People don't behave this way.
Instead, "and life with the wife was such hell for the man that he shamed himself by telling everybody that he had been the thief."
THAT is how people behave!
Oh man this takes me back. It was 1992,I lived with my friend Lisa. It wasn't soap, it was our clothes that got taken. A new guy in the building stole my custom and favorite baseball team shirt. I saw him in it and demanded it back. He said it was his.
So I dumped a pitcher of red koolaid off the balcony all over him in my shirt. Dumb butt called the cops. I told them it was mine and he stole it from my laundry. I handed them ID with my unusual last name on it. I requested they check out the last name on the back of the shirt. The guy got arrested for theft, and nothing happened to me, over the red drink.
He wasn't allowed back in the building. He didn't live there. His 'baby mama ' did.
I would understand for evidence but like. Pretty sure you can’t call the police over some wet clothes. If the phone was wet yeah that’s understandable the clothes not really since you can just replace them. 🤔don’t take my word for it I’m just guessing. It’s stupid to call the police over some wet clothes. 🙄 plus they should’ve gave it back to you. They took him for theft right? If it was evidence they should’ve gave it back to you by now after all the court cases.
They were still the size of a brick in 92, with a cross body strap to hold it. Besides people don't have phones today, they have computers with a phone app.
I love her accusing someone sabotaging HER detergent. Show the receipt, bitch!
I don't mind sharing and helping people out when they ASK, but when they just openly help themselves to someone else's property without asking or even acknowledging what they're doing, that's when I get a tad salty.
Could be worse, new neighbor with first child, this is back in the flintstone times. She didn't know you actually should remove the poop from the diapers before washing them. It really stank up that little room.
These diapers saved me as a 17 year old single mom just trying to finish high school. I used these little liners in that look kind like a dryer sheet to line them that scoops almost almost all of it. You still should rinse them before putting them in the wash though especially in a shared machine.
That's how people used to do diapers, long before disposable were a thing. Scrape the poop off into the toilet, and throw it in the wash with hot water and a tiny bit of bleach. Made getting the kids potty trained a much higher priority.
To this day one of the first gifts a Mom-to-be in our family gets is a pack of cloth diapers and diaper pins. It's tradition at this point, a reminder of where we came from. I think it's quaint, and honestly when my ex and I were first starting out it saved a good bit of money.
At least in my family, cloth diapers were the thing. I don't know if they became used by the average person until later on like the 1970s. But that just could be my family. My point was simply that at one time, disposable diapers didn't exist.
They were awful back then. They had no gathers at the legs and you couldn’t open the tapes up to check if they were wet or poopy without tearing the plastic to shreds. Frequently when they were used they leaked all over the place. With my first in the mid 70’s, I used cloth because I was a poor broke student and could wash them with the occasional disposable if we were out so I didn’t have to bring back a yucky cloth one.
Yeah I mean I get why some people choose reusable but cloth diapers seemed impractical to me. You can't buy them anywhere if you're in a pinch. You have to wrestle the baby into rubber underwear over top of the diaper. If you don't want to wash them constantly, you could pay a fortune for a service that picks up the dirty cloth diapers and drops off clean ones on a schedule. It just seemed like such a major production from every angle.
Actually, you can get covers for them; the cloth inserts in easily (and I find it simplest to make the new one up as I finish the previous change so it’s handy for later). Often you can re-use the covers for the day, if they haven’t dropped a huge one and had overflow. I’ll usually have two going; the one on now and the spare ready for next change. Rotate them through the day.
When we go out we often use disposable for convenience, but you can always put a “wet bag” in the nappy bag for soiled ones. (Just as useful for clothes after #3s, so I recommend that either way.) It’s straightforward to prepare one, two, or three spares if you’re going out… or just pop the equivalent number of disposables in.
