Classic battle of the sexes: You try to live out your dreams by slyly trying to turn her into a stripper. She is disappointed because she thought she was getting her dream of a housekeeper. This never turns out well. ---

I told him I’d do a load of towels on Saturday. And I DID. Trouble is, I forgot that I washed them. When I went to find a towel today, I found a whole mess of them, in the washer, wet, stinky, and just eww. How many times will I have to wash them before they stop smelling like mildew? Hee…I remember my Uni days, one friend washed the same load of clothes three times because he never got round to hanging them out and they ended up stinky each time… ---

> [@congodwarf](#): > > Awesome. Thanks. As soon as I figure out where the vinegar is, I’ll do that. You totally have vinegar. It’s in your pantry, third shelf from the bottom, hiding behind the seven bottles of ketchup you bought because they were on sale and you had coupons. 😛 ---

It was probably **Hal**. He seems to like getting in trouble and moving a short chick’s vinegar to the top shelf is a good way to get in trouble. ---

> [@bengangmo](#): > > Hee…I remember my Uni days, one friend washed the same load of clothes three times because he never got round to hanging them out and they ended up stinky each time… Heehee. I had a bunch of roommates sophomore year of college with an in-unit washer/dryer, and I had the following conversation with the guy roomie as he was watching me do my laundry (his room was right next to the closet with the washer/dryer): Him: Why are you pouring the detergent on the clothes? Me: 😕 So they’ll get washed. Him: Why don’t you put it in the dispenser thing? Me: What dispenser? Him: You know, this. _points to hollow spot in middle of washer_ Me: Uh, that’s not a detergent dispenser. That’s just a random hole in the middle of the agitator. Him: Really? Me: Wait, have you been putting your detergent in there the whole time? It’s not going into the water, you idiot. Him: Oh. I wondered why the powder kept getting closer to the top. He’d been essentially just rinsing his clothes for 2 months. Ick. 😛 ---

> [@LouisB](#): > > I want to see that video but I’m suspicious re signing up. Are there any reasons not to sign up? Yes, I am paranoid, why do you ask? Sorry, I’m not seeing a problem with that link, but apparently other people are. If you search on “strip tease gone wrong,” it should get you the right one (it’s 50 seconds long). It’s also probably not safe for work (I watched it the first time over someone’s shoulder at work, so I forgot about that 😃 ).
