Vinegar in towels, eh? Um, I mean, RIGHT! Vinegar in towels!

Yeah, it's a good idea never to mix bleach with anything... unless you want the hazmat team at your front door.

True Laundry Story #1:
I bought this sweet little black shirt at Guess. I bought it a size smaller than I normally would, so it would fit just a particular way. It was made of hemp, and was really soft and had cute little wooden buttons. It was expensive. I didn't bother reading the care label...I mean, I NEVER read them anyway, so why would this case be any different? Anyhow, I washed it the first time with my other dark colors, and tossed it in the dryer.

Oops.

I'm six-foot-one, and when this shirt came out of the dryer, I could not even button it....except near my navel.....which is about where the shirt extended to on my torso.

Needless to say, my friend Alan, who is only about five-foot-three, got a brand new shirt the next day. It fit him really well, and he looked terribly cute in it.

True Laundry Story #2:
One of my exes.....he was a Pisces, and he had this really cool black, Pisces T-shirt that he had bought at some new-age store. To him, this shirt was like spun gold.

One day...I can be such a ditz....I put it in the washer with some other white shirts, and....PRESTO! It came out tye-dyed, in a splotchy bleached sort of way. Totally ruined. Oooooops.

So....he wasn't home....and so I threw it away....and then just pretended like I knew nothing about it. What Pisces shirt?

To this day, I've never fessed up to this. I don't think I will.

um...if you're a Karma Contestant, I think you may have lost points in that last round.

I made up for it in other, more honest ways.

ALMOST a laudry story, but it was with ironing.

I tried to iron my graduation gown. I burnt a hole in it because it was plastic material.

So I had to buy that one ( I was so poor I had to wait until summer and didn't get my diploma until I paid!) get another one that was really short ( I was the tallest in my class and luckily ( for me) a girl was kicked out so I got her gown..she was 5'3) and it just sucked. I got into alot of trouble for that.

probably the dumbest laundry related thing i have done was when i was a teenager. my parents had bought me a pager as a sort of leash and i accidently left it in my jeans pocket when i did some laundry. when it came out of the washing machine it was thoroughly soaked and ruined... my parents were kind of strict and mean when it came to doing dumb **** like that so i just dried it as much as possible and told them that i didn't know what had happened but it didn't work anymore. so my dad took it to the cell phone/pager place where he got it and the guy opened it up to try and figure out what was wrong with it. well... a bunch of water came out (it was one of those bigger ones with the big screen to receive text messages) and my dad called me and said "so i took your pager to the store and they opened it up and a bunch of water came out. anything you want to tell me?" and i was like "uhhh oh yeah i accidently washed it with my jeans." i was afraid i was going to be in a whole bunch of trouble for being a retard but he just laughed and went "ooohhhhh ok now the truth comes out"

other than that and several stupid instances of putting sweaters in the dryer i have been pretty lucky with laundry. (knocks on wood)

Well, you turn your iron on and burn things. I have a bad habit of plugging it in but not turning it on and then coming back a few moments later after it's sufficently heated (only not) and then ironing without it turned on, wondering why my shirt/dress slacks are still wrinkled
