Deep clean

Today, my husband decided to drain his motorcycle oil into an empty bottle of laundry detergent. Also today, I decided to lift a stain out of my white comforter with some detergent I found in the garage. FML

Today, my husband decided to be helpful and do all the laundry, including pre-treating all the stains. He felt that Clorox Clean-Up with Bleach would be the most effective. FML

Today, it was laundry day. After my fifth and final load, I noticed I never added any laundry detergent. FML

Today, as I was about to go to bed, the lid came off a brand new bottle of laundry detergent and it toppled down my carpeted basement steps. 3 hours, 2 dozen microfiber cloths, and a bucket of water later and my steps are still full of suds. I went to bed at 3 am and my 10 week old was up at 4 am. FML

Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML

Today, I went to gather the laundry out of the dryer. My daughter had seen my wife put bleach in the washer, so she decided that honey in the dryer would make the clothes smell sweet. She wasn't wrong, but now I have a giant ball of sticky socks and underwear. FML

Today, I spilt purple washing detergent all over my white carpet. Desperate to get it up I grabbed a blue towel and started mopping it up. The detergent hasn't stained the carpet at all, the blue dye from the towel has. FML

Today, my wife complained that the coffee grounds I swept into the sink grossed her out. Yesterday, I removed several panty-liners from her soiled underwear before doing the laundry. FML

Laundry Day

By daqueen009 - 18/12/2020 17:04 - United States

Today, I had to do my laundry. Being too lazy to separate them into different colors, or even check the pockets of my jeans, I threw everything I own into one load. Turns out I had left a tin of lip balm in one of my pockets. My whole wardrobe is now covered in spots that won't come out. FML

Today, my dishes smelled so perfume-y after going through the dishwasher and a clean glass of water tasted soapy. I checked the pods my husband bought and loaded into the dishwasher to make sure we never got that brand again. They were laundry detergent pods. I was essentially a millennial eating a Tide Pod.

Hmm whats the difference between oil and detergent? Oh yes, one is jet black and smells. The other is a mushy blue colour. ******* idiot.

your husband should label shit like that. but you should also have enough brains to realize that if it were detergent it would be with the washer and dryer not randomly sitting in the garage.

Just because I hate that misconception of 5 senses: We actually have 10 senses: Vision (sight), audition (hearing), gustation (taste), olfaction (smell), mechanoreception (touch), equilibrioception (ballance and speed perception), thermoception (sense of heat), proprioception (sense where the parts of your body, for example your hand, are), nociception (pain) and finally, magnetoreception (perception of magnetism - we humans suck at that, birds are far better) That's not even counting the additional internal senses, for example the sense that tells you that you're hungry or full

"Well there's your problem..." Don't take everything for granted. Stumbling through everyday tasks is a good way to "get your shit ****** up," wether it's just the wrong laundry detergent, or putting diesel in an unleaded only vehicle, or mixing bleach and ammonia and getting a lungful of deadly chlorine gas... I like to think of it as natural selection.
