A Terrible Tale
May. 1st, 2003 11:04 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
In a blitz of ultra-efficientness Erin has slogged her way through several loads of washing over the last day or two and brough the pile down to a few items that need to be washed using methods so arcane that I swear the symbols on the washing machine move when you glance away.
This means that there are no dirty socks. You can of course, see the problem here - my sock drawer was never designed to take more than 3/4 of my socks, 1/4 being dirty at any one time. By cleaning all my socks at once (save for the pair on my feet) I've run out of sock-storage space!
What am I going to do now?!?!?!?

Date: 2003-05-01 04:17 pm (UTC)As for clothing that requires arcane washing methods, I just don't buy it -- I figure the pleasure of wearing such clothing cannot possibly be worth the torture and pain of washing by hand...

I need the data in my mission to convince Sean that more clothes/dishes just make for a bigger pile and if you have just enough the washing WILL get done cos it has to. (except he'd just go and buy mre, I know it)

As regards dishes - we have 5 plates. They get stuck in the dishwasher once a day and then nobody has to worry about them...
