When it comes time to laundry, we all know the biggest red flag is running out of underwear (one of my friends argues it’s when he runs out of socks but lord knows how often he goes commando). Of course, for the supremely lazy, there are always ways around that caveat ranging from mildly inconvenient to just plain gross.
1. Wearing bikini bottoms as underwear: Mildly inconvenient
2. Wearing one piece swimsuits as underwear: Pretty inconvenient
3. Stealing your roommates clothes: Inconvenient for your roommate
4. When you start using your pile of dirty clothes as a bean bag: Arguably convenient, depending on how badly your clothes smell
5. Febreezing old clothes: Mildly inconvenient
6. Going commando: Inconvenient and uncomfortable when you have to bike everywhere on the Farm
7. When your room starts smelling a little moldy from the grubby clothes: Just plain gross
8. Going back to those old bikini bottoms and turning them inside out: Pretty freaking gross
9. Hand-washing used underwear in the sink and drying it with a blow dryer(One of my friends recently told me she does this sometimes): Vomit-worthy
10. Pulling a Liz Lemon – if you watch “30 Rock,” I’m referring to episode where she does this: If there’s a rock bottom when it comes to laundry, I’m pretty sure this is it.
Of course there are lots of better alternatives to any of these 10 situations. Cardinal Clean is a popular service that will take care of all your laundry and dry cleaning needs. You could also always, god forbid, just do your own laundry. Most freshman dorms provide detergent the first quarter. Who knows, you could be that cute girl in the laundry room and end with something like this.
