I don’t feel like I’m being unreasonable when I say that the options available when buying a new laundry hamper SUCK

I’ve spent like an hour being disappointed by hampers 🙄

I never knew it was that serious 😶
itsok · 31-35, F
@deadgerbil do they have one like that but with two sections?
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@itsok today, we will learn about compromise,,,,
itsok · 31-35, F
@deadgerbil I don’t feel like two sections was asking that much 😵 but all the ones that have sections for separating are like in flimsy looking bags and don’t seem sturdy
They all look like the came out of a Midwest housewife's Pinterest page she first and last used in 2012

@PepsiColaP the hampers I bought say LAUNDRY on them 😭 like I’m gonna forget what they’re for?
@itsok you might feel YOLO and confused them for a time machine xD
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@PepsiColaP mine are old school wicker baskets… and then when I sort through and bring ‘them down the stairs with a wheeled bin… I fucking yank that shit down. I do 4 people’s worth of laundry 🙀

I am not so sure that’s cool or a flex lmao

Update: this is not the ultra heavy duty sturdy laundry hampers I was promised when I ordered them 😵
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@itsok I won't test you, but I'll quiz you
itsok · 31-35, F
@Degbeme if I send it back I’m without a hamper again. I’m so tired of this
itsok · 31-35, F
@deadgerbil I’m ready

It's tough 😔 what type are you looking for?
SW-User
@itsok that's true, kind of flimsy if over stuffed.

This is metal

itsok · 31-35, F
@SW-User that one actually looks closer to what I wanted than any of the other ones I came across!
SW-User
@itsok it says metal, so it might be a little sturdier.

And now it’s hampered your whole day

There's a model that washes and folds deposited linens, but it was 50 extra🤷🏻‍♂️
Livingwell · 61-69, M
Bed bath and beyond used to have that stuff. But not sure where to go now.
calicuz · 56-60, M
Geez, you must be the one that the store flickers the lights to tell you it's time to leave.
itsok · 31-35, F
@calicuz i was looking online
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
I bought many at Walmart that I have really enjoyed .
itsok · 31-35, F
@Muthafukajones I’ve been looking at Walmart and nothing is quite right
Pfuzylogic · M
Don’t forget the happy tune!

TK Maxx is usually good
mindstruggle · 31-35, F
Yep. I feel ya!
Classified · M
So that's why mine has damage 😩
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
It's true! Such madness.

Iwillwait · M
Are we really talking about "Laundry Hampers," here?
itsok · 31-35, F
@Iwillwait Uhmm.. yes?
soulshadow · 36-40, M
Yeah.. but that's because most people have shit taste and so the stores cater to the masses. Consider it a compliment of your exceptional taste and high standards for hampers.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
It`s a thing you throw your dirty clothes in dear. 🙄
Degbeme · 70-79, M
Stink eye....

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I gave up on using a laundry hamper a long time ago. I just throw my dirty clothes in the washer, and when it fills up, I start it.
Get a hamster instead,
itsok · 31-35, F
@NudasPriest hamsters are known to be horrible at doing laundry. They’re too small
@itsok Hmmm. Capybara?
itsok · 31-35, F
@NudasPriest acquiring a capybara may end up being easier than getting a hamper
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
Amazon had nothing?
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@itsok Well damn, did you find anything yet?
itsok · 31-35, F
@iamonfire696 nope! I looked in a few stores today. I checked out the home section in bealls. Nothin yet 😞
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@itsok Darn it. That’s disappointing
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
I felt the same when trying to buy a new garbage can. Like how fucking hard is it to make a simple, non-woven, non-weird garbage can?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@MartinTheFirst I remember when metal waste baskets were the norm. Whatever happened to that?
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@LordShadowfire i want that sweet sweet plastic garbage can
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
im still using the one my mom bought me years ago XD
itsok · 31-35, F
@Moneyonmymind I’ve been using the same one for 10+ years and gave it away this week to someone who needed it. Thinking I’d have no problem getting another one 😵
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@itsok ohh
I use those solid 20 gallon storage totes with the lids.
itsok · 31-35, F
@ninalanyon that sounds nice for someone who lives alone, or can mix a household’s laundry. I don’t live alone, so I can’t keep my clothes on top of the washer. The space I have for them is across the house in a closet
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@itsok There are three of us in the house (was four until No. 3 son moved out in the spring). We have two laundry baskets, one for light or delicate things, the other for the rest. One lives on top of the washing machine the other on top of the drier. All this is in the wash room in the cellar. Once the washing is dry it's the responsibility of the owner of each item to take it away to their own space two floors away up the stairs.

@ninalanyon interesting
