    Okay, so my husband has always bitched that I need to wait until the washer was full before I do laundry. (He has a point--it wastes electricity and our power bills lately have been over $300). So today I take all the darks that are dirty and put them in the washer but I didn't start it because it was only a 1/2 full load, and God forbid I wash a medium sized load! So anyway he gets home from work tonight and is going to be out of town tomorrow and is bitching and asking why he has no clean jeans, and he got upset with me because I didn't wash them. Pardon my french--I hope there are no young children here--but he can go fuck himself. I think from now on I'm going to stop doing his laundry. Fuck him!

    My sister cracked me up once. She and her husband lived in an apartment, no washer and dryer but they had hookups for it. He refused to buy a set. So she's getting ready to go to the laundromat one day and he is bitching about giving her money to go saying it's too frickin' expensive. She got really pissed off. So she went into the bedroom where the baskets of laundry where and took out all his underwear, then went to the laundromat. I heard the story the next day when I stopped by and he was washing out his underwear in the kitchen sink. I thought it was really funny!

    So funny there is a laundry post. I've been sick all week and barely getting anything done. DS15 said he was going to wash some clothes this afternoon. Since dh had to pick up the laundry soap it is not the usual Gain bottle in there. DS comes in and says "do I still have to add bleach to the whites?" Umm yeah. (?) Then he says he couldn't wash jeans because we don't have regular soap. Wth? "i guess it's got bleach or something because it says 'for dazzling whites'" smh You can't trust anyone with testosterone.

    I've been married 18 years. Well around year 14(?) we were watching Wanda Sykes stand up routine together where she talks about her SO complaining that he didn't have any clean undies and she walks over and says hers are all clean and he can borrow some. It is very funny, you should watch it! I was rolling but my husband had this epiphany and ever since that day he washes his OWN laundry once a week. THANK YOU WANDA!

    This makes me laugh because DH always complained I washed clothes too much. He'd wear something JUST to go to the store, then change when he got back, and leave the item on the rocking chair. After the rocking chair is filled up, I assume it should all be washed. As soon as it goes in the washer, he's looking for it, of course. "Why did you wash it, I only wore it for a minute" "well, you had 20 shirts laying there, if you were going to wear it again, you would have by now" This is CONSTANT with us!!

    When DH and I were young, he used to put his dirty clothes (specifically boxers) on the floor near the hamper. I got tired of picking them up, so I stuffed them into his pillowcase, which he discovered when he tried to go to sleep that night. Since then, everything goes into the hamper where it belongs!

    @rap422 My husband does the stockpiling thing with his shirts hanging over the railing at the end of the bed. My stance is if you're going to wear it again, hang it up! That is aggravating!

    why cant men just be happy they HAVE clean clothes? we have lived in this apt going on 2 yrs with no washer and dryer. so every 2 wks (when our clothes start to pile up or have absolutely nothing to wear) we get a roll of quarters and drag the gazillion loads of clothes to the laundry mat and wash all damn day. thry doin it in 110 degree weather. thank god we are moving next month and i get my own w/d no more dirty clothes!

    DH changes his clothes about 4 times a day. He gets up in the morning and puts his work clothes on, they get nasty from work, I get that, but then he comes home and puts on comfy clothes after showering and lays around for about an hour. That's the most he can sit still so he will get up and put on jeans and a t-shirt, plus hoodie if it's cold, and go outside and work in the garage. Which then requires another shower and clothing change back into comfy clothes before bed. For a family of 4 I do a ridiculous amount of laundry. I do a white load every day. A load of towels every day, and a load of regular clothes every day, mostly his. Thank God we have a well. I can't even imagine what our water bill would be!

    I don't know what I would do with myself if someone did all my laundry. I know for sure I would NOT complain!
