In fact, it's only thanks to this thread that I know some reactionary pearl-clutchers abuse the term to describe a person who cranked it to a titty online once.

I had a friend who had a mom like that. A lovely mom who just never got out of that very teen infatuation level of relationships, right through into her 50's. Was never a great parent because she put her dating life ahead of her kids all the time, ditching them to go on dates, blaming them for "ruining things" with some dudes for simply existing, and of course demanding tons of attention and support for the bi-monthly dramatic breakups but never giving her own kids support. I think she only had 4 weddings but each one was a full on big production fairytale princess sort of affair. She'd refuse to date any man that wouldn't treat her "like a princess" which to her meant paying for a huge embarrassing wedding. I think people like that just have some very deep unfulfilled emotional needs mixed with zero introspection to understand what those needs actually re. They developed a fantasy for how weddings and relationships work when they were like 15 and have never developed beyond that level.

Evil Willow posted:AITA For telling a coworker to stop bringing cakes to the office? I used to work in a place where the operations manager would immediately grab any and all bagels that entered the office, regardless of who bought them, and cut every single one into bite-sized chunks so "none of you get carried away" Also, have some of you just never done laundry? If you take soaking wet clothing out of the washing machine and dump it in a basket without wringing it out or anything, it's going to start to smell, and mildew and mold can grow real fast in that sort of environment. At the very least she'd have to rewash the stuff after a few hours.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what the plan was in that case other than "leave wet clothing sitting there all day while I'm at work, but in the machine rather than a basket".

^^^^ Do you think the younger sister wouldn’t go ballistic if something got thrown in the dryer at the wrong temp or something that was supposed to hang or lay flat to dry got out in there? My wife is basically the only person I care enough about to gently caress with reading the labels on her clothes. Manufacturing clothing with “lay flat to dry on the label should be punishable by death. Pope Corky the IX posted:I used to work in a place where the operations manager would immediately grab any and all bagels that entered the office, regardless of who bought them, and cut every single one into bite-sized chunks so "none of you get carried away" If the spin cycle is working it shouldn’t be completely sopping wet. Why should she expect someone else is doing her laundry? And how would any of this be different if the laundry had been left in the washer? therobit fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jun 15, 2022 |

moving it to a basket vs the dryer is the same amount of work. one makes you a nice sister/roommate and the other makes you a lazy rear end in a top hat. ill let you guys figure out which is which

She probably expected that someone else would notice and put the clothes in the dryer seeing as she had to run out unexpectedly, especially if they needed the washing machine. Which isn't even that uncommon amongst roommates, much less family.

Who waits until after the wash to separate out dryer-safe items? Unless it's coin-operated sort in advance.

I seen fist fights on work camps were some animal would not put poo poo in the drier and press the "on" button just because the person was not standing there the very moment the wash cycle stopped. Also, if the person was not standing there, the same sort of person would just stop the wash and put the half washed washing in the basket and put their own laundry in the machine. Also fist fights.

I would never toss someone else's laundry in the dryer unless they asked me to beforehand. Soggy clothes can be rewashed, shrunk or damaged clothes cannot be fixed. You don't know what their plans are, maybe they were intending to hang dry some or all of their stuff. I mean I also don't live with someone who just leaves laundry in the washer all day, and just don't touch other people's laundry at all, and even back when I lived in shared student housing people managed to leave at least one machine free if you booked it. That seems like the easier option.

What if there was something not dryer safe in the wash? Going "ballistic" over laundry being transferred to a basket vs sitting in the washer, what's the big deal? And does mom buy the older daughter treats? None of the other relatives will take the older daughter in either, which speaks for itself. Also big difference between leaving something in the wash & asking (or even moving to the dryer) versus dumping wet clothes in a basket then telling someone to just "get over it". Honestly wish beehive hairstyles would come back so simple poo poo like this wouldn't fly over idiots' heads constantly.

Sometimes a child being favored is justified. Like if the other child is bad vibes or just unpleasant to be around.

Am I being creepy?quote:I (38m) have struggled with social anxiety my whole life. I am extremely introverted and have never been able to maintain relationships for very long. My last girlfriend and I dated for 3 months, 5 years ago. When we broke up she said she felt like she was “dating a ghost” and that comment did a lot of damage. I work in tech and don’t really socialize with my coworkers. I go in, do my work, and go home on the days I’m required to work from the office rather than home. I have a few online friends, spend time with my sister and brother-in-law on occasion, but mostly I’m on my own. I don’t feel lonely. Yikes

Woozie66 posted:Why are you inventing new complaints that eneve even came up in the story? Why are goons inventing some idea that laundry will grow mold in 8 hours if it is in a basket but not in the washer? I don’t touch other people’s laundry because I don’t want to keep track of any special care it may require. My wife and children are the only exceptions to this. I also don’t expect others to do my laundry, including my wife or kids. If I wash a load of dark delicates it may or may not have something in there that shouldn’t go in the dryer, and I’d rather it be left alone or put in a basket than ruined.
