Ehhh kinda? He falls from the roof and his body instantly disappears. Since Santa is a Christian icon I think most people just assume he got sent straight to heaven.
Right?! My orange LOVES a good pile of laundry, clean or dirty. Either it is warm and he gets to mess it up with his fur, or he has funky smells. Either way, he wins.
I had to get my clothes out on a quick work break the other day so my kid could wash his work clothes. Our fat ninja slid into my room and I said "Fine!!! Just please don't lay on the clean clothes!" And he soft meowep at me and made himself comfortable on the clean clothes. Hes too fancy for dirty clothes.
They used to have an entire built in system for this in homes that they have abandoned and I’m very much in favor of the laundry chute being reinstated.
My wife said we should install one so it goes straight into the washer. I had to explain to her the bathtub was in the way so it would have to be to the side of the washer and underneath our bed lol
Towells, and other heavy duty or textured fabrics are washed together.
As are extremely soiled or stinky items, cleaning rags, etc.
Regular clothes are separated into lights/darks and delicates.
I always launder my clothes as gently as possible, wash/dry cycles can put a lot of wear and tear on the more delicate fabrics.
This is what I do and my clothes look great for many years. I'm picky about what I think looks good on me so I take the extra couple of steps. Really not that hard!
I got so tired of ruining clothes, I basically stopped drying anything other than towels and linens. Most anything I wear is hung to dry.
Of course, it's always the expensive things that are destroyed. It's never the free promotional t-shirt that is accidently shrunk, it's the expensive designer top that is inexplicably destroyed by a single wash. It's amazing how much longevity I've gotten out of my clothes when I started treating them a bit more gently.
You can still have them with modern codes last I heard too, it's just that they're now limited to going down 1 floor whereas before you could have a chute from the 2nd floor all the way down to the basement.
They all have that. The problem is embers coming up the Wall Chimney and lighting the inside of the wall on fire. That’s part of why they are so dangerous. It’s not just spreading fire, it’s doing so invisibly.
Just sold a house with a laundry shoot. We had to rig it with a hat hatch door so it would pass because of the fire concerns. Same with the floor vents.
We used to pass my brother through it all the time. I’m pretty sure it was a homemade one. It was under the sink and was quite wide. No chance of a toddler getting stuck.
It dropped right in front of a door that swung out so what was really fun was dumping a huge pile of clothes down it when you knew someone was in the bathroom essentially trapping them inside.
Massive fire hazard according to somebody I know that does insurance inspections for fires specifically. You can install them with fire-rated materials and self-closing doors, but basically having a tunnel of air going from one level of your home to the other makes it much more likely that what may have been a small fire, could be absolutely devastating to your home. He said the same of air exchangers (specifically mini splits).
I have a laundry chute in my mid 70's home, but it's on the 2nd floor. When im in the kitchen and swapping out my towels, I throw them down the basement stairs just like what is pictured.
I grew up in a house with a chute and I did the same thing. Basement stairs were off the kitchen and we would all throw stuff down them lol. I wouldn’t be bothered by this but I can see why someone would be.
We had one of these. Before reliable stick vacuums like Dyson, they were amazing. It was a hose you'd plug into an outlet in each room, and the vacuum cleaner (vacuum motor elsewhere) would activate. It means you didn't have to pull the vacuum motor unit around on the floor. Now, due to the advanced state of stick vacuums, I think they're not really necessary.
It’s funny. The trend now seems to be “just put the laundry machines on the second floor where the closets are.” Which, actually, is better than a system where you drop them into the basement and carry them back up, especially considering they make emergency drip trays that drain the water to plumbing in the event of a leak.
I lived in a house growing up with laundry machines in a closet on the second floor. I had no idea how nice that was until I developed a lot of health issues as an adult and getting the laundry up and down the stairs has become the bane of my existence.
