"Airing" clothes - necessary or just extra work?

[ElspethFlashman]

This applies less to the tumble driers amongst us as the line and clothes horse driers.

I've been thinking about this lately as I seem to be doing laundry 5 out of 7 days at the moment. My MIL is aghast at the idea I take clothes off my ceiling airer and straight into drawers. She puts them in the tumble drier for 5 mins first.

I was at work saying this seemed redundant and unnecessary and lo and behold, it seems every bloody colleague I have was horrified at the idea I put DRY clothes straight into drawers!

AIBU?

I've just realised I do "air" my laundry after it's been tumble dried as well. I fold it and leave it on the top until I can be bothered putting it away...

Anything I pull out of a drawer that isn't thoroughly dry and aired gets blasted with my hairdryer before I put it on.

If i've had towels or bedding on the washing line to dry i'll throw them in the tumble dryer for ten minutes when I bring them in, purely to make sure they are properly dry, and to soften the towels. Everything else gets put away straightaway, haven't got the time or space for 'airing'.
