I had to give the help some time off and Mrs. Dragon (no pics) is out of town (probably banging one of you) so without my usual staff at the mansion and without my subservient missus to do my laundry for me I am alone to work the wash-a-matron and drying-auto-matron.

How on God’s green Earth do we survive as a society when every single piece of clothing comes out inside-out???? 100%. Not a single piece of clothing comes out of the drying machine without first needing to be reversed by hand.

If we want to single-handily double the GDP of the entire Earth, we just need to invent a way for clothing to never be inside-outed ever again.

Eff this and eff everything. CSB. Rant over.

My problem is the females in Just Say OV's house apparently can not take off an article of clothing to throw down the laundry without first making it inside out......pants, shirt, socks, etc.....

So I find my bigger problem when putting in a load of laundry is having to make everything right-side out first.

I wouldn't want to know how much of my adult life has been devoted to this task.

Are you saying you put the laundry in right side out, but by the time it comes out of the dryer, it’s inside out?

The issue at my house is my entire family, except me, leaves their clothes inside out when putting in the laundry basket. Sometimes it’s half inside out, as in one pant leg or sleeve. Socks are the worst. Either inside out or balled up.

I often do the laundry at our house and it takes as much time right siding the clothes as it does to fold them.

I also hate matching socks. When my no pic wife does the laundry, she throws the socks from the dryer into a tall laundry basket. She will let it pile up and pile up. Nobody in my house will effing match up socks. Every 2-3 weeks I have to sort through the giant basket of socks and match them up for each family member. Otherwise, everyone picks their socks from the laundry room basket every morning.

Argh!

The inside-out clothing is SOTE type behavior. I love my kids, but for the love of everything sacred TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.

Are you me in another timeline?

We have an entire laundry basket dubbed "sock basket", where these heathens just gab two of whatever. I might be the only person here who wears matching socks.

Washing clothes inside out is actually the smart thing to do if you want to minimize piling, abrasion to the fabric / print / embroidery, and generally make your clothes last longer. I purposely turn all my clothes inside out before washing. The balled up clothes is unacceptable though.

I swear to whoever people worship, that if my kids say anything resembling your post when I pester them about the laundry, I will hunt you down and fail miserably at beating you up.

Honestly, I don’t keep track of how the laundry goes in. I assume it is all going in right-side-out and gets transformed & reversed by demonic laundry leviathans!

For YEARS I fought NDallasDaughter over laundry. Every shirt she ever took off had one sleeve in and one sleeve out. And pants? One leg in, and one leg out. EVERY ONE!! She almost HAD to be doing that on purpose! I'm glad she got old enough to be responsible for her own laundry, so I didn't have to ever deal with that again!

I can not wait for the day I don't have to do my daughters laundry anymore....

What's hilarious while we are on topic is my daughter HATES to put her laundry away.....me and the No-Pic can have her basket of cloths all folded nice and just sitting there ready for her to put away but I think our daughter would rather be getting water boarded than actually have to do that. BUT what funny is we live in a 2 story house + basement with laundry in the basement and she will walk down from her upstairs bedroom almost every morning to check the laundry to see if she has that 1 particular article of clothing she wants to wear that day clean our not and if it is, she'll grab that and walk all the way back upstairs to get ready.

So I just can't fathom how putting your cloths away ONE TIME is worse than going down and up 2 stories of stairs every single day but I digress....

This. Treat any spots with the Shout or whatever and turn inside out for the wash. Your choice to turn right side out before you put it in the dryer or wait until you pull it out when it’s dry and fold/hang before it wrinkles.
By the way ladies undies never go in the dryer. Keep a drying rack next to the W/D so they can be air dried.
Men are SO clueless.

Wake up. Choose outfit from hamper. 15 minute wash while I space out on the toilet. Flush. Switch laundry to dryer. Assemble lunch. Shower/shave/teeth/hair. Get dressed in warm unwrinkled clothes at the dryer. No folding, no hanging, no sorting, no putting away laundry. I actually got rid of my dresser.

I’m trying to convince my wife that we should have 2 dishwashers and fewer cabinets. One dishwasher to pull clean dishes from and one to put dirty dishes in. She’s not buying it. Yet.

For me it was the sheer volume of laundry of clothes the daughter generated. Like 80 percent of the 3 person household. Had to be multiple wardrobe changes. Or as I suspected, she just didn’t want to put the clothes away so would send them through the cycle

Hmmmm.... I'll have to ask the Laundry staff here at Tradition Manor if this is actually an issue.

This is freaking brilliant.
 
How come we have designed a mass produced Washer Dryer pair that has the ability to move the fresh washed and spun clothes to the dryer when done and then automatically start with the preselected dryer setting.

For that matter, I'm not sure why a washer and dryer can't be the same machine.

I got so sick of this I started putting all my laundry in the wash inside out hoping that would make them come out of the dryer right side out, but they did not. Somehow no matter how the clothes go into the wash they always come out inside out.

This sounds awful. I would stop helping with laundry completely if that was the method.
 
Wife does laundry, and she's not very good at it. She's good at washing the clothes. Terrible at folding and putting them away. I get most of my my button collared shirts and sweaters dry cleaned. $3.50 per collared shirt, pressed and perfect, is well worth the the money.

I do the laundry for my wife(no pic) and I. She NEVER puts her clothes right side out and it drives me crazy. I spend more time putting it the correct way when sorting clothes than anything else. As far as my 3 teenage daughters (no pics), they all have to do their own laundry. I refuse to do theirs.