You can always tell a healthy couple because they bitch on Reddit for easy karma instead of either being adults or finding a fun and/or lateral solution to their problem. /s
I mean I don't think the fiance cares, they're just one of those people who don't view piles of clothes as a mess. I don't really either, but I'm not a tidy person to begin with
This is exactly how I did it before I moved out of my place with built in laundry. I'm not doing a full load, I'm not walking all the way down the stairs. There is no difference to me between keeping my dirty clothes in a pile in my bedroom versus a pile in the basement. I actually prefer the pile where I'm not hanging out all the time
I'm the opposite, I prefer to have the pile of clothes where I spend more time in so that I'm constantly reminded of when there's enough clothes for a full load
My household had this system - three kids with varying flavors of ADHD were never all going to be meticulous about dealing with their laundry, so a laundry basket was placed in our basement boiler room, and the kids threw their dirty clothes into it via a trapdoor at the bottom of the airing cupboard next to the bathroom. Worked well.
Exactly. I do this and im in a split level, not even a full set of stairs. Go down and wash laundry when basket is full. No sense in make more trips than necessary.
The cat only cares that their humans have provided them a new bed. I'd leave the clothes right where they are and only wash mine. Let the cat enjoy their bed.
I don't understand the whole process. You walk downstairs to put clothes directly in the laundry? Like every, or even multiple times a day? I don't even acknowledge the washers existence until late Sunday morning.
Yeah, I'm on team fiance here. Why the hell waste a trip down the stairs until it's actually time to do the laundry or at least until there's some other reason you need to go downstairs and you can grab it while you're already down there?
If I'm reading this logically, are you implying that you (OP) walk each day's set of dirty clothes down into the basement and put them into the machine? Where they sit until it's full enough to do a load? Is this your system? Because that is insanity. I agree with everyone else, put your laundry basket right where the pile is and the problem is solved.
This was the system when I was growing up. 2 floors plus basement, where the washer lived, so a lot of stairs. There were laundry baskets for the bedrooms, but other stuff like kitchen towels and dad’s work clothes that weren’t near a proper basket would get chucked down to the basement landing.
Whoever went down there next just picked it up on the way down and put it in the main basket by the washer, because nobody was bothering going down 15 steps and back up over a single towel.
Yeah, OP's system sounds insane. Every bedroom should have a dirty clothes hamper, plus smaller hampers in the bathrooms and kitchen for towels and washcloths. Once a hamper is full, you take it downstairs and wash the contents. If you have lots of people and/or dirty clothes regularly, you collect all the hampers on laundry day each week or whatever and wash everything then. I never even considered that someone would do anything differently from this.
Who tf puts there clothes in the machine one by one, mf you put a basket there and once its full then you put it in the machine. I ain't walking my ass up and down those stairs to put a sock in the washer
This brings up an interesting point. Who is actually “doing” the laundry i.e. switching the load of clothes to the dryer and folding or hanging them after because if it’s her, he has less of a leg to stand on.
Yeah, I do the laundry in my house and my husband thinks he's being helpful by putting loose items in the washing machine, awaiting the next cycle. But different loads get different temps and add-ins like bleach or vinegar for specific purposes. I'd rather the machine stay empty and have a pile nearby on the floor.
But it's not like he'd get mad at me for ruining an article of clothing accidentally, so it's a pretty low stakes situation.
I throw everything down the basement stairs and then collect it when I go down there. No sense in going up and down the stairs for every little thing if it can survive a toss.
Yeah I do this daily. If I don’t need to go to the basement at that time I just throw it. But I need to go down there every day to clean the cat littler so the clothes gets picked up at some point that day either way.
There’s never more than a few items on the floor
Right. I did this when we lived in a townhome as I was afraid of falling while carrying the clothes downstairs. I would throw them down and then walk down, pick them up and take them to the washer.
I have really bad arthritis flair ups in my knees so I toss my load of laundry down the stairs so I can hold the railing then pick them up at the bottom. I see nothing wrong here if that’s the process.
