Getting creative when ya run out of laundry

So I'm doing the laundry today. I hate doing the laundry. I live in the upstairs apartment, the laundry room is three flights down an outdoor stairwell and it's raining. Believe me, this is not out of choice. It's out of necessity cause it's been about 3 weeks since I've washed anything. I'm down to shorts with a hole in the back and my mountain hardware jacket. In fact that's what I'm planning on wearing as I make the trek to the laundry room with a 100-pound basket of clothes. Yesterday I wore my bikini bottom for underwear and a sleeping bag while walking around the apartment. Difficult but warm. Anyone else wait till the last minute to do the laundry, or am I the only one walking outside in November in a pair of old shorts?

ha :) ....

the same thing happens to me all the time. particularly because i have to wash my uniform after every single shift.

in your scenario i go commando, gank a pair of the nerd's shorts and pull on a sweatshirt/coat to get the laundry run done.

ummm, you MAY want to edit out the "shorts with hole in the back", otherwise, the flaming will commence...have you gone past the stage of turning the panties inside out and wearing ski gear as your daily attire yet?

This thread is the definition of worthless without pics.

Ya got me, I am wearing my bikini bottoms right now...

Leah, I have a solution.

Give me your address.
I'll come by.
You can use my stomach you dirty, dirty girl... :biggrin:
No need to leave the house. Ever.




Yep. I wait till the last second then spend a whole day doing them all. Just don't get your load of favorites (y'know, that first load that has all your important shit in it) stolen like happened to my brother. We were paying attention around the 'hood looking for people wearing his clothes for weeks. Nothin'. After that I was always paranoid of leaving clothes in detached community laundry rooms.

a little from column a (going commando) and a little from column b (wearing my snowboard mountain hardware jacket as I type this). For the record the hole in my shorts is on the back right leg. No butt action has occurred.

pictures would be worthless. unless you want a shot of my head poking out of a sleeping bag. i'm too cheap to turn on the heat.

damn, mental image TOTALLY failed, thanks SOOO much, now I actually have to get back to studying econ for managerz. WHAT a let down (cept for the commando part).

This has always been me! Luckily the new apartment has a washer/dryer in the unit so I will just use it as my hamper. So stoked!

I have to add another aspect of awesome to this thread. Since i'm doing the laundry I figured I'd clean up the rest of the apartment. I just found a new form of mold growing on something that used to be food in my sink. Anyone want home-made penicillin? I gross myself out.

HA! I have a washer/dryer inside my house, but still only do laundry every couple months. If I run out of clean underwear I usually just go to Wal-Mart and buy some more.

i do the exact same thing... but this thread has inspired me to do laundry today

Lucky bastards. I used to do laundry a couple times a week when I had a full-sized washer and dryer in my unit. Now I have to drive to the Laundromat and stand around waiting for machines to be free, then run over and grab them before someone else does. So I wait a month or so until I’m really out of clothes. On Friday, in a total downpour, I wore flip-flops, short shorts, and a halter top, ‘cause they were the only things that didn’t need washing to do six weeks of laundry. I gained an extra two weeks with some new underwear from Costco. ;)

EVER??? cmon...be honest.

when i first got seperated i rented a house with no laundry machines. I had to use the laundramat. The people there were really nice. They even gave me my own nickname. Honky.

I attended college for a semester once... At this college, you got a $50 gift certificate to the bookstore as a part of your registration. No laundry was washed until all my clothes were dirty, and the $50 had been spent on discount rack clothes from the bookstore.

ladies, baby jesus is crying. Make him stop.

pix or it didn't happen.

and you KNOW you don't want to make beby jeebus cry

yeah, just went to the laundromat with a full car of laundry yesterday.. waited too long. 4 bags and 2 baskets, 2 triple washers and 7 doubles. got everything (mostly) dry and wondered where my other empty bag was... i had left it on top of the washers i had used earlier, and hadn't removed clothing from yet. got to go through another dry cycle after all other clothes were done. damn it damn it damn it. our combo washer/dryer is on order. i am so fucking excited. it should be here before christmas. only question is, save all laundry till it gets here, or do small amts of laundry at laundromat until it gets here?

wear dirty clothes?

Now that I have 2 laundry appliances and a girlfriend who does laundry more often (barely) than I would no creativity is needed. Usually just a housecoat flasher style.

I've gone to the laundromat in swim trunks and greasy coveralls, and I think the time that got the most looks was when all I had was boxers, a white chem suit from work and a rain jacket. My ski gear was in a locker at the hill, and I had just moved into a new place. Being the slob I am I packed all my clothes without washing them.

My car wouldnt start, not enough money for a cab. and I desperatlely needed my stuff clean. I pulled a shopping cart out of the gully behind the place and pushed my dirtly laundry the few blocks to the laundromat.

I was there for at least 6 or 7 hours. Way too sketchy of a neighborhood to leavy my laundry unattended. And my cart got stolen.

Ms. Shred has been doing my laundry lately, but I do more of the dishes. Is this fair? I'm not sure.

Once upon a time when I worked in the cube, I had a coffee cup that I left up on my tall file cabinet. I would take it down every year or so and say "hmm, look at that!" I think it went from coffee to gunk to mold to a likeness of Phyllis Diller then back to mold state and finally like in the sixth year it was emitting a faint glow and I could hear some humming coming from the cup.

I finally had to wash it out before I left (no fucking way I was giving up this mug, it had two pigs dressed like french people sitting in a cafe and being served coffee by a gorilla) and as revenge I did not throw out the sponge after I washed the "contents" of the mug down the sink. I'm sure that sink will never clog again. And those people in the legal department will probably now live forever as they use that sponge every day to wash out their soup bowls and tupperware containers and the residue probably not only cures but prevents the aids, swine, and avian flu. (that's my revenge on the rest of the municipal building--and the world, a superhuman legal department that lives forever)
