I'm having a hard time deciding what troubles me most: that you know the scent of another man's wife, that you know the scent of some poor woman's husband, or that you know the scent of a dead rancid pole cat... ;)

Anyone who lived in the country knows that one... I'd rule that one out by default.... I'm just an old small-town country hick kid who happened to earn the money for a 'puter in high-school.... I earned it: seeding fields, shoveling ... natural fertilizer, bailing hay, sacking groceries, redrawing architectural drawings of schools, forging senior Id's, selling artwork, and science fair earnings (about $1500 worth over 5 years). :) okay, I'm a little more than a country hick kid. ;P

Ah, so you did it properly then. You made an attempt and messed it up so as to avoid future requests to do it because you would just make it worse. Nicely done :-D

Folding? There's an app for that. Ask Elaine, she is bound to know all about it. :)

I've heard that people fold at home.

Just can't figure it out. How am I supposed to know which socks are my wife's, my young son's, my daughter's, my older son's. Sheesh! Everytime I take them off the line and throw them in the basket, my bride of 32 years complains that I need to keep them in pairs, sort them by owner, and so on. Now that boys wear those low-cut socks, I don't have a clue what belongs to who. And don't get me started with folding T-shirts, putting in the correct piles, colors, sizes, AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! And, whoever heard of folding underwear. I just throw mine in the drawer. Fold underwear! Give me a break. I've got to move to a new place - something on the fifth floor or higher. Jumping out of a ground floor window just isn't effective.
I feel your pain. As a programmer, however, I can't answer your question. Instead, I am obliged to point out that you're trying to solve the wrong problem. Suggestions: 1) Buy lots of pairs of generic black socks that will suit everyone. 2) Buy yourself distinctive socks, and let everyone else fight it out between themselves. 3) Get everyone to stop wearing socks. Bin all existing socks. 4) Clip socks together when you take them off, and leave them clipped in the wash. That's how many blind sock-sorters achieve good results. 5) Buy everyone distinctive socks. Eg. you = purple, younger son = pink etc. 6) Ask wife to demonstrate how to sort socks - either learn from her, or (better still) keep asking for repeat demos. 7) Do each person's laundary separately. 8) Learn to make pie - sounds like much less difficult. 9) Send me pie. It won't solve the sock problem, but I do like cherry pie. Mmm... pie.

I help quite regularly now casue the soon-to-be wife goes on strike every now and then. In fairness, she was made redundant last year and is taking any work on offer at the minute. This means that sometimes she's working 3 jobs at once and ends up working late into the evening.

I think that the typical answer in that case (programming question in the lounge) would apply... Put the flamesuit and let the fire take care of all the clothes... No clothes = no problem... :rolleyes:

Choose the reply that best fits you. The first one probably does not apply since you have already admitted you help with the laundry :) Sexist Reply: Laundry is Women's work.

You are missing the obvious! You must REALLY demonstrate total incompentence. You have to say "I did sort them by owner!". She will fire you and you can get on with screwing up the next job that you don't want to do! Simple! :)

There are lots of solutions to this problem. If you have lots of money, then don't wash them. Just throw them away and put on a new pair each day. If you have slightly less money then, buy a washing machine for every member of the family and only wash the correct socks in the allocated washing machine for the owner of the socks. If you don't have much money but can spell, then sow the owners name on to their socks. If you have less money, then say who ever washes the socks can wear them. If you have very little money then just have one pair of socks for the whole family and share them. And if you have no money then just dont where any socks as you have no money to buy any. :confused:

i'll tell you a solution i would use my self, if there are N members in your house, keep N*K bag for use, K is integer and K > 0 if you you want to save money, K = 1 note: there are bags that have mutiple places, to solve the problem of unidentified items do the following: - put a big bag for every member - at the regular time of cleaning - sort out duplications .. etc to identify items: - force family to make items unique, when similiar unique in color, if different, different in size - you can use tags, tag similar items .. etc i hope i helped, even if it's a littel

For the future.. Color code them... That's how they do it in my family. When we buy new socks or under ware, my mom sews a small x in a certain position with the according color. My mom has red, I have blue, my dad has green and my bro has yellow ( radioactive material). When we do the laundry, we just sort by color, nice and easy.