That's the safest thing to do rather than risk tripping over it as you carry it down. I throw it down the stairs all the time and pick it up from the bottom almost immediately
I do something similar. I don't know about your fiance but when I spend my day cleaning, cooking, running up and down those stairs for other things a million times...the last thing I want to do is run down there again for a couple of articles of clothing or a few towels. So I toss them over. And there will usually always be a reason I end up having to run down those stairs again for something. So I pick them up and throw them in the machine as I go by. It is just a bit of time saving in an already busy day. Two trips for the price of one.
Why is that mildly infuriating? She’s throwing it down there instead of carrying it down, and picks it up to wash it later. Or does she leave it down there forever? If it bothers you, you pick it up. Put a laundry basket right there. Make it easier for her. Choose your battles, grow up and make things better.
My wife did the same thing when we moved into a new place - Drove me nuts……Eventually I got tired of going down there myself and started throwing the laundry down as well - My wife was just ahead of the curve…
If you are airing your issues out here, do not get married. The 1st and only person you should be talking with. Is the person you are in a relationship with
Yeah, that's pretty normal. If you're going to go down and put it in the machine soon, you just toss it down and then you don't have to walk up and down the stairs so much.
Looks like she fell down the stairs and got raptured
like santa claus
tf you mean "like santa claus"???
From the movie The Santa Clause 1994
that man caused Santas death
By killing Santa, he becomes Santa. Such is the Curse of The Santa Clause.
Part of the ship, part of the crew
One of us, one of us
The Flying Dutchman must have a captain.
The Flying Sled must always have Santa.
They mean like The Santa Clause :p
Pardon me being dumb, it's been a minute since I saw that movie, but Santa went and got himself raptured in it??
Ehhh kinda? He falls from the roof and his body instantly disappears. Since Santa is a Christian icon I think most people just assume he got sent straight to heaven.
It was like a jedi death
"If you strike me down, I shall become more jolly than you can even imagine."
Oh no, you’ve haven’t heard?
🫢
LOLLL
This whole exchange was so fucking hilarious AND seasonally appropriate.
HAHAHA, laughing out loud to myself like a crazy person. Maybe it helps I knew what they meant.
or she got absorbed by Cell from Dragon Ball Z
This guys girl fell down the stairs and hit the sun and went the way of Kristen Dunst from Interview with a Vampire.
“Fell,” according to Newt, who is innocent until proven guilty.
My exact thought. Imagine getting raptured while falling down the stairs
What a roller coaster of a Dateline episode that would be.
Pfff lol

Newt: “are you going to do something about this?”
More like "wanna lay on the clothes with me?"
Right?! My orange LOVES a good pile of laundry, clean or dirty. Either it is warm and he gets to mess it up with his fur, or he has funky smells. Either way, he wins.
we have four cats at home
they take turns rolling around on the folded clothes
I had to get my clothes out on a quick work break the other day so my kid could wash his work clothes. Our fat ninja slid into my room and I said "Fine!!! Just please don't lay on the clean clothes!" And he soft meowep at me and made himself comfortable on the clean clothes. Hes too fancy for dirty clothes.
I woke up one morning and found the white cat balanced on a tall pile of clean laundry, smugly shedding white fur on my clean black work pants.
"Look at me, Brian. Look at me. Who told you she wasn't the one?"
“I told you not to bring her home, Kyle!”
interestingly enough, my cat would use the pile as a bed 🤣
“Fiancé. You still have options, Kyle”
They used to have an entire built in system for this in homes that they have abandoned and I’m very much in favor of the laundry chute being reinstated.
Same. My ex sawed a hole in the bathroom closet floor thinking it would be a rudimentary laundry chute. Turns out a duct was in the way. 🤣
My wife said we should install one so it goes straight into the washer. I had to explain to her the bathtub was in the way so it would have to be to the side of the washer and underneath our bed lol
In the house I was born in the laundry shute dropped clothes directly into the washer, it was incredible. Not an old build either, this was in 2000
a nightmare for clothes sorting though. This would drive me crazy.
You sort your clothes?
No, but like, in theory
I call it survival of the laundriest
Some days it does feel like this.
