Men are from Mars

We recently bought a new washing machine after our old one stopped draining the water out of the wash tub. Our new washing machine is, frankly, beautiful. I can say that because I do about 20 loads of laundry a week. It has fancy buttons, blinking lights, and other "high-tech" stuff. Basically, all I have to do is press start and the machine does the rest.

So here is the ultimate question. How can a man- who can rewire a surround sound system in 2 minutes flat, can plumb and set an entire bathroom, and who can finish an entire basement with only a little direction- screw up washing clothes?

I have explained it three times and referred to the manual. He screws it up. I told him,"Don't touch the washing machine. I will do the laundry when I get back." But NOOOOO, for once he "tries to be helpful". What do I get?????? I get all of my laundry washed in hot water. My new cotton t-shirts-now fit my 5 year old neice. My brand new jeans I bought last week. Are now high-waters. Not that it really matters since I can't button them up now anyway.

HEY!! THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!

New Rule: Never, Ever, Ever, under any circumstance, wash my clothes. EVER!!!!!
