DP has just done a load of washing.....

[Winniewoooooooo]

And hung it out.

Are we doomed (YANBU)? Or is it Superstitious claptrap (YABU)?

I have never heard this. Just put a wash on as we are running out of clean clothes.

Oh crap. Never heard this. It's too late now, washing machine has reached spin cycle.

Fingers crossed 😉 that it's superstitious claptrap then.

Never heard of this. That's me fucked then, I'm on my third load.

Oh, always a slightly different one in our family.
wash on New years eve, you wash someone out, wash on new years day you wash someone in.

Doomed!!!!
He has washed someone away!!
😁

I think it's a genius excuse not to do washing on a hangover. Well played , women of yore.

Well three loads done, dried and airing. Guess time will tell........

I've just gone into the kitchen and DH has put a load of washing on as well. Should I LTB?

I really hope he’s brought it in now OP - it multiplies the bad luck if it gets darked on 😱

The only place I've heard this superstition is on Mumsnet! I normally do a load of laundry but haven't got a full load today without changing the beds which I couldn't be bothered to do today.

He’s just doing it as part of his quota to have sex (judging by other MN threads).

Oh gosh I've washed all my bedding, and my DIL has just put on a load!
I'm shocked I've never heard of this superstition???

Fuck, really?! I just hung load 2 out on the line! #doomedtoalleternity

I didn't know about this superstition. My washing machine broke down yesterday, I was going to do another load today. I'm not sure how I feel about it now.
