Hump day. The most useless day of the week. Until now!
Come play.
Im looking for some new peeps and I know you are too, so quit yer whinin' and get with it for hell sakes!
Grab my "butt"on over there on my sidebar and out it in yer post. Then tell us what you meant to say or what you should have said or whatever the hell you want. Come back, link up and visit everyone for some gut busting laughs!
Let's get this party started...
Duke and his oblivious boys,
When I told you all I wanted for my birthday was a week with no laundry and you said:
"Sure! You gotcher self a deal.. I will get right on it"
This is not what I meant by the words "Do The Laundry" (can't believe I have to clarify)
I guess I'm gonna have to make myself a bit more clear.
AHem..
1. Pick up ALL the clothes from around the house. (even the kids rooms dumbass). Everyone needs their underwear cleaned, not just yours.
2. You are not doing yourself any favors by shoving the washing machine so full that it only takes 1 cup of effing water to fill up the tub. This does not clean the clothes. The soap has no room to swish therefore the dirt stays on the clothes. It also means the clothes will be wrinkled and you will have to iron (gasp). The dryer is not larger than the washer so it takes twice as long to get them dry when its jammed full like a constipated pit bull.
3. "Doing the laundry" means taking it through until the end. The kitchen table is not the storage for our clothes (see above pic). I don't want to have to dig through your boxers for my bras each morning. Specially if they aren't getting clean (see #2).
4. The socks need to be "balled". I know it has been 14 months since they were matched but as all of us know, it is your turn. Don't worry, I have taken care of my own over the past year... yours have been waiting. It's time.
5. Next birthday, just buy me something. The housework trade is the shits.
It's not always necessary to reach out and touch the ones you love when the middle finger will do... -Chief
52 crazy comments. I'm still waiting for yours!:
I'm sorry that this didn't work out as well as it sounded. How about a maid for the day? And he pays?
speaking as a guy, sometimes it helps to draw us a picture...lol
yah hire a maid and make him pay.
lol. That looks like my version of laundry! although not the whole stuffing it super full thing.
Sometimes you gotta write it out for them, lol!
But it's Tuesday.... I'm confused.
I'm totally with ya. Maybe he could hire someone to do the laundry? Or perhaps a gift card to a spa could suffice.
Better luck next time!
Sighs MEN can't live with them and can't kill themunless ya have a friend with lots of land where no one can find the body... hey like ME hint hint hint.. less laundry that way

Well that is the shits. You need a re-do for sure.

Chief,
go buy yourself somethin and then tell him this was your real present since he botched up the laundry one. Haaha
Ok I'm getting in on this next week since my internet will be back!
I'm sure linzys clothes looks like that pic but in his room. Last summer I told him it was time to learn how to use the washer and dryer. He's been doing his own clothes since then and that's probably when I turnd into THE stepmother. Bwahahahaha
LMAO!!!
That's why I never let my husband do any housework. He only does it half-assed. I think he doesn't on purpose so I won't ask him anymore. But that's ok, I only pretend I can't cook, so i don't have to do it often.
next birthday have it dropped at the cleaners to have it "laundered" mr. chief.
ok. I will be up at midnight. but i am a checkbook entering/quicken fool right now. so may not make it back to tell ya. won't be around much to read - again... check book people. we had a big old late fee last year - doh!
LOL! My husband does help, especially when I am gone due to school or something else and then he tells me that it's really not that hard and why I complain at times. Laughing now, but when that came out - was NOT happy. Needless to say, no num-num for DH that night. ;-)
Hilarious!! I have forbidden my husband to even touch my washer and dryer. And when I do ask him to put away the clothes - he only puts away his own!
I'm with the girls.. he owes you a maid... and not a hot one either!
I don't get any help with the laundry either. Which is why my house looks the way that it does. You should see my Wordless/Wordful Wednesday post, it would put your kitchen table laundry situation to shame.
diagrams....treasure maps...men are visual....visual.....
Visuals don't even work, if they don't want to do it, they will find a way to screw it up so that you don't want them doing it again.
Corrie has a great idea-maid for the day and he pays!! I'm all for that one! The last time the spouse did the laundry I had to re-fold every last item of clothing....it's was horrendous!!
Ha!
I grew up with a sock basket. Hated it. It multiplied over night until it filled an entire laundry basket! Now if there's no match I throw them away. Problem is I gotta do every stitch of laundry to make sure I got them all. Still wondering where they all go?!
lmao... my laundry room looks like that.
* ce la vi

