They don't do the laundry for you at the laundromat.  They just have the machines; you still need to operate them yourself.

Well, I don't need to worry about it because I will google it.

Really?  It's not that difficult.

1. Put load of laundry in washer, separated by whites versus colors, and by delicates versus normal clothing, sheets, towels.
2. Add the appropriate amount of detergent.  Color-safe bleach for colors, chlorine bleach for whites only (unless you like splotchy clothing).
3. Add fabric softener when required (the washer will tell you when).
4. When done, transfer to the dryer.
5. Add a dryer sheet.
6. If the article in question says "do not machine dry", then do not put it in the dryer.
7. When done, fold laundry.

Google not required.

Actually, there are some laundromats that will do your laundry for you.

You must of not got a c on your science final like I did.

I'm guessing you didn't do all that well on your English exam either.

I actually did decent.

Decently

Both are correct.

No.  Decent is an adjective and decently is an adverb.

You wrote incorrectly.

Welcome to real life.  Just wait until you leave college and maintain your own apartment/condo/home.

By the time I was 12 I had been taught (and ordered to do so by my mom) how to cook, clean house, do laundry, and mow the yard. I taught my son how to do all of that when he was about 12 or 13. My 11 year old daughter is now starting to do all of this as well (sans yard work...that will be a little later.

You can get by with...

1. Put clothes in the washer, start filling with water and add detergent.

2. When finished, remove sweaters and transfer everything else the dryer, add dryer sheet.

3. Collect your clothes and go home.

No sorting required, no separate types of detergent or bleach required, take your chances with dry-clean items, it'll all work out. Your whites will slowly become dingy, but that's about it. If you actually care about your clothes and want them to last longer and come cleaner, then you'll take the time to learn the finer points. But if you don't really care, then laundry is simple. The hardest thing is washer and dryer settings. Stay away from words like delicate and small, and you should be fine, though.

Damn, this turned into a laundry thread over bleach, my bad. But, you'll need to know this stuff! My dad stopped grouping our washes together when we moved to Fort Smith, smh...

My father won't even allow me to do the laundry... He is extremely frugal and constantly getting angry that my family is wasting electricity, water, heat, and the like.

As long as you know the difference between "wasting" & "using", you will be ok.
