There’s a special kind of frustration that comes from a chore you can never completely finish.

When one woman noticed that her current clothes didn’t get washed when the rest of her laundry did, it made her realize the never-ending loop that some households chores really were.

Anyone who also loathes doing laundry should definitely read on.
