Man Attacks Stain in Trousers...Destroys Apartment Mon Oct 13,10:36 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man may wish he had stuck with having dirty trousers after an imaginative attempt to purge a stubborn paint stain on them destroyed his apartment.
The unnamed Muscovite added a liter of petrol to his washing machine to help dissolve the stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday, but the ensuing explosion wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls.
Moscow police confirmed there had been an explosion in a south-eastern Moscow apartment, but would not comment on the cause.

This is exactly why I've argued for years that women should be completely in charge of doing the laundry.

Too bad he didn't just paint other parts of his trousers and start a fad.

LOL! This is why my wife won't let me do the laundry....
All women may not read beyond this point ..Men Only!
Clue to all you newlywed guys....Screw-up one load of laundry with one of your wife's favorite items, and she will restrict you from doing laundry for life!
Worked for me for 25 years now and counting!

BTW - This approach also works with other household chores

Lemme give you a hint!
It works for the laundry but nothing else. Except cooking. But the deal is, I cook. He washes the dishes.
Hubby washed his new red nightshirt with the "whites" the year we got a washing machine for the first time. That would have been when we moved from an apartment to a house, in 1982. He indeed has not washed a single load of laundry since. But the downside is, he had to wear pink undershirts and undershorts until they wore out . . .

Hrmpt,
My hubby did that once.
So from then on, I did my laundry and let him do his own.

This reminds me of one of the funniest episodes of Fraiser that I've ever seen. Niles has a stain on his pants and by the time he's done, he's passed out from seeing blood and the couch is on fire...
very funny!
