Laundry complete, I have achieved epic failure

Every single shirt and every single sock was inverted out of the dryer. As I fold my way through 2 weeks worth of laundry, I fell into despair as I gradually lost hope of finding at least one sock or one shirt that wasn't inverted, but nooo...I was 0/30.

All I had to do was each night when I come home stripe off my clothing without inverting them or invert them back to normal after I take them off. A wee bit of extra work would have greatly truncated the back breaking ordeal of folding clothing at the end of laundry. But like the human trash I am, each night as I stripe I toss aside my worries and leave it for my future self to deal with....

Nothing wrong with wearing your clothes inside out.. it's like the new hip thing to do.
 
My clothing simply never gets inverted as I remove it. Socks, underwear, shirts...

To remove them in a way that leaves them inside-out would stretch / tear them.
 
I ran into this once, turns out it was something my wife did when she loaded the washer. She said that it helps keep the iron on logos on t-shirts from getting rubbed off in the washer or something like that.
 
I'm pretty sure this belongs in "first world problems." On another note, your socks look different on one side or the other? What deviltry is this? All of my socks look the same whichever side is out.

Strip... the word is strip. A stripe is a band of colour/texture differing from the surrface either side of it.

No, you're supposed to hang clothes inside out but, since no one hangs clothes anymore, it doesn't matter. I still want to know who has socks that look different whether they're inside out or not.

I just brought my laundry in a couple hours ago. The sun's cheaper to operate than the dryer, and the clothes smell better.

I don't remember ever having symmetrical socks, but my memory's only reliable for ~30 years, so I may have had some at one point.
 
I try to be careful when I take my clothes off to ensure they are not inside-out. Unless I'm super tired I am pretty good about it.

It's not new or hip, for guys it's been mandatory since clothes were invented. First you wear it one way, then you flip it over and wear it inside out. Half as much laundry to do. And if you're really lazy you flip it back over again and repeat the cycle. Only wash clothing when neither side is wearable and the aroma will get you kicked out of a cab in Paris.

Could you please explain this to my wife? She won't listen to me, but maybe you'll have better luck.

I wash my stuff inside out on purpose.


I don't remember the logic but it made sense when I started doing it.

If you are washing something with screen printing, like a tee shirt for example, it helps protect the screen printing from getting damaged or peeling off.
 
I just shove them in the washing machine and deal with the consequences later. I can't believe you guys take the time to turn them all inside out before washing.
 
I have no idea one way or the other. My dirty clothes go into the hamper and they magically appear in my closet washed and hung right side out. It is a true miracle.

My wife does it as part of her womanly chores. Cooking, cleaning, washing etc... She also thinks that our grass gets cut via a miracle... Don't tell her it is me.
