Perhaps the comforter required two drying cycles. If it's as over-sized as he claims then it probably has a lot of stuffing in it. If a comforter is woven tight to help keep you warm at night, then it doesn't exactly let moisture evaporate through it rapidly, especially once it's entirely soaked. So... as I said, maybe it takes two drying cycles. Hell, maybe more to know for certain that it's entirely dry and the stuffing inside isn't still damp and won't build mildew or something.

If this is true, then by the time she put the dress in the dryer at home, left for the laundromat to dry the comforter, started it, ran two cycles and came back home, then depending on the material of the dress it would likely be wrinkled by the time she got back. A single dress by itself wouldn't require but 20-30 minutes drying time (again, depending on the material) whereas the typical dryer time at a laundromat is 40-60 minutes.


Regardless, who really gives a crap if he's making things up as he goes along or if he just likes things to be complicated? If the only thing better to do in life is to type on the internet about how you think someone ON THE INTERNET is making things up then you REALLY need to find something better and more fulfilling to do because you are a LOSER.

Post...laced...with..too...much...irony.

I'm not the one going on for half a dozen posts trying to prove that he is or isn't lying. This is the internet. The joke is on you if you care that much.

Seems you care the most since you wrote a short essay about it. You aren't his wife by any chance are you?

But again, I'm not the one hell bent on trying to prove him right or wrong, just pointing out what to me was an obvious answer to the question that other people rushed to make.

I really can't believe that someone is trying so hard to be an e-badass on the internet that they are bringing into question people's laundry habits, and that's the problem here.

You ever want to throw somebody off their high horse? I think that's probably what's happening here.

Sorry, if I knew that was your mother I probably would have offered her $20 if she made it worthwhile.

I'd work on putting together a coherent sentence though...I am thinking you meant I have never made a useful thread..share some of yours though.

Did you really retort to me with a "mother joke"?
WTF is this 4th grade?
Grow up.

Should have pulled the scam on her, and told her that the machine she is using stole your quarter.

It's actually more of a case of the OP and his continual rants about poor people then rationalizing why he doesn't have a Front-Loading Washer that can handle his huge comforter that he needs living in FL.

He has no problem posting in every thread and making stupid comments. People are tired of it.

I had one thread about poor people which like many you missed the point. So now all I do is post about poor people? Are you on something?

Also that thread had nothing to do with putting the poor person down. It was about why some find a need to explain that even if they won the lottery and were multi-billionaires they wouldn't sell their beater car or change their small home. Normally anyone would know that's not going to happen and those types of people are usually the first to blow a big wad on a car....but here all my fans were busy attacking me. Quite a few did get my point.

I have no problem with someone that has a beater car...I have no problems riding in it with them. I just feel uncomfortable...as do my friends...getting a monologue that is all about how their car is really so great and on and on. It makes us uncomfortable because it implies we somehow are looking down on them about it.

The comforter is for looks really most nights...I don't need it here in FL. Technically though, most of us have central heat and air (except maybe those attacking me) and could do with out comforters or blankets. Sometimes though it's comfortable to crank the air down and just cover up. Maybe you don't have this kind of stuff where you live. Front loaders in the home are newly popular. They are way better on cleaning and water use and I plan on upgrading...however, I have a set of really good machines already and my comforter still won't fit in a 4 cu ft machine. Again...for me to do the new machines I am going to gas. For gas I need my house plumbed and the main line ran from the utility main. I need to finish my interior work here so I know where to have the lines ran too and have all the paintwork done. Sorry I don't meet your timeframe on this, I have only been moved in less than 4 months.

If you weren't posting in the same threads then how would you know I was? Are we not supposed to post or are you just pissed you don't have the same time to do so? I am hardly the post count leader here though, you are pretty much right behind me.

She didn't actually have clothes to wash or dry with her.

I bet you felt silly when you learned it was just a joke about how to scam people out of their time.

Can't wait for the bullshit excuse on this one.

ROFL yeah seriously, wtf is your wife doing at a laundromat? How can you possibly be satisfied without your own enormous washer and dryer at home?

June was months ago man, if no price is no object then you should have been set by September easily.

Please go back and read.

we have machines.

machine is too small for the comforter.

if we had the 4 cu ft Duet, it would still be too small for the comforter anyway.

We are going for gas appliances when we change them. Town couldn't have gotten the gas installed by Sept. even if I started it day 1 here. Then I still need the interior plumber to run the gas inside the house and to the appliance locations. Which since we are remodeling too we are not sure on.

Are you with me now?

Attacking the poster and not reading the post shows a ton of ignorance on your part.

I not sure if the exact order of drying has been established. Not only that, there still needs to be some clarification on the reason for using an outside facility.

So my wife should have given this lady a quarter because she demanded it?

Please give it up, you are looking like an idiot by obviously not listening nor reading and just jumping on a bandwagon to belittle me.

You know you can spout off all you want it really doesn't bother me, if anything it's entertaining to me and everyone else.

I'm not commenting at all on what your wife should or should not have done. Honestly I couldn't care less about what she does. I'm commenting on your elitist attitude in this thread and past threads as have other posters here... and in past threads.

Unfortunately that elitest attitude was created by those same posters. I said nothing of the sort.

Past threads would be one other one.
