Laundry Failure

Here’s the back­story: I still live at home, and thus, I’ve never really done laun­dry before. My mom taught me how, and so I fig­ured I would be good.

Too bad the Czech wash­ing machines are con­fus­ing as fuck. So, Hora and I went down­stairs to do the laun­dry today, we fig­ured we were all set to go, we had the room booked, we bought deter­gent, and soft­ener, noth­ing could stand in the way of us clean­ing a weeks worth of clothes. But when we got there, we had no idea what the hell we were doing. We ended up putting our clothes into 3 dif­fer­ent machines, and let it wash for a while. When we came back, two of them were done, but there was one that was still spin­ning. We fig­ured, lets stop it, it should be almost done like the other ones are done! Bad idea. Opened the machine, and all the clothes were still soapy, and the water was steam­ing hot. We were pretty con­fused, so we decided to just throw those clothes into the machine we knew how to work. In the process, we man­aged to semi-burn our­selves, and com­pletely soak the ground below us. We then threw out fin­ished clothes from the other two machines into the other wash­ing machine into two of the dry­ers, and came back later. When we got back, those clothes were finally washed, and the dry­ing was almost done, but they were slightly still damp, but every time we tryed turn­ing it back on for more dry­ing, the machine shut off after a minute, it was like the machine was try­ing to say “Fuck you, its dry enough”. Luckly the other one was dry, and we just took every­thing out, took all the clothes from the wash­ing machine and put them into the dryer, and now, we are wait­ing. It will be done at about 6:30, we started at about 2:30, so it took us a grand total of 4 hours to do this. I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t have taken that long, but what the hell do I know, I’m a big clothes clean­ing n00b.

Also, on an unre­lated note, all the exchange stu­dents have finally arrived. Most of them are pretty cool, yes­ter­day we went out drink­ing and ended up at a club, and the club was pretty wicked. The only shitty part of the night is that I lost my coat check pass, and so, now I’m miss­ing my warmest jacket, and I have to phone the club tomor­row to see if I can find it… Oh well, I’ll get it eventually.

I’ll post some pic­tures later, for now, I’m too lazy. Here are some albums I’ve put up since I last posted:

    For­got to warn you about that.

    Their shit _EATS_ clothes. Buy a dry­ing rack and skip out on the dry­ers unless you like giant brown spots on your stuff.

  • Josh Says:

    Yeah, also put every­thing into one machine and on cold water then you are good to go. Dry­ing via air also makes your clothes last longer than if you dried them in the machine.

    haha damn. I learned how to wash my clothes @ work while work­ing at the pool.

    lmao first time i was infront of a wash­ing machine I was like “wtf am I donig?!?!”
