Grown Man Hates Doing Laundry, Doesn’t Understand Why His Family Calls Him Out On His Stinky Clothes

Doing chores is one of the most annoying parts of being an adult. What do you mean I’ll have to mop my floors, dust my shelves, and do the laundry every weekend for the rest of my life? We truly don’t know how good we have it while we still live with our parents, and, well, some adult children might still take advantage of that if they haven’t moved out yet.

This 20-year-old guy certainly did, but his gross laundry habit was beginning to drive his parents insane. One day, they finally put their foot down and banned him from using the washing machine. What followed was a bizarre yet hilarious string of events that served as a good wake-up call for the coddling parents and the man-child son.

    Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.