Sorting clothes is no longer necessary with modern detergent
Or so I’ve been told
I've also been told this and choose to believe it regardless of its veracity.
Not dish washer safe? We’ll find out. Either you survive this cycle or get the fuck out my kitchen.
Handwash only? What am I, somebody with free time and no washing machine?
https://preview.redd.it/10j516fe4b6g1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08497ea127c42751645654d7a9d7d5446f2f0242
Dry clean only? A hoax cooked up by Big Martinizing. Into the washer you go.
Towells, and other heavy duty or textured fabrics are washed together.
As are extremely soiled or stinky items, cleaning rags, etc.
Regular clothes are separated into lights/darks and delicates.
I always launder my clothes as gently as possible, wash/dry cycles can put a lot of wear and tear on the more delicate fabrics.

I got so tired of ruining clothes, I basically stopped drying anything other than towels and linens. Most anything I wear is hung to dry.
Of course, it's always the expensive things that are destroyed. It's never the free promotional t-shirt that is accidently shrunk, it's the expensive designer top that is inexplicably destroyed by a single wash. It's amazing how much longevity I've gotten out of my clothes when I started treating them a bit more gently.
Haha, not true (from someone who colored an entire load of whites with a single new dark sock.)
Look at the fancy pants on this one. Probably because you actually sort your laundry instead of just throwing everything in like a gremlin.
You'd have to leave the washer open, and your clothes would not be sorted. So it might not be the convenience that it seems.
You should always leave your washer open when not in use anyway to prevent mildew.
Unless you have a cat.
I have had cats my entire life and never once has one gotten in the washer.
I do worry about the dryer and never leave the dryer open.
Mine gets into my washer on a regular basis. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
idk man. seems like it’d be a top tier nap spot if i were a cat.
My cat loved to lie in a pile of laundry. She would purr, close her eyes and blissfully knead on it with her paws.
Is he by chance orange?
Neither of mine have ever showed interest in either washer or dryer. I leave my top loading washer open but always, always keep the dryer closed.
If all you wear is black t-shirts, the sorting isn’t an issue!
While an awesome suggestion, not every situation calls for black shirt Winnie the Pooh’ing.
You’re still sorting your clothes in 2025?!
Better than a duck being in the way. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get ducks out of your walls?
I give him an A for effort. Good idea.
[deleted]
Good to know. This is a good reason not to have a laundry chute.
As someone who used to have a laundry chute, the risk is worth it.
Yep, they can pry mine from my fried, crispy hands.
You can still have them with modern codes last I heard too, it's just that they're now limited to going down 1 floor whereas before you could have a chute from the 2nd floor all the way down to the basement.
You bring up a good point, I wonder why it's not as common anymore for houses that have the hookups in the basement?
Probably child safety concerns. Those chutes are very tempting slides when you’re a stupid kid.
Yes… of course.. only a stupid kid would find that tempting… of course…
I definitely sent my friend down one with a rope tied to her waist…I was not strong enough to lower her down lol
My brother and I didn’t even use the rope. We just yeeted our other brother down the chute 😂😂
🙋♀️ Stupid kid reporting in
Me too
T'was but a scratch. We all knew to go feet first.
Speaking from experience… I was that stupid kid.
fire safety, its a tunnel to open air
Mine has a door that shuts. It's metal with a gasket
They all have that. The problem is embers coming up the Wall Chimney and lighting the inside of the wall on fire. That’s part of why they are so dangerous. It’s not just spreading fire, it’s doing so invisibly.
I thought they were lined with metal?
They can be made in a way that passes fire code.
Just sold a house with a laundry shoot. We had to rig it with a hat hatch door so it would pass because of the fire concerns. Same with the floor vents.
mine has a door that closes on the bottom so it acts as a hamper and also a door on the top
A friend of mine’s house had one built to fit and withstand a child sliding. It was a fun thing to do at her house.