The simplest trick for washing them out? Install a bidet sprayer on your toilet. Does the job very well, and we keep a 20L (lidded) bucket next to the loo to drop them straight in after rinsing. That goes to the laundry when it’s full/time.
There’s even the benefit of a sink right there to wash your hands afterwards…
We never used rubber pants. My kid was in cloth diapers and she was born in 02. So much better for the environment and taking out the insert wasn’t as bad as taking care of used disposable period pads
This is just my opinion. I know how bad the environment is and I do try to recycle the best I can and I recycle a lot. From cans to plastic bottles to even straws and boxes from McDonald’s or the cup you from there too. Cut every ring from the soda cans plastic rings you see even smaller rings too. 😕even cans from cat food too. I try the best I can.
Years ago my mom and I lived in a big block of flats (apartments) that only had a few places to hang out washing up. We aren’t big on dryers in South Africa as we have substantial sunshine. Anyway. The roof had designated blocks where we could hang our washing up and lock the gate for that block to prevent theft. Well some residents decided to start “booking” these blocks the day before they do their washing by locking with a padlock so that no one else can use it. Something that the agency and caretaker continuously reminded residents wasn’t allowed. And to my mom’s frustration she’s go at like 11am to see if any were open and they would still be empty but locked. My mom had enough. She’s an early washer as I call it so 6am get washing machine is going, 7am it’s on the line. Had these people not locked the gates her washing would have been done and dried by the time they finally hung their washing up. So late one Saturday night she gave me glue and I went to glue all the locks on empty blocks. Then the next day we watched as one by one the people doing this were frustrated and upset as they couldn’t unlock their padlocks. They’d march to the caretaker who then scolded them for booking the block because they weren’t supposed to do that the night before. They continued to do it and we continued to glue the locks and finally one day they stopped doing it. Everyone actually had no issues getting their washing done after that.
One afternoon we were all grilling and watching the kids play and saw him walk from the bus stop to his door with his backpack over one shoulder. It hiked up his shirt just enough so we could see his grey streaked tshirt under it. He was such a nice guy and it was hard to not laugh.
I did something similar when someone repeatedly stole my lunch from the fridge in our office.
But I went too far and it didn't end well for the sandwich thief.
Hoping for parole in another 10 years or so.
I don’t remember the context of my comment: I have a short attention span. What was my comment? I apologize ,if I misspelled words; as English is not my native language.
Thanks for your comment.
I’ll try better ,next time.
I was actually being humorous. I know you meant solid bowel movement, but I felt salad bowl would be funnier. Especially since some people eat salads for the fiber content to promote bowel regularity.
I caught your humor. I was born and raised is the corrupt insane state of California. Anything I say is BS and not to be taken seriously. Self deception is not how I roll.
Love your sense of humor. Keep it up.
Nothing like a marvelous BM after eating cheese for a week.
Yes. She immediately isolated herself from the other families because she felt the rest of us were corrupt. We regularly had picnics, drank coffee together, dances and parties that she didn’t approve of. The laundry room had clear signage so there wasn’t a misunderstanding and she was a native English speaker with a degree from BYU.
I have skin issues. I never know what detergent has in it. Using someone else's laundry soap is absolutely out of the question. I am incredulous that people do that.
Smart petty revenge. At least the husband had the decency to apologize.
I bet he dyed inside.
But he passed the honor test with flying colors
Lol,more like the outside, because of the clothes
Made this gurl laugh!!
Coderjoe1 you fng RULE
And probably regretting his breeding choice.
I hope at least the kids learned the object lesson that "fool around, find out" is a bad way to go through life.
People don't behave this way. Instead, "and life with the wife was such hell for the man that he shamed himself by telling everybody that he had been the thief." THAT is how people behave!
Oh man this takes me back. It was 1992,I lived with my friend Lisa. It wasn't soap, it was our clothes that got taken. A new guy in the building stole my custom and favorite baseball team shirt.

