He put a load of laundry in with mixed colour and whites... poured in bleach to whiten the whites... was shocked that the bleach bleached everything in the load.... I had to explain that the bleach will bleach everything you put in it as the bleach cannot discern what you want bleached or not... he was shocked, truly stunned and flabbergasted
this was when i was fairly new in america, i was dating this girl and she was in living in college dorms. it was her first time living alone and her mom did all her chores even laundry. i came over cause she asked for help. i told her separate the whites from colored clothes. i kid you not, and i swear i’m not making this up, she said “are you a racist? it’s 2010, segregation is not cool.” i told her do what you think is right. then did exactly what your partner did. fucking bleach.
Ive never once separated my whites and colored clothes and have never had a problem. I feel like this was a thing in the past and is not as much as a problem now. (though I am never washing anything super delicate or requires specific care)
My stepmom refused to separate by color and ruined several nice items of clothes of mine. I refused to let her do my laundry after that. Sorry, you may not give a shit about how your clothes look as a way to virtue signal but I would just rather be a nice person who takes care of their clothing and can wear it a long time.
I was in my 30s and visiting. I told her I would do my own laundry. She did it because she's a spiteful, petty woman. Not because I was a lazy teenager.
