ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CLUB

[jetcone]

Well I have to report appliance abuse right in my own home!!

Tina is getting married today so I offered my laundry room to her. But her mother & I just found out she is a COS_Chronic Overloader Syndrome.

We found a whole queen size comforter stuffed into the dryer along with a whole load of clothes!

We found a radio car key device ( aka Blip Blip) had been thru the wash.
We found MONEY --YAY!

Shes a " jammer" and as a member I have to make a full report.

[jetcone]

Although going thru the wash and dryer

The blip blip was just tested and it still works!

OH BTW THERE WAS NO COLOR SORTING!

 

[foraloysius]

Oh lawdy!!!! In your own basement? And caught red handed? A miracle that you didn't go into cardiac arrest! Did Aloysius notice anything or was he hiding under the bedcovers again? And is her soon to be husband notified? If I was him I'd call of the marriage. Perhaps you can give her a huge stack of those color protection sheets that go with the laundry in the washer. Hmmmm, in a few years she will be using those laundryballs and wash everything on cold!!!!

Shivering in Groningen even while it's warm weather!

 

[appnut]

I feel sorry for her husband top be. Nothing like someone who doe laundry terribly.

 

[jasonl]

Sorry but

WOMEN CAN'T DO LAUNDRY.

It's MAN's work, proven time and time again.

Laundry is a logical thing. You must sort clothes by type/color. Measure and use the right chemicals. Select the right cycle on the washer.

I had to even teach Helen NOT to wash towels in cold water on the PP cycle... in a belt drive Whirlpool (imagine the drying time).

And my mom... You know how much I ranted on my mom doing my laundry. Let's not go there.

 

[frigilux]

Well, Jon Charles, you have a duty, today. When the minister says "If anyone present knows a reason why these two people should not be united in holy matrimony"...spill the beans!!

 

[myhooverco]

You mean you can't just chuck it all in one load? As long as the lid does not pop open, I keep adding clothes. Then I just throw in some soap and away I go! My Whirlpool is now almost 9 years old and it still is purring away. Seems like such a waste to use the "small" load setting. I even stuff our king size comforter in there with the rest of the bed sheets. Plenty of room for all!!!

Now vacuum cleaner abuse is another story! That is not tolerated in my home!LOL!

[tlee618]

How HORRIBLE Jon, which of your machines did she abuse?? Well my boy I think "laundry 101" is in order for this young woman!!!

 

[irishwashguy]

Wow!

Laundry is a man's job! I will second that!I dare say that i would cringe at the amount of detergent that she used,or the lack there of. I had a roomate a long time ago that I had to teach to use the washer properly, i hope that it stuck. I retured the box Sun detergent, There is no way she was using that in my nice washer and dryer.Sun Detergent, ewwwww!!! You might as well wash your clothes with dirt. ------Ritchie, an anvocate in the prevention of Cronic overlaod syndrome (COS)

 

[washertalk]

Dissss-gusting !

Sounds like someone needs a good talking to.
Just, remember
to keep calm.
Don't project,
Educate.

Give her the benefit of the doubt that SHE CAN get better.

Talking to us was a good choice. We can offer you the support you need to get through this. That is what the AW.org site is about. helping one another.

((speaking under my breathe) darn ____, ____, what is this f__cki_ world coming..., queen size comforter with ...., where do these people...., AHHHHHH!, disgust...)

Off to the beach. Smile. )

 

[perc-o-prince]

Then I just throw in some soap and away I go!

I'm with you, Tom. Unless they're new darks that may bleed, pop it all in, throw in the soap, set it on warm/cold, and walk away. If I have enough whites to do it, like I did yesterday, I do a load of whites with hot water and bleach. I just use Price Chopper store brand no perfumes or dyes detergent, and no one's complained that our clothes or towels are dirty!

I just can't get that upset about laundry. I do agree, though, that stuffing it silly is just stupid and could damage the machine.

[selectomatic]

I used to stuff my TL to the top, but

My FL absolutely won't work if I overstuff. I know that it saves money and water and all that, but only at the cost of actually paying attention when I do laundry.

Oh well, at least I don't need to set the water level!

 

[Unimatic1140]

OMG Jon, I believe there is only one word for Tina when it comes to your laundry studio...

BANNED!

 

[westyslantfront]

My late Father would show off his dress shirts at the office and boast that his gay son did a better job on them than his wife. Of course, my late Mother was glad to give the laundry to me.
At church, I am known as "Our Lady Of The Laundry Room"
All the ladies on the Altar Guild are thrilled that I do all the church laundry.

Tina, Tom, and Chuck

All ya'll need a azz whoppin. Ya'll know bedda, you were taught bedda, and it has stap rat nah.

 

[toggleswitch]

Crafty aren't they?

uhm, in those situations when ineptitude is feigned, it makes the S.O. more or less HAVE to do the wash/chores.

~My late Father would show off his dress shirts at the office and boast that his gay son did a better job on them than his wife.
I shudder to think at what skills were imagined by my father to be my areas of talent.

I had a thing for cooking. (LOL)

 

[jetcone]

Yes Robert

BANNED she is! I finished all her laundry as a wedding present. No 3 loads in my dryer!

Her S.O. has gotten herself a job in NYC so they will be moving down there, look out Manhattan washers!

 

[foraloysius]

She'll never has to worry about laundry again if she becomes a real Manhattian. Drop it off at the laundromat and pick it up later...

 

[toggleswitch]

Louis you are SOOOOOO right; Manhattanites don't do laundry OR cooking.
