  1. Sorry if this is the wrong group but can't find one appropriate:::

    I am bacheloring it for a few months, doing my own laundry at home.

    My question is: There are times I only wear something for just an
    hour at a meeting or otherwise.

    I can't see washing them [shirt, sox, pants [no not underwear]] after
    an hour's use. So I hang them on a coat hanger and wear them again.
    Is this illegal [I mean, is it politicly correct]. Makes sense to me
    but the beautiful wife is appalled.

    Help [I learned to hate laundry]

    If you've only had something on for an hour and haven't sweated a lot in it
    or spilled stuff on it, then I see no need to wash it. I wouldn't include
    socks in there though. Feet do tend to sweat.

    Yeah, especially if she's BEAUTIFUL, know what I'm saying? Hell man, wash
    your clean clothes all you have to.

    If it's not dirty/stained/spilled on, and it's not stinky, gooey, or
    wet, then of course you can wear it again! Good for you for hanging it
    up neatly instead of just tossing it in the corner of the bedroom like
    most males do!

    include socks in there though. Feet do tend to sweat.

    If I 'have' to stop in a fast-food place, or sit down at Borders coffee
    shop, or sit in a dental chair where other butts have been sitting, I always
    wash my pants (slacks), no matter if I'm gone an hour.

    I might save the top to wear outside walking later in the day.
    Socks always get tossed in the laundry after wearing.

    DH doesn't even put them on a coat hangar, he tosses them on a peg in the
    hallway.
    Your beautiful wife is lucky.

    Wash the socks, undies and undershirt if you wore one. Hang the shirt and
    pants in the closet all nice and tidy and you'll be just fine. Unless of
    course you spilled on them.

    Just how beautiful is the wife? She must be a hottie for you to put up
    with her nagging about your laundry.

    Every man should have been raised with sisters; he will understand the word,
    "nagging" a little better. I wonder if the OP had a sister, or older
    sister, I should say.

    Once a week on laundry day I get out the rake and collect my clothing
    from around the house. Once collected I wash it. I mostly wear blue so no
    sorting headaches for me.

    My wife usually does the laundry. Apparently I don't do it right. I tend
    to put the wrong things together in loads., not to mention the time that I
    tossed her good wall skirt in with dark load. It was in the hamper, so I
    figured it was for a dark load. No I didn't read the label. Nor do I read
    the label of everything else that I put in the washer. If I am running low
    on socks, underwear, shirts or whatever, I do a load of laundry. It's no
    big deal.... a jew minutes of sorting (not enough sorting I hear), throw it
    in the washing machine, add detergent, and turn a knob. Take it out and
    hang it outside on a nice day or into the dryer. I don't have a lot of
    sympathy for people who whine about how much work it is to do the laundry.
    The machines do most of the work. I remember the wringer washer we had when
    I was a kid. Now that was work.

    when I was married I got out of doing laundry due to the fact I washed my
    steel toed rubber boots in the machine....wasn't allowed to touch it
    after that...And putting the forks in the dishwasher with the tines down
    got me out of dish washing duty.

    These days tines up or down...doesn't seem too much difference and in my
    newer front load washer I would never wash my steel toed rubber boots in
    it I like it too much plus I have no idea where they got too.(The ex
    probably threw them out years ago.)

    My wife got out of lawn mowing by stalling the mower every two minutes. It
    was more work to keep going out and starting it for her than to just do the
    mowing myself. However, she saw it within herself to buy me a tractor
    mower, though she refuses to learn how to use it.

    I have laundry baskets that I put dirty clothes in, so they can be dumped in
    the washer when they are full, takes no thinking, no sorting.

    However, DH will 'accidently' reach over into a different basket and put a
    piece of colored clothing in with a washer load of bleached whites.
    Sometimes I think guys' brains are wired wrong. ;-)

    Years ago we bought a new washer that was just terrible. We called in a
    service man. The jist of it was that I didn't know how to sort clothes.
    Not only that, DH stood there in agreement. Amazed!

    Oh I agree with you Dee. I had three sisters and no brothers.
    I learned what nagging was, and how to hold and extended bladder.
    Of course when I married my first wife, I found out how bad nagging
    could get.

    It is obvious, according to the service man and your husband, that you
    are not capable of doing the laundry. So they should do it. ;-)

    Well, I kept DH and threw the other guy out the door.
    It seems to work this way at our house:
    DH does every nasty washload that necessitates a bleach wash.
    DH does all the nasty clothes he wears outside.
    He will fold all these loads he does.
    When he travels to his dad's, he doesn't bring home dirty clothes!

    But I confess, I'm married to a curmudgeon. :-) I can't figure out if he
    was that way all along or just became one gradually. These things are hard
    to figure out.

    it's true that laundry issues don't often arise during courtship
    unless you have a extremely vigorous sex life.
