Today, my husband decided to be helpful and do all the laundry, including pre-treating all the stains. He felt that Clorox Clean-Up with Bleach would be the most effective. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my husband decided to drain his motorcycle oil into an empty bottle of laundry detergent. Also today, I decided to lift a stain out of my white comforter with some detergent I found in the garage. FML
Today, my husband finally decided to help with the laundry. He washed a pen and it exploded in the dryer. FML
Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML
Today, my boyfriend did the washing as an attempt to help me. Not only are all my clothes now pink, he refuses to do the dishes, vacuuming, bathroom, ironing etc., as he has done "plenty." FML
Today, I cleaned my bathroom from top to bottom. Tonight, my husband threw up all over the bathroom. He actually cleaned it up himself, including the toilet. I went to use the toilet, put down the seat and sat down. Guess which part of the toilet he DIDN'T clean. FML
Today, my brother sprayed the entire kitchen, including all the dishes, with industrial strength spray adhesive, thinking it was disinfectant. I'm the one who got to clean it up. FML
Today, I went to gather the laundry out of the dryer. My daughter had seen my wife put bleach in the washer, so she decided that honey in the dryer would make the clothes smell sweet. She wasn't wrong, but now I have a giant ball of sticky socks and underwear. FML
Today, our dishwasher broke. It's my husband's chore to do the dishes, but he refused to hand-wash them, and instead suggested we take them all up to his mother's for her to put in her dishwasher. FML
Today, I asked my SO for help with just the laundry, which translated into him only washing his clothes. We're married with multiple kids, and I currently work 2 jobs. FML
Today, while dog sitting, the dog peed on the carpet. There was a bottle of cleaning spray on the counter so I sprayed the spot. Turns out that spray was Clorox Bleach. Now their carpet is bright orange. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He thought that the stuff that has bleach in it-Bleach?- would be most effective to help you? Automatic Facepalm!

He was feigning incompetence in order to avoid having to do laundry again in the future. People do it all the time in order to escape a job they don't want to do. If someone fails spectacularly at a task the first time, they dramatically increased the odds they will not be asked to do said task in the future.

This. Make him pay for all the ruined clothing and THEN make him do the laundry again. The correct way, or else you'll have to slap a dick!

"Make him pay" --> "You are married, so 'punishing' him monetarily hurts both of you" Fixed that for ya. First one's free.

@108: Not if the couple has separate bank accounts. It's not uncommon to have a joint account for bills and such, and separate accounts for each person's dispensable income. Make him pay for it out of his personal spending money. Besides, I've never pre-treated a stain in my life and I know better than to go spraying bleach on everything. There's no excuse for living under a rock.

Haha, well, you can separate the money however you want, but if you're married, living in the same house, paying the same bills, eating the same groceries... It's a pretty empty attempt at maintaining individuality / freedom / whatever. You shouldn't get married if you aren't willing to give those things up to a degree, anyway. All that to say: trying to punish your spouse using money is bad advice.

Not good enough? How about sexist and racist? It's a Chinese woman's job.

Who cares? It's just some clothes. spend some time with your husband as you teach him how to properly wash clothes.

Oooh, FYL for SURE! That happened to me once years ago when I had a crap job and few nice clothes. My roommate bleached my work clothes. I can just remember looking into the washing machine and thinking, I could become homeless because of this. If I lose my job because I have no clothes to wear to it, it's a short jump from there to life in my car. :) Thank God it didn't turn out that way!

FYL, your husband is too stupid to RTFM on the bottle. That's what you get when you marry someone who has never lived alone though...
