Today, I did my small part to help the environment by hanging my clothes outside to dry rather than using the dryer. The birds showed their appreciation by crapping on the majority of my clothes. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I put my good shoes out the window and on the roof to dry out because they were sopping wet. When I went to check them later on, they were still wet. And soaked in bird poop. FML
Today, I went to collect my clothes out of the dryer. Thinking it would be fun for my small dog, I brought her with me. I put her down and let her sniff around while I put my clean clothes in a basket. I turned around from putting more clothes in the dyer to catch her peeing in my clean clothes. FML
Today, I went to the laundromat. I put a load in the dryer and walked away to check on my other load. When I came back, I saw a homeless man putting his dirty, wet underwear in the dryer with my clean clothes. FML
Today, I was enjoying my dinner by my patio window when I spotted a cat roaming through my backyard. As I observed it explore my yard, I also watched as it climbed onto, then took a piss on the freshly clean clothes I had left to dry. FML
Today, a bird shit on my jacket whilst smoking, I cleaned it and went back outside, and got shit on again. FML
Today, I washed my clothes in the shared laundry room. All my clothes came out smelling like smoke. FML
Today, I did laundry for the first time in weeks. Feeling productive, I dumped everything in, including what I thought was my pile of towels. Turns out, I washed (and shrunk) my roommate’s $200 wool sweater. She found out when I proudly showed her how “clean” everything looked. FML
Today, I put all my clothes into two piles. One pile had clothes I usually wear, the other clothes I wanted to donate. When I was done, I put the piles into two jumbo trash bags. I came back a bit later and they both were gone. My mom donated both bags. I have no clothes. FML
Today, I walked under a tree and heard birds chirping from above. I stopped and looked up, only to catch a face full of bird shit. FML
Today, I rushed home during a torrential downpour. When I got back, I went to take a pee and took off my wet socks while I had the chance. Once I finished, I stood up with used toilet paper in one hand and wet socks in the other. Guess which I tossed into the toilet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have never thought about this before, but I have hung my clothes outside for years, and birds have actually never pooped on them :/ I'm I the only one?

So when did nature become so harmed by dryers? Also, this is the perfect reason why some genius made a dryer.

Dryers use electricity don't they? Using less electricity, which is most likely generated by some form of polluting power plant (just assuming here, doesn't have to be true), means less pollution. Notice the op said 'small', dryers don't actually use that much... Unless you have it running 24/7 of course.

Drying clothes indors might be a bad idea, because during the heating period it is less energy efficent than using a dryer.

64 is right. Even if you make the argument that it can constitute present actions as well, the word karma would still be grossly misused. "Karma embraces both past and present deeds. Hence in one sense, we are the result of what we were; we will be the result of what we are. We are not totally the result of what we were; we will not absolutely be the result of what we are." However, the actual law of karma references the action itself. The reaction or consequence due to karma is vipaka, and when vipaka is negative due to a bad deed it is called adinaya. And this information is based on Buddhist doctrine.

You can dry your clothes inside as well without the dryer.
