So, I do laundry, why are the same pieces, after I put them right side out, even some pants, including jeans, come out the wrong way after the drying is over, lol....

You know that you put all socks into the washer with their mates. But at least one pair of socks loses its mate in the dryer - only to show up again days later when another load of laundry is dried. AND THE MISSING SOCK WAS NOT IN THE WASHER OR THE DRYER, DESPITE YOU CHECKING THEM AS THE WASHER WAS LOADED!
Any solid-color knit shirt will pick up a visible stain on first wearing that will never come out again.
Pants that went into the laundry cycle intact will come out with frayed edges at the heel.
New flame resistant clothing, despite being dried at extremely low heat, will off-gas enough flame retardant when the dryer is opened, to nearly cause your wife to pass out.
Even if your auto & hobby utility rags have no visible dust, grease, or odor on them, don't even think of putting them in the washer with regular towels - your wife will KNOW and you'll never hear the end of it.
In fact, you can get out of ever having to do laundry again by washing your wife's clothes once in hot water and then drying them on high heat. (fact!)
Boom

Boom DO NOT PUT THOSE OILY/GREASY RAGS IN THE DRYER. They can/will catch on fire, I’ve seen it first hand. Luckily I was folding the previously dried load when I smelled smoke. I opened the dryer and there was smoldering of the rags. I pulled the bundle out and as I walked down the hall to dispose of outside the bundle flamed up. If you know any insurance adjuster they can tell you how common it is. |

We were once evacuated from a Holiday Inn 🏨 (laundry room fire) somebody put something in a dryer that wasn’t supposed to be there. Rather frightening with flame and smoke, but luckily they got it under control quickly. Visiting my daughter in college at the time. Bill |

In Massachusetts it's illegal to put tomatoes or tomato by-products in clam chowder. One of the 'Blue Laws' still on the books.
MAsshole has many strange Blue Laws that are still on the books.

Never put a bong in the dishwasher! Now that's the best advice I've seen in about 50 years. |

Don't eat those !

Had the Commiefornia version of "New England" chowda at Hog Island Oyster Co. in S.F. a few months ago: I thought it was pretty darned tasty - lots of small, whole clams in a broth that was white but a bit on the thin side. Ate the clams first then sopped-up the broth with some crusty rustic break-apart bread of some sort washed it down with some un-filtered Anchor Steam lager |

Sheriff of an old eastern NC town told me years ago that laws were still on the books, you can't bring an ugly mule to town on Sunday. It is legal to beat your wife but only on Sunday on the courthouse steps.
Funny that laws never seem to be taken "off" the books, just more added.

Here's one that happened to me. My wife and I were kayaking in the Indian River Lagoon a couple years ago. As we stopped at a few spoil islands, we would search for shells for her mother. When we got home I placed the collected shells on top of our dryer which is in the garage. A couple hours later, I took some garbage out and noticed one of the shells was in the large basin sink next to the dryer. I didn't think much of it because I figured the wife or the dog accidentally knocked in there. The next morning I went to gather up the shells so we could take them over to the in law's house. That shell I earlier found in the sink was gone, no where to be found. Confounded I asked the wife if she moved it. She had not. I returned to the garage and heard a faint scratching with an occasional clank sound. I pulled the kayaks from the wall and saw our shell walking along the wall and headed towards the door. Seems our shell was inhabited by a rather large hermit crab.

I'm looking for similar stories, doesn't have to be about laundry, one of those that are funny and weird, and true.... I am am a carpenter. My company hired a guy who graduated high school last year. I will call him Austin, because that is his name. The first day my foreman told him to use the forklift and load up seven 2x4s,(they are 14ft. long), and bring them over to the work area. About 5 minutes later he walks up to us and says, “ Are those the square-ended ones or the other ones?”. There was a stack of 4x4s next to the stack of 2x4s. He is now in community college, ha! I now refer to him as Snowflake. |
