    1. Does the dryer shrink your clothes?

      As a follow up to the "do you iron your clothes" question, does anyone else experience significant clothes shrinkage (particularly for t shirts) when they put clothes in the dryer? This never used to be a problem, but no matter what settings I use, it always seems to shrink them now!

      Anyone got any advice? I am currently hanging my best clothes to avoid shrinkage, but a better solution would be preferred.

    2. Do you iron your clothes?

      I can't imagine anyone doing this regularly but at the same time, people at work have wrinkle-free clothes! I hear people take their clothes to the laundromat to avoid doing so, but that seems...

      I can't imagine anyone doing this regularly but at the same time, people at work have wrinkle-free clothes!

      I hear people take their clothes to the laundromat to avoid doing so, but that seems like it'll get expensive.

      How do you manage to keep your office clothes neat and presentable?

    3. The "go fix a minor annoyance" togetherness topic

      There's something small that you've been meaning to do but, for whatever reason, you haven't done it. Rather than just forgetting about it, however, your brain has decided to make it take up a minor amount of space in your awareness -- not enough to make it an immediate concern or something you plan to act on, but still just enough to be annoying.

      Well, this is your call to address the issue head on! Pull that mental splinter out and get rid of it for good!

      Maybe you need to...

      • change an air filter
      • tighten your showerhead
      • go through that stack of mail
      • box up a return
      • put more air in your bike tires
      • rearrange a bookshelf
      • throw out some expired cans
      • vacuum behind the couch
      • clean the dust out of your computer fan
      • etc.

      Whatever it is, this topic is your call to GO DO THE THING.

      And then, come back here and tell us what you did.

      One minor annoyance solved for only one person? Not a big deal.

      LOTS of minor annoyances solved for LOTS of different people? GIGANTIC DEAL!

      This topic is our space to communally revel in the glorious shared feeling of being slightly more annoyance-free, together.


      IMPORTANT: Clearing up multiple annoyances is explicitly allowed!
