Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Most times when I wash+dry a fitted sheet with other items, the sheet swallows everything else and I get a very dry sheet with a wad of wet clothes in the middle.

Leave it in the dryer like that for a week or two.

This is one of those experiences where it happens to you and you never ever hear anyone else talk about it, so you think it just happens to you for some strange reason

That being said, I do think there's a goblin that goes into the dryer and twists up the sheets just to be evil

It's the same goblin that eats my socks and turns all of my underwear inside out.

For a second I thought this was a cup full of wet coffee grounds.

The washer moves water up from the center and down the outside. That's how it agitates the clothes to clean them.

You're supposed to load items into the washer in a circle around the outside. Most things don't matter, but something like a blanket can get stuck like this and won't be cleaned as well.

You're supposed to lay it in like a long snake in a circle around the outside, but I have done that and sometimes it still ends up like this :-(

This doesn't apply to a front loader, does it?

When even the washer wants to look pretty! 😆
