Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Washing machines and dryers are great, now can someone invent a fucking machine that folds that laundry too. I will often leave my work clothes in the laundry area so I can just blast them in the dryer for a minute instead of folding or ironing.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I'm lucky in that the Boss folds my laundry as well as hers because my drunk chimp skills so appall her. For the same reason that she hasn't learned to write proper footnotes—I'll fix them for her—I haven't bothered to learn to properly fold clothes.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I'm a bit of cheapskate by nature. I could be convinced to do half of that. With monthly no interest payments. My dryer is probably 20 years old and my washer 10 to 15. I fear having to get a new washer because the new ones have all these stupid sensors in them and it takes way too long to just run a wash.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 May 2019, 1:55pm$1000 according to the manufacturer's site: https://foldimate.com.
