Season’s cleaning
Dear Robin,
I like to keep things stylin’, fresh, and clean. To achieve this, Sunday is my laundry day. It seems like everyone in my building has laundry day on Sunday. Often, people leave their clothes in the washer long after the cycle ends. How long should I wait before I take their clothes out so my clothes can have a bath?
Sincerely,
Stud needs suds
Hey hey,
This is an ever-raging problem in the laundry community. Thank you for bringing this to the readers’ attention. For me, if a person isn’t there right when their laundry is done in the dryer, I’m pulling it out myself and plopping it into their basket on top of the machine. I’ve got no time for foolishness like that. The same goes for the washing machine. If the individual is not there to transfer their laundry from the machine to the dryer while I’m waiting my ass off for a machine, Imma be right there throwing all of their shrinkables into the closest dryer. They’ve just gotta deal with it or visit my lawyer. I recommend you do the same.

Days of dreamin’
Dear Robin,
I’ve been feeling stuck lately. I can’t tell if I want to go to grad school, travel around the world, or become a herbalist who lives in a shack in the forest with many pets. Or maybe I want to be a professional forest nymph. Regardless, there are too many options, and I want to do all of them! What do you suggest?
Sincerely,
Lost at Sea
Hello,
Before you do anything else, please write down a long list of your hopes and dreams and desires and longings. Whichever option fulfills as many of those things as possible, choose that. Unless it’s hella expensive, then just call the bank for a loan first.
Robin
