I did laundry last night, because I wanted to wear my camel slacks today, and I thought they were clean but they weren’t. The thing about most of my work pants is that I can’t put them in the dryer. I put them on pants hangers and hang them either on the back of my bedroom door or on the rod for my vertical blinds (this works especially well in the summer when the glass door is always open). Normally if I hang them up early enough, and run the heater in my room all night during winter, they’re completely dry in the morning. Well, last night, I didn’t hang them up until a little after 10, and didn’t run the heater, so they were still quite damp when I got up this morning.
Against my better judgement, I threw them in the dryer for about 20 minutes with another load that was drying, and when I pulled them out, they were still *slightly* damp, but I figured I’d wear them anyway and they’d dry the rest of the way while I was wearing them. Well that was fine for the first 5 minutes or so, then they started to get a little cold. It’s been about an hour since I got dressed, and they’re completely dry except for the backs of my knees. And I just have to laugh at myself.