We used to pass my brother through it all the time. I’m pretty sure it was a homemade one. It was under the sink and was quite wide. No chance of a toddler getting stuck.
It dropped right in front of a door that swung out so what was really fun was dumping a huge pile of clothes down it when you knew someone was in the bathroom essentially trapping them inside.
My grandmas house had one from the second floor to the concrete floor of the basement. You were in for a world of hurt if you didn’t pad the landing.
The one in my husband's grandparents house was way too small for a kid. It was hard to get the jeans through the door. Still phenomenal to have.
Our house has the laundry on the top floor so problem solved :).
Massive fire hazard according to somebody I know that does insurance inspections for fires specifically.

Fire issue I'm pretty sure
I have a laundry chute in my mid 70's home, but it's on the 2nd floor. When im in the kitchen and swapping out my towels, I throw them down the basement stairs just like what is pictured.

While we're at it. Lets bring back the dumbwaiter and central vacuum.

We love our laundry chute. And we have a central vacuum!
central vacuum??? tell me more
We had one of these. Before reliable stick vacuums like Dyson, they were amazing. It was a hose you'd plug into an outlet in each room, and the vacuum cleaner (vacuum motor elsewhere) would activate. It means you didn't have to pull the vacuum motor unit around on the floor. Now, due to the advanced state of stick vacuums, I think they're not really necessary.
It’s funny. The trend now seems to be “just put the laundry machines on the second floor where the closets are.” Which, actually, is better than a system where you drop them into the basement and carry them back up, especially considering they make emergency drip trays that drain the water to plumbing in the event of a leak.
I lived in a house growing up with laundry machines in a closet on the second floor. I had no idea how nice that was until I developed a lot of health issues as an adult and getting the laundry up and down the stairs has become the bane of my existence.
Reinstate all the old building standards… one refrigerator for an entire lifetime sounds amazing. So does metal appliance holders.
Shouldn't have proposed to a friggin cat
Will you meowy me?
Put a laundry basket right there.
With a hoop 🏀
With a buzzer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And a scoreboard
She shoots, she scores!
Airball…of socks
Bricking them jeans
“KOBE!”
I’m 35 and still yell this every single time.
Also 35 and still do this, but if I miss i say "Ah Shaq!"
ditto, and then followed by "RIP"
Mildly infuriating that neither of them even thought of this.
You can always tell a healthy couple because they bitch on Reddit for easy karma instead of either being adults or finding a fun and/or lateral solution to their problem. /s
I mean I don't think the fiance cares, they're just one of those people who don't view piles of clothes as a mess. I don't really either, but I'm not a tidy person to begin with

Exactly. I do this and im in a split level, not even a full set of stairs. Go down and wash laundry when basket is full. No sense in make more trips than necessary.
Cat: you seein this shit?
The cat is judging.
When your cat looks that disgusted, you know you have gone very wrong somewhere.
Or you have a cat...
Cats just be like that.
The cat made this post
This gave me a good chuckle.
That's just a cat's natural state.

I'd have suggested a laundry basket and carrying it down once it's full.
But I can't say a thing because I throw stuff up into my loft because I think it's haunted.
I have a fabric laundry basket and I just toss the whole thing down on laundry day. I don't get carrying it down.
Holy shit I do the same 😂 it’s so aggressive. You know it’s laundry day when you hear “thump thump thump” from me tossing that bitch down the stairs
Lol I've gotten pretty good at the toss so I just have one huge thump.
If I'm reading this logically, are you implying that you (OP) walk each day's set of dirty clothes down into the basement and put them into the machine? Where they sit until it's full enough to do a load? Is this your system? Because that is insanity.

Same exact setup right now. I just tossed a towel down the basement landing last night. AMA
Not towel related, but what's your favorite dinosaur?
Same. Seems normal to me.
This right here. I'm with OP's wife.
Yeah, OP's system sounds insane. Every bedroom should have a dirty clothes hamper, plus smaller hampers in the bathrooms and kitchen for towels and washcloths. Once a hamper is full, you take it downstairs and wash the contents. If you have lots of people and/or dirty clothes regularly, you collect all the hampers on laundry day each week or whatever and wash everything then. I never even considered that someone would do anything differently from this.
