people..... fold laundry?
Some even iron them for some reason.
I hate to admit it, but I've recently begun ironing my t-shirts... I hated how wrinkly they get after washing them... I can't be arsed every time though.
Use the permanent press mode on your dryer and take them out immediately after the dryer buzzes. You can’t just leave them in a scrunched pile though or they will still wrinkle, you have to fold them flat.
…still less work than ironing though.
Brave of you to assume someone got a machine dryer. My dryer got a bunch of long metal rods, is foldable and preferably uses solar power. ☀️
That also solves the wrinkle problem, as long as you have the climate and real estate for it.
Nah, I just leave everything in the dryer until I need it, or until I have to dry something else. Then, it gets tricky.
That's what the top of the dryer is for, I'm pretty sure.
I discovered this ten thousand fold technique; also known as crumpling them into the drawer along with the other laundry spheroids
Yeah, I roll mine.
I fold when I need the basket for the next laundry fml
Yep, sometimes I'll treat myself and have a clean basket and a dirty basket sitting there on the floor, but usually dirty clothes go in a pile until they build up to the point that there's a full load. Then when I build up the willpower to do laundry (usually about 120% of a proper 'load' that all just gets stuffed in together) then I'll rotate the basket.
I just use my washing machine as my dirty laundry basket. Take it off and not gonna wear it again? Toss it in the washer (or at least in a pile vaguely in front of the washing machine until I get around to actually putting them in.....)
Though, I have also ruined many towels this way because apparently zippers and stuff tend to want to rip out the looped fibers on them.
Wins are wins. As a former inpatient, you're awesome!
Why thank you

Reminds me i needed to do laundry 2 days ago
My turnaround time on folding laundry is down to three days. Truly I'm healing
