Laundry day

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

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

You really don't need to use detergent on your clothes every time. Unless you are getting them very greasy, or it's perhaps an undershirt, normal wear should not require constant use of detergent. It's actually better for your clothes, as the water and agitation will sufficiently cleanse them. The detergent will start to wear them out faster.

Yeah. Plus if you use a shared machine, there's allegedly enough detergent left in the system anyway, if someone wants to do a detergent-free load every now and then.

Gotta say you deserve it. Do you also get out of the shower and say "Crap, I forgot to use soap!"

Or come out of the bathroom and say "crap, I forgot to wipe!"

You forgot to add laundry detergent five times in a row?

Detergent doesn't wash out of fabric well. I'm sure your clothes had enough left over from previous laundry days to get the job done. Especially if towels were involved at all.