Who tf puts there clothes in the machine one by one, mf you put a basket there and once its full then you put it in the machine. I ain't walking my ass up and down those stairs to put a sock in the washer
Op is revealing they’ve never done laundry before
This brings up an interesting point. Who is actually “doing” the laundry i.e. switching the load of clothes to the dryer and folding or hanging them after because if it’s her, he has less of a leg to stand on.
Yeah, I do the laundry in my house and my husband thinks he's being helpful by putting loose items in the washing machine, awaiting the next cycle.

But it's not like he'd get mad at me for ruining an article of clothing accidentally, so it's a pretty low stakes situation.
I do this too. Oh no.
My husband and I do this regularly. It’s easier than awkwardly carrying all the items with no view of the steps!
Good news, it's perfectly fine.
Nothing wrong with that if it's dealt with quickly. Unless you're like my depressed ass and it builds up for a week maybe 3.
If the basement isn't being used otherwise I can see doing this to collect laundry down there until laundry day but I'm also a slob
I throw everything down the basement stairs and then collect it when I go down there. No sense in going up and down the stairs for every little thing if it can survive a toss.
Out of sight = out of mind
3 weeks? Thats rookie numbers
Ranked depression, how can I level up? Academic stress helped me a lot but I feel like it could grow even stronger
The trick is to get everything you wanted and then just worry about losing it
Is she leaving it on the floor there? Or just tossing it rather than carrying it?
Because letting gravity do the work sounds better than carrying it down the stairs to me 🤷♂️
Is it picked up right away? Cause I think that’s genius lol
Yeah I do this daily. If I don’t need to go to the basement at that time I just throw it. But I need to go down there every day to clean the cat littler so the clothes gets picked up at some point that day either way. There’s never more than a few items on the floor
I do it every morning after I wake-up. Take off PJs, kick them down the stairs and use bathroom/shower. Then collect them when I go downstairs.
Right. I did this when we lived in a townhome as I was afraid of falling while carrying the clothes downstairs. I would throw them down and then walk down, pick them up and take them to the washer.
Work smarter, not harder.
As long as she picks it up directly after im on her side tbh.
Same. I did this on laundry days or when I was cleaning up. It's just laun6. It's not like it's going to break.
I wish I could have done this with the dozens of glasses and soda cans my (former) partner left in his office.
I have really bad arthritis flair ups in my knees so I toss my load of laundry down the stairs so I can hold the railing then pick them up at the bottom. I see nothing wrong here if that’s the process.
I do literally the exact same thing but for nerve pain. I physically can’t lug the laundry basket up and down the stairs.
I feel like it's safer than blocking your view with a basket or armful of clothes when you walk down the stairs also
Yea? So do I and pick it up when I go downstairs next.
Put a hamper there.... turn it into a game.
Also, financee has two e's for a woman.
pls god can we create a separate sub for people bitching about their significant other’s behavior instead of, i dunno, talking to them about it?
Do you find it…”mildly infuriating”?
But that won't get you meaningless social media points.
we do the same at my house. it makes things easier. offer to carry the basket down if you don’t like it
Nice cat
:D
That's the safest thing to do rather than risk tripping over it as you carry it down. I throw it down the stairs all the time and pick it up from the bottom almost immediately
the floor is the largest (temporary of course) shelf in the house. And she's usin' it
Laundry basket? Put one at the bottom of the stairs and turn it into a competition.
I do something similar. I don't know about your fiance but when I spend my day cleaning, cooking, running up and down those stairs for other things a million times...the last thing I want to do is run down there again for a couple of articles of clothing or a few towels. So I toss them over. And there will usually always be a reason I end up having to run down those stairs again for something. So I pick them up and throw them in the machine as I go by. It is just a bit of time saving in an already busy day. Two trips for the price of one.
