A Terrible Tale

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?!?!?!?

Wait, the sock monster didn't consume them all?

I wish I had such problems...

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...

Funny post. :D

Solution: Give back all Saint's socks?

I know exactly what you mean about socks, I have a similar situation, but I could easily remedy it if I were less lazy, at least 20% of those socks are single socks, since the washing machines I use seem to love to devour one sock in a pair (which I'm fairly certain is exactly what happens since once I pulled out 3/4 of a pair of socks).

As far as arcane washing instruction, that's what dry cleaners are for :)

Throw out those that don't fit into the drawer. The holey old ones will do.

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

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)

size is everything

I would have thought it was obviouse,

get smaller feet, thus smaller socks.. thus fit the draw
