What you don't mention is how many nights are on them now and whether anyone has done the nasty on those sheets

I'm running on 18 calendar nights.  TAD was here for 7 of those.  So 25 person-nights.

 

I'm down to 6 nights remaining now, which makes the decision even more difficult.

Eh, 14 days is about my limit for sheets. Besides, fresh sheets feel great.

10 days here. Agree on the fresh sheets.

Down to five nights left though

If my wife ever let the sheets go 10 days, 14 days etc we'd have a serious problem.

You have to add extra nights on there to compensate for doing the nasty on those seven nights. So... well the maid brigade will be there soon to remove the stains and skid marks.

There'd be a serious problem in my house if my husband waited on me to wash the sheets.  The washing machine doesn't have a biometric lock on it that only allows me to use it.

Before I was married I always washed my own sheets.  At least weekly.

 

And I made my own bed.  First thing in the morning before did anything else (as everyone should do unless someone is still in it).

 

Some of those things now fall to the stay at home Mom.  And now my kid is in school from 0800 to 1455.  So my sympathy meter therefore reads zero in that regard.  In fact, I'd gladly do a couple more hours of chores weekly and have the wife get a job and add a second income to the household.  😂

 

Doing laundry amounts to putting the clothes in the washer.  Adding some soap and vinegar.  Pushing a button.  And then swapping from the washer to the drier and pushing another button.  Unloading the drier and cleaning the lint trap.  I'll gladly help fold the laundry if I am present - and really that's the only part of doing laundry that takes any time or effort.

;)  The sheets actually now fall into "the cleaning lady throws them in the wash once a week and moves them to the dryer before she leaves" category.  Otherwise they'd fall into the "whoever notices them" category and that would be somewhere between 7-10 days.  

 

We're both pretty good at starting loads and moving them over, we're both pretty bad at folding the laundry and putting it away.   I would literally pay someone to come do all of that for us.  

 

And hubby makes the bed around me while I'm still in it, every morning because I WFH and thus get to sleep later.  🙄

This is what I was implying...

 

My wife makes the bed every morning and we change the sheets weekly.  When she is away for business, the bed doesn't get made until the day she comes home.

At 8:00 a.m. I placed on order for store pickup on W****t.com.  Almost six hours later it still isn't ready.

 

 

 

It's

 

two

 

items.

 

 

 

Why did I do this, you ask?  At 7:00 a.m. I got a targeted email offer from TopCashBack, offering an extra $5 off a $15 W****t purchase (and I needed paper towels and Ziploc® sandwich bags).

It's now been 9 hours since I placed the order, and it still isn't ready.  

 

Now I just refuse to go pick it up.

 

I am leaving early tomorrow morning and won't be back until ~10/13.  Eventually they will put the items back and refund my credit card.

 

Paper towels and Ziploc bags.  Good lord.

It's decision time.

 

Do I wash the sheets or endure them for seven more nights?

 

I'm leaving next Saturday and the Maid Brigade will be here before I return.

 

 

 

I ultimately decided to sleep in filth for the duration.  Looking forward to fresh sheets when I get back.

Last night:

 

7:00 pm : Filled out the room service breakfast order door hanger and hung it outside on the door handle, and requested 6:30 am delivery.

 

This morning:

 

6:30 am: No breakfast

 

6:40 am: No breakfast

 

6:50 am: No  breakfast

 

Checked the door handle.  Hanger wasn't there.  Called the restaurant/room service extension.  No answer.

 

6:52 am: Called the front desk for help.  There is no breakfast on Sunday, only brunch in the restaurant beginning at 9, which is when I need to leave. 

 

This fact is apparently noted somewhere on the door hanger. 

 

Which they picked up. 

 

And then did nothing with.
