I’m young and well off enough to never have needed to hand wash (+ until recently I’ve only worn things that are washer and dryer friendly), but last year the washing machine at the last place broke and I was out of clean clothes so I had to hand wash and Jesus Christ I didn’t realise wet clothes were that fucking heavy when waterlogged. I actually fucked my back up for a few weeks thinking that I could be superman and grab a whole bunch of them and lift them with 1 hand without a warm up.

Also spilled a drink while I was in bed and had to wash my electric blanket which sucked so much. I was trying to wash it carefully because I didn’t want to snap the elements and get electrocuted the next time I plugged it in so I couldn’t wring it very much and had to carry it draped over my shoulder dripping on me and everything else. I’ve decided that next time I wash it, I’m taking it outside and hosing it down over the clothes line because I was NOT prepared for that
