Very Clean Laundry

Ok, I was asked (bugged to death actually) to tell another story. Here’s one that was an honest mistake on my part that kinda turned out funny…..days later. I was in my first year of college and had just finished playing an intramural flag football game in the rain and mud. Our championship freshman team beat the champion sophomore squad a week before, but we lost to the champion seniors in a very close game. So, I was a bit down but decided to wash my muddy clothes once I got back to the dorm. So I went to my room, showered and changed, and then headed back downstairs to the laundry room to wash my muddy clothes. I wasn’t thinking too clearly (bad way to start a sentence huh). I looked at my clothes and thought; these things may never come completely clean. At least not using the regular amount of detergent. So I chose to use twice the amount. Then I thought about it and used three times the amount….they were really dirty. I started the machine and then left. I return a half hour later to find a laundry floor covered in bubbles and eight girls sitting on tables watching everyone who walks in. I also notice one washer spewing suds. Yep, it was MY washer. Quickly thinking (the same thinking that saved me from the squirrel), I walk over and say hi to the girls, a few that I knew, and asked what they were all doing. One looked at me and said, “We’re waiting to see who the idiot is that flooded the room with soap bubbles”. I smiled (trying not to give an I’m that idiot smile) and said, “Wow…looks like its someone’s first time doing the laundry” and then laughed with them. Now I had to listen to the smart arse remarks. Remarks like “how do they let idiots like this into college” and “You mean they cant read detergent lables” and other they can’t walk and chew gum jokes. But I noticed they said "they" and not "he". So I was still safe. So, I did what any self respecting, honorable man would do in a situation like this. I sat and waited with them. An hour passes, the bubbles stop flowing from my washer and we’re still waiting for that idiot. Another half hour goes by and it’s down to me and three of the girls. I’m just thinking, keep them out of the machine and last longer than they do. It started to remind me of those contests where the person who keeps his/her hands on the car the longest wins. In this case it was about dignity and I wasn’t gonna let mine go down the tubes because of very very very clean clothes. It’s now down to me and one girl (this is after two hours of waiting). I finally tell her to just go and get some rest and I’ll let her know who the buffoon was later. She agrees and leaves. But I’m not falling for it. That’s right, I sit and wait another half hour all by myself (see, I’m no fool). So I get up and slide to the door, peek into the hallway and upon seeing no one, I slip and slide back to my washer and remove my clothes. I rush back to my room and put my soapy wet clothes in my laundry basket and wait until the next day to rewash and dry them. I didn’t add any detergent the next day, yet it foamed up really nicely. Oh and when asked about who it was, I told them I couldn’t wait any longer and left before they got there. Dignity saved!!
