fitted sheet: over here too boys, lots of room

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

God forbid you also put a flat sheet in. You're better off just throwing the whole tangled mess in the trash, washing machine included.

Shirts: let's all hold hands!

Literally think of this meme any time I'm washing a duvet cover or fitted sheet

[–] Micromot@lemmycook.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just always close them after taking them off the bed

What... do you mean? Like fold them up so nothing can get in? That works??

[–] Micromot@lemmycook.de 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They have a zipper or buttons

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some of my duvet covers just have an opening and nothing to close it.

[–] Micromot@lemmycook.de 1 points 1 year ago

I don't have those

Oh what about fitted sheets

[–] Micromot@lemmycook.de 2 points 1 year ago

idk they kind of still do that by themselves, maybe wash them all at once if you have enough for a load

And then you find stragglers in there a week later

Can someone who is smarter than me Design something that doesn’t cause this? Haha

[–] petter@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 year ago

I have a duvet cover with a zipper! I just zip it up before washing it!

[–] ekky43@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Washing bags exist, usually used for fragile/dangerous (zippers) clothing pieces, but you could surely get them in sheet size too.

I don't think so. You're the smartest person I know 😌

A paper on this phenomenon would certainly get the Ig Nobel prize!

Bahaha the big sock is what I shall call the duvet cover from now on!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The big sock is waiting for you kind stranger.

Thank you for reminding me to switch my laundry!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the dryer sheet.

Why was my first thought upon reading "Duvet Cover" that someone had made another version of "Serial Experiment Lain"'s opening (-_-)

I don't even watch that much anime any more, yet the weebness won't evacuate my mind...

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ahahahahahah
