I dread laundry. Its one of signs you are still alive and soiling clothes. Some males never do laundry their entire lives. Their mothers do it until they marry. Then their wives and daughters.

As a single male with extremely few material possessions, I'm one of those people that does my own laundry but never folds their clothes. I used to watch my mom fold our clothes when we were little and seemed like a waste of time. Seeing as I wear extremely casual clothes, this isn't a problem for me. If I wore more formal clothes, I would fold/hang those. I just leave my clothes in my basket and pick out what I need…

Aren’t your clothes wrinkled?

When I was 9 or 10 my mother announced she wasn't doing my laundry any more. So I've been doing my own laundry for 45 years now. Frankly the only thing that is slightly annoying in a boring sort of way is turning the shirts right side out. It feels like the utopia our tech lords have is mind for us is one where we sit on the couch stuffing our faces 24/7 never having to leave the pod.

Why bother turning the shirts right side out? You can do it directly before you put them on, and one at a time spread out over weeks always felt less tedious to me.

I don't fold my clothes, and haven't in 20 years. Which is to say, my clothes do not get folded by anyone. No one folde them for me, nor do I fold them myself. You don't have to fold most clothing. You can just toss it all in a basket and let it be. Most cotton wrinkles will disappear after being worn for about 20 minutes. Movement, body heat and ambient humidity removes wrinkles automatically from a lot of clothing.…

Wearing ironed clothes makes me feel much better compared to wearing wrinkled clothes. Sometimes the difference could be as huge as between a good day and bad day. So maybe luxury but not useless.