supah
Leave it to a man to screw it up! "Jammed full like a constipated pit bull" is my favorite thing I've heard all week!
That sounds about right! Why are men so clueless?
Happy belated birfday, Chief ... I have been pretty absent this past week. Stupid work!
LOL I love the picture of everything all jumbled together.
I'm cracking up at the guys' comments about drawing pictures and diagrams. LMAO!
Jdaddy is actually pretty good when it comes to doing laundry...I lucked out there. Only thing is, he doesn't do it enough.
I think my Hubs would have taken my request for a laundry-free week to mean that he just wouldn't bug me about doing any for the week, but it would all be there waiting for me at the end of the week.
Tell him the next time he agree's to do the laundry that if its not done CORRECTLY you are going to force him to wear a skimpy maid's costume around the house - thong & all - just for your amusement. Maybe that will be the kick to git his ass in gear!
Haha - great Post this week *I'm going to be doing mine in the next 2 hours or so - waiting till I get to work!*
Sorry, changed mine...first, I should a laundry one for The Boy...God knows he is also a laundry expert LOL! Love it as usual! And sorry for the second link on Mr. Linky. I put up the wrong link the first time!
Well that wasn't very nice of Duke!! If you say you're going to do laundry - especially if it is just once - then at least get it right once. Though, he might have planned it that way...if he did a piss poor job - which he did - then you won't ask him to do it anymore. He ends up winning that battle...men!

Ready for me to one up you? LMAO
When my dad had unexpected open heart surgery, the prince flew home from a month long assignment in Baltimore. He took care of the boys all week with no time for me to write down instructions or give him the schedule. He only missed one tiny little thing that week. I came home on late Thursday evening (my laundry day) and was dreading having to get started on that task. I knew it would take all night and I had to be at the hospital that next morning. I went straight to the closet and found empty laundry baskets. The prince had washed, folded, and put away EVERY STITCH OF LAUNDRY!!! I burst out into tears. That is just one of the many reasons I love him so.
Poor duke. Isn't it the thought that counts?
put this in the WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING file
Today I learned a lesson...about what to never to do my wife, lol.

Muah ha ha! You effing rock! This is hilarious! Come on Chiefy-pooh. You should know better . . . If you're gonna let him do housework . . . You know you're just gonna have to re-do it yourself the RIGHT way! :)
I was gonna say something about how I'd be happy if Dumb Dad helped at all. But then I remembered that he's actually banned from helping, particularly in the laundry department because of the piss poor job he does on pretty much everything. Maybe it's a ploy to make me not let him help. But, doubt it, 'cause I'm pretty sure he's even dumber than me!
Thank god my hubby does laundry!
Presents talk, bullshit (or rather men attempting housework) walks!
I love Steven Anthony's comment above! Bwaa haa haa.
Meanwhile, my husband loves to tell everyone that he "does the laundry"... no, what he does is carry it downstairs, washes, dries, and carries it upstairs. To me, this is not done. It then needs to be folded and put away.
Alas, he is a hero in so many other ways, though, so I will just zip the lip :-)
Okay, I got mine up! Wish mine were funny, not "you're a horrible person", but hey, its what I've got going for me.
I don't let Nick touch the Laundry. It all goes in together right? Umm, not exactly. Stick to the dishes babe. Hope next year works out better for you.
haha!! men take everything literally.. you have to SPELL everything out for them!!
We also have a pile of socks. It's not too big since I just did it a little over a week ago but...the last time Hubster said he'd do it it took him over a week and then none of the "pairs" were actually pairs. That drives me even more crazy.
It's my first time here and playing along but it was sooo much fun I'm coming back!
HI-LARIOUS!
Hope you otherwise had a happy birthday besides that whole laundry debacle;)
Hey, thanks Chief, I've finally took a whack at this Wednesday post thing and I gotta say it's such a liberating feeling to say what I meant to say....LOL.
As for your post, I've been battling the same thing in my house. I can barely see the floor of my boys' room...they somehow think that the floor is the best way to store clean and dirty laundry.
Splenda got himself out of laundry the first year we were married. He purposely did it wrong, ruined my clothes and he is now NOT ALLOWED. EVER! But I do enjoy the power I wield when I remind him that I wash his underwear. I can get anything else done I want.
Hey, this post is still unread in my reader. Even though I commented a while back. WHY??
Oh for pity's sake! A chore exchange for a birthday gift! This will never do. Simply because it will never get done!
Oh my god, and here I am trying to get Albert to STOP doing the laundary!
How stupid are you to even think he could or would do it right?
You were too trusting.
