OK... I cannot see from the FML that it was the clothes he was upset for. If you're irresponsible, you probably won't make it up by folding his clothes

Well there you have it. A responsible person would be folding their own laundry.

Guys come on, even if (s)he isn't responsible in other matters, I think the dad should at least be kind about it. Yelling at someone, even your own child, while they are trying to be supportive to you in some way, is just not cool. OP was folding the -dads- laundry, which is honestly a nice thing to do. Being aggressive right away isn't always the answer in raising children, y'know? tl;dr, dad, be nice about it please.

being irresponsible and doing chores are 2 different things.

Does your dad work? If he's just a lazy slob with no job who doesn't work around the house, then that sucks. However if he works and provides for the family, then he is doing YOU a great service in teaching you to do chores appropriately. My husband and I both work and we have 4 children. The oldest 2 are 10 & 9. They do their own laundry and each of them do a load of my husbands laundry. They also have other chores as do our 7 & 5 year old. And when they get out on their own and know exactly how to take care of themselves, they will be grateful, and you should be as well. Parents are supposed to teach their kids, and hopefully that's what your dad is doing.

My dad is kinda like the first scenario you mentioned; he's unemployed and refuses to look for work. He still expects my mom and me to come home after work and fix dinner most nights, do the laundry, sweep and mop the floors, clean the house, and take care of the pets. Idiotically enough, my mom puts up with it; I just high-tail it to my boyfriend's apartment.

What did he think you had done that was so irresponsible? I feel like there are details missing. Just because you fold laundry doesn't mean you didn't go out and do something irresponsible beforehand.

This is how things work in my home as well.

I was cleaning the dishes and my mum comes in and says "no one ever helps around here"

Was she being passive-aggressive and yelling it throughout the house so that your siblings/dad would hear it and feel bad about not helping with chores? It may have been a compliment and that she appreciates your help, but I don't have enough information here.
