I used to wash once every three weeks but I don't wash clothes anymore. The fiancee feels like three weeks is too long a period so she does all the washing now. At the end of week three my clean clothing was like 80% depleted. Good old times. And yeah, lol at 10 pairs of pants in 2 weeks, I usually wear pants at least 3 times.

If you dry-clean every five days (5 shirts for £7.50 deal, you see), that means each suit gets worn five times. And it means my washing machine is more often doing linen than clothes, as one machine load of underwear covers a lot of days.

Washer and dryer in my building were wrecked a couple months ago and I had to use a laundromat in the meantime. It's been 10+ years since I've had to use a laundromat, but I don't remember all those 50 lb machines and whatnot. Luckily I had the cute Mexican female version of Villian help me out, or I would've been fairly lost. Like, you couldn't even go in and just stick quarters in the machine... you had to go fill up a card with money (good luck guessing how much you'll need!) and then swipe it into the machine several times for each load (I guess once for ~each quarter). Way too high tech for me.

I do laundry less than once a month and even then don't put pants in each time

When I moved to Tallinn, I rented a really nice place, 20ft ceilings, literally on the town square, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. But I didn't check to see if there was a washing machine, apparently this was a thing there.

So, I'd have had to use a laundromat, if such a thing existed. But as far as I could see, Tallinn had none. I ended up just taking my laundry to a mate's nearby. And on the plus side, the plumbing that should have led to a washing machine was being used for a bidet...

I wear jeans two or three times before washing them, unless I've been doing sweaty yard work or unless my dogs smear mud all over them. I usually wear work slacks twice before shipping them off to the dry cleaner.

I used to wash everything after wearing it once. Now I wash things only when they get dirty or start to smell. When one of those things happens, they go into the laundry pile. When I'm about to run out of clean somethings I need to wear, the pile gets washed.

I do laundry weekly but about 75% of it is stuff like socks, t-shirts, underwear and towels. I wash jeans probably once every 5-6 wears. More frequently in summer because of sweat and such.

Am I the only who thinks folding/hanging the clean clothes is about 100x worse than doing the actual washing/drying of them?
I usually try to put it off as long as possible and just take what I want to wear straight out of the dryer. Ideally I can do this long enough to cut the folding/hanging in half, but in reality the wife usually tries to use the dryer and yells at me after the first day. We really need 2 or 3 dryers.

How is this even a question, unless you're taking your clothes down to the river and slamming them on rocks?

Riveting laundry talk old chaps.

My wife's brother turned 40 recently. When she gave me the card to sign, I noticed that she had written "Hope your 40th year is a good one" or something like that. I pointed out that he'd already completed his 40th year, which was in fact the reason we were sending him a card. She threw the card away and we sent another one with no mention of the upcoming year.

Villain,

I use a wash 'n' fold place that picks up and delivers. Every so often I will get back an article of someone else's clothing. Standard?

I dreamt this last night
Maybe I need to wash my clothes more often.

lol phone posting

Not a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan I guess

United Airlines PR dept having a great start to the week.

This is awesome.

Also, in college we used to go down to a laundromat that was across from a favorite bar. We'd start things off, chat up the old ladies that were always there, come back from the bar 2 hours later and everything would be done and folded. Chat up the old ladies again and pay them back for the money they used in the dryers (plus a little more) and be on our way. Easiest clean clothes ever.

Do you have better low content to add, or would you rather snipe?

Had to google that

Dude was a doctor who didn't want to miss his shift at the hospital.

I've rarely flown United, but it seems that every time I do I have the opportunity to get a voucher because they've overbooked. Free money. Kinda crazy that no one on that flight took them up on the $800 they were offering.

That footage was ridiculous. I would imagine a better solution would be to announce "this plane can't take off until we have a volunteer to take the next flight" and them move the price up in fifty dollar increments.

Calling in a crew of thugs to forcibly deplane someone strikes me as overkill, and by a long measure.

Larry,

I think United really sucks as an airline and I go out of my way not to fly them whenever possible, but I don't really think it's reasonable for United to be catching flak over this issue. They tried offering compensation for voluntary bumping, then had to go to involuntary bumping, and when the guy refused to leave they called the police to get him off the plane. If people have a problem with the way he was removed (which doesn't look all that unreasonable to me), they should be complaining about the police, not United.

Yeah, hilarious how dumb United is. If you're going to overbook then you need to eat the consequences when you get the unlikely event that everyone shows and no one will take $800. You can't cap your losses at $800 then call in people to knock the paying customer out and drag them off the plane like a rag doll. If that means paying thousands it is what it is. Overbooking is still massively +EV for the airlines, unless of course you have a doctor assaulted and have to pay out millions in a lawsuit

Edit - El D I really really disagree with that. They should keep upping the compensation until someone accepts. If that's like $3,000 then that's the cost of overbooking.