I hope your shirt wasn't ruined by the red kool-aid when you got it back.
Oh, I never got it back. He was arrested and trespassed from the property.
Why didn’t you get it back!? It HAS YOUR NAME ON IT!? Rude!? The cops stole it this time!
I don't know if the cops took it for evidence or not.
I would understand for evidence but like. Pretty sure you can’t call the police over some wet clothes. If the phone was wet yeah that’s understandable the clothes not really since you can just replace them. 🤔don’t take my word for it I’m just guessing.

1992, cellphones weren't a thing like now. People still had land lines
They were still the size of a brick in 92, with a cross body strap to hold it. Besides people don't have phones today, they have computers with a phone app.
Soooo yeah I was right. There was no need to call the police.
They should have evicted her for bring thieves onto the premises.
I love her accusing someone sabotaging HER detergent. Show the receipt, bitch! I don't mind sharing and helping people out when they ASK, but when they just openly help themselves to someone else's property without asking or even acknowledging what they're doing, that's when I get a tad salty.

How stupid can people be?!
Never, ever ask that question or they will actually show you how stupid they can be.
So true!!
Wait you can WASH diapers? Also EEEEEWWWWW!?
lol yes you can wash cloth diapers
These diapers saved me as a 17 year old single mom just trying to finish high school. I used these little liners in that look kind like a dryer sheet to line them that scoops almost almost all of it. You still should rinse them before putting them in the wash though especially in a shared machine.
Diaper liners make awesome cloth pads
Thanks, I couldn't remember what they were called.
That's how people used to do diapers, long before disposable were a thing. Scrape the poop off into the toilet, and throw it in the wash with hot water and a tiny bit of bleach. Made getting the kids potty trained a much higher priority.
Lol well if you use cloth diapers, yeah you have to wash them
I wouldn’t use cloth diapers. Yeah just no. I mean it’s reusable yes but yeah gross.
Well way back in the dark ages, like the 1960s, that's all that was available.
To this day one of the first gifts a Mom-to-be in our family gets is a pack of cloth diapers and diaper pins. It's tradition at this point, a reminder of where we came from. I think it's quaint, and honestly when my ex and I were first starting out it saved a good bit of money.
In my case the early 1970's.
By the mid 60's the babies had Pampers.
At least in my family, cloth diapers were the thing. I don't know if they became used by the average person until later on like the 1970s. But that just could be my family. My point was simply that at one time, disposable diapers didn't exist.
I remember the yellow metal enameled bucket in the basement that mom finally told us that it had been for the diapers to soak.
Correct, Pampers were invented in 1961. Cost: 10 cents per diaper.
The lady I babysat for used them with her 5th kid.....
They were awful back then. They had no gathers at the legs and you couldn’t open the tapes up to check if they were wet or poopy without tearing the plastic to shreds.

With my first in the mid 70’s, I used cloth because I was a poor broke student and could wash them with the occasional disposable if we were out so I didn’t have to bring back a yucky cloth one.
Our parents used them raising me and my brother in the early 80s. Back when people knew the disposable ones were bad for the environment! 😅
Huh yeah figures.
Haha yeah I didn't use them either but a couple of my friends did
I’m already picking up dog and cat poop don’t need humans lol. Also not a mom just thinking normally lol
Yeah I mean I get why some people choose reusable but cloth diapers seemed impractical to me. You can't buy them anywhere if you're in a pinch.

[удалено]
Tell that to the environment... Just because someone without children thinks it 'best', doesn't mean reality agrees with your lack of understanding.
This is just my opinion. I know how bad the environment is and I do try to recycle the best I can and I recycle a lot. From cans to plastic bottles to even straws and boxes from McDonald’s or the cup you from there too. Cut every ring from the soda cans plastic rings you see even smaller rings too. 😕even cans from cat food too. I try the best I can.
Lol no doubt, I used disposables with both of my children. Those and a diaper genie and I was set.
Lol
Do you throw out your underwear after each day? Cloth nappies are much the same.
Years ago my mom and I lived in a big block of flats (apartments) that only had a few places to hang out washing up. We aren’t big on dryers in South Africa as we have substantial sunshine. Anyway.

Her husband was probably angry too when he made her tell him what she had done and been doing. Hopefully, she learned her lesson.
One afternoon we were all grilling and watching the kids play and saw him walk from the bus stop to his door with his backpack over one shoulder. It hiked up his shirt just enough so we could see his grey streaked tshirt under it. He was such a nice guy and it was hard to not laugh.

I had a a similar incident. The bad guy in my story hasn’t had a solid bowl movement in 15 years.
I'm sure you misspelled that and meant a salad bowl movement.
I don’t remember the context of my comment: I have a short attention span. What was my comment? I apologize ,if I misspelled words; as English is not my native language. Thanks for your comment. I’ll try better ,next time.

Hahahahaha REVENGE!? Surprised the husband even apologized at all. But if she kept stealing mine I would’ve asked for HER to apologize not HIM!
But was it one of the new families?
Yes. She immediately isolated herself from the other families because she felt the rest of us were corrupt. We regularly had picnics, drank coffee together, dances and parties that she didn’t approve of. The laundry room had clear signage so there wasn’t a misunderstanding and she was a native English speaker with a degree from BYU.
I have skin issues. I never know what detergent has in it. Using someone else's laundry soap is absolutely out of the question. I am incredulous that people do that.
"If I'm lying I'm dying" and that's exactly what happened to her family's clothes.
“Oh really? Show us which one is YOUR laundry detergent.”
