C.

What is an iron?

Things that don't go in the dyer are hung up wet immediately. The rest go into the dryer.

I have a Darwinian thing going on in my laundry. Anything that doesn't survive the washing machine and/or dryer dance doesn't survive full stop. I do use one of those 'delicates' mesh bags for stockings, fancy bras/knickers and things like that.

I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!

at present, I don't have a working dryer, so everything is line dried outside, which I must say, is nice. They USUALLY get folded right away.

A.5

Leave them in the dryer until bed time so that the buzzer goes off for two hours or longer and then finally put them away before bed.

Do you have one of those reminder buzzers?

I had a dryer once that had "wrinkle guard" and it would re-run itself if you didn't take it out soon enough.

My electric bill didn't like me then!!!

I have the wrinkle thing. It runs for about 60 seconds then stops. And it buzzes every time.

....electric is included in my rent. Maybe I should stop using that thing so much.

C usually for three days then B for an additional week until I've worn half the items and then hang up the rest. However if those are reds then the darks are in the C stage and the whites are sitting molding in the washer. I kinda do the whole thing in stages.

Iron? If you put on wrinkled clothing within 30 minutes they unwrinkle. Duh. I can't believe I spent so much time in the 80s ironing everything (including my jeans)

A. It's not always immediately after drying, but clothes never sit for more than a few hours. Towels/sheets on the other hand, may be waiting in the dryer for awhile.

If the clothes aren't put away right away, they are laid flat on my bed to minimize wrinkles.

Failure is success if we learn from it.
