I loooooove cleaning the lint trap!

[–]danny_noonan4 23 points24 points ago

It's just an incredibly satisfying experience... I don't even know why.

[–]balchynz 3 points4 points ago

I use the lint as firelighters for my fire.

[–]Pumpernickell 0 points1 point ago

I collect lint for a year and then doing my annual lint tub!

[–]balchynz 1 point2 points ago

I have no idea what that means

[–]Catcross 0 points1 point ago

he puts his penis in the lint tub.

[–]varsitycheer15 4 points5 points ago

Cleaning the lint trap is probably my favorite part about doing laundry.

[–]Samjogo 0 points1 point ago

why do my chips taste like ramen?

[–]WestheimerRd 20 points21 points ago

FACT: This will continue to happen for the duration of your entire life no matter where you live until you own your own washer and dryer. Do not be fooled by your sense of optimism.

[–]steinmas 3 points4 points ago

Unless you live with someone who doesn't clean it.

[–]WestheimerRd 2 points3 points ago

I guess I was operating on the pretext of being single, but that's a valid point.

[–]steinmas 3 points4 points ago

Don't accept Forever Alone so easily my friend!

[–]GreenTeam 4 points5 points ago

I'm not forever alone, but I highly doubt my cats is going to start using the dryer.

[–]gak001 0 points1 point ago

Wait... do cats count? I thought Forever Alone implied cat ownership.

[–]WestheimerRd 0 points1 point ago

I try to! Funny thing is, I always used to refer to myself as "single forever" before I ever heard of Reddit. I think the fact that it's a social norm here makes me want to rebel against the masses.

[–]RionMan 9 points10 points ago

you're supposed to clean it before you use it, not after

[–]FalseGenesis[S] 1 point2 points ago

Why not both?

[–]w1nst0n 0 points1 point ago

Seriously. That shit's therapeutic.

[–]RionMan 0 points1 point ago

Well, why clean it twice and spend more time doing laundry when you can just grab your clothes and get out of there? You can also clean it while the washer is running.

[–]h1ena 6 points7 points ago

That's actually kinda dangerous. Those things can start fires if left unattended for to long.

[–]ummwut 6 points7 points ago

some people actually dont know about them. yes, there are people out there who have fuck-all an idea about how the world works.

[–]JewBot6000 1 point2 points ago

blame the parents, it's what I do.

[–]ummwut 0 points1 point ago

i can attest to the fact that idiots and clueless people are raised by the same.

[–]skymind 0 points1 point ago

People tend not to read things or follow directions of said things. No one ever told me about lint traps, but come on... it says right there!

[–]gak001 2 points3 points ago

True story. I came home to a firetruck in front of my house because some lint build-up in the vent started smoking.

[–]thatprettichick 3 points4 points ago

I feels ya, brah. I feels ya.

Just think of how therapeutic it is, taking off all that dirty filthy stuff everyone else has been unknowingly (or uncaringly) dealing with and knowing that your laundry is gonna be that much better-done than theirs.

[–]pachonga 3 points4 points ago

Or when people don't take their clothes out when they're done and you have to do it for them because your shit needs to get dried. Fuck those people.

[–]Tearill 2 points3 points ago

I once cleaned out all of the lint traps in the laundry room i was doing my laundry in at my dorm. The amount of lint combined together and formed a human-like monster, a shook its hand and we're now best friends.

[–]StopReadingMyUser 1 point2 points ago

How it normally happens is they still empty the lint trap, it's just from the person before them (unless they catch the dryer on fire).

And thus, the vicious cycle continues…

[–]cheese-and-candy 1 point2 points ago

Title should just be "Laundry Rooms."

[–]AshleyAndYou 1 point2 points ago

That's my favorite part!

[–]SanchoDeLaRuse 1 point2 points ago

Assume it will always be full and "that's the code."

You won't be frustrated when you see it full, but you'll be happy when it's empty. Then you don't feel guilty for leaving it how it was, or you feel good for leaving it better.

[–]zensuckit 0 points1 point ago

Pretty much this. You clean the lint trap before you load the dryer, not after drying. And is this really the worst problem in your college laundry room?

[–]TribalTribesman 1 point2 points ago

I did it just now, actually.

Once, it was so full to the point that there was a wonderful multicolored lint-splosion all over my newly dried clothes. It was great, except... not.

[–]DaRabidMonkey 0 points1 point ago

Can't clean the lint traps at my university. They have locks on them and have to be cleared by a custodian.

[–]3insteel 7 points8 points ago

so your university dryers are tinderboxes ready to burn?

[–]DaRabidMonkey 1 point2 points ago

Haha, I think I saw a guy cleaning them out once, but I hope that wasn't a yearly clearing, lol.

[–]billylongwang 0 points1 point ago

I think you probably are the only person cleaning it, except maybe when the cleaner cleans it twice a year.

[–]jmike3543 0 points1 point ago

don't worry you're not alone!

[–]imshane14 0 points1 point ago

Yes. Yes you are. I have no doubt. Unless I live with you, which is unlikely because I live with my facebook loving family, and the creature in my closet only lurks reddit.

[–]3insteel 0 points1 point ago

Its nice living with him... pretty sure our t.v. only ever has reddit on it

[–]FalseGenesis[S] 1 point2 points ago

And EVE. Don't forget about EVE man.

[–]3insteel 0 points1 point ago

And hockey

[–]gak001 0 points1 point ago

4 years of college and now living in an apartment building... people are inconsiderate.

[–]jik_56_I 0 points1 point ago

what's this meme called?

[–]Zondraxor 0 points1 point ago

Instructions on lint traps usually tell you to clean it before each load, not after. I don't see how there could be a problem.

[–]thincolnlincoln 0 points1 point ago

There were times I cleaned all of the lint traps. It was somehow... therapeutic or cathartic.

[–]MrDoubleE 0 points1 point ago

Hey what's this meme called? I know, I suck.

[–]Killashard 0 points1 point ago

Sadly, you might be the only one who actually knows there IS a lint trap there.

[–]cancernigger 0 points1 point ago

Only thing I miss about college is getting to clean a healthy film of lint out of the dryer. Yes, it was that bad.

[–]Heroshade 0 points1 point ago

No, four or five other people asked the same question just last week.

[–]Colonel_Johnson 0 points1 point ago

Every time I find lint in the dryer this is in the back of my head

[–]iownachalkboard7 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I actually think you are.

[–]maymoustache 0 points1 point ago

Yes.

[–]Kiheiboy 0 points1 point ago

is that what you kids are calling it these days.... lint trap..

[–]ChunkBunny 0 points1 point ago

Ah, public laundry rooms. Where people pay for the privilege of inconveniencing and annoying the crap out of others. Can't say I miss it.

[–]ghostfacechillah 0 points1 point ago

What's a lint trap?

[–]Jojomaco 7 points8 points ago

My bellybutton.

[–]3insteel 0 points1 point ago

He made to the front page of advice animals! Downvote him to oblivion!

[–]FalseGenesis[S] 4 points5 points ago

Roommate; please ignore.

[–]3insteel 1 point2 points ago

gogo gadget troll roomate.

[–]KB84 -2 points-1 points ago

I pee'd in a few dryers but left the lint alone

[–]LibraryNerdOne -1 points0 points ago

This sounds more like a first world problem.
