Growing up, I had to take all my clothes to the laundromat.
Even into my late 20s, I didn't have my own machines.

Now I do. You will never see me complain about doing laundry.
It's maybe even a little zen to get all the stuff washed, dried,
folded and put away. I happen to do it all on Sunday because I
have time-of-day electric rates and it would hardly put a dent
in reading to swap out loads and fold. It's really not that time
consuming.

But hey ... it doesn't bother me if people leave their stuff
in a basket. Everyone's got their own way of doing things.

I could fold those sheets in the time it takes to read a couple
of pages. If I spent an hour on it, I could see it being a large
waste of time. It's inconsequential to me.

Drying dishes, now that I think is a waste of time, but other
people will disagree. And they have a sopping wet towel with which
to thwop anyone who disagrees, so they can carry on. Heh.

I wouldn't fold sheets that were going right back on the bed,
either.

Hey, you wear clean clothing to work, that's way more than I could
say for some. Works for me.
