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!

NeverGore :^)

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 is the well known Creative Incompetence promoted by Lawrence J Peter. Like any other tool used by men, it must be used for its designated purpose and not left laying around.

Bonus Free Clue: Same thing hold true in the kitchen as well. Substitute salt for sugar in a cake or microwave the potatoes three times as long as the recipe calls for, and you're on Easy Street!

Aw, c'mon, give us ladies a little credit here. We all know the ol' Screw Up the Laundry trick. You guys have been doing that as long as there have been washing machines.
