them separate with like colors. Typically the only thing I wear regular that is white is socks.

Being on my own now and never having done laundry before, I asked some female friends to give me the down low on the...... how to. After getting an array of methods thrown at me I settled on - it all goes in hot water no matter what color! :clown:

I look at it like this, if I screw it up.... I throw it out! Right now I need to buy underwear...... but at least its always new! It gets me points. lol :heart:

When I was still living with my parents and starting to work on cars, I used an empty Tide bottle to put used engine oil in. I set it by the door to the house. Mom picked it up and thought it was a new bottle that my dad had picked up at the store. You can guess where this is going...

She put in a load of clothes and poured used engine oil in the washer ...... oooooops

Boy did I get a tongue lashing. :whistling:

Heeheehee! I let Andy do the laundry for like 3 straight years! He said he didn't want me to walk down the creeky steps carrying a big basket.
Ahhh, those were the days....I guess my womanly charms wore off!
Well, now we have new basement stairs, and new washer/dryer, so I guess I don't have any excuse. Darn!

I have to laugh at all this because Rich has taken over the laundry and will not allow colors to mix, therefore we wash whites, blues, greens, etc. I give him fits with my multicolored hand knit socks that are machine washable!
