There was a thread on AITA Reddit asking if someone is an as*hole for threatening to kick their sister out of their apartment because she wouldn't stop washing her undies in his washing machine and he mentioned he washes no underwear in his machine. People on twitter were arguing about rather the sister should follow his rules or not and some others were making jokes about it by posting their inane rules about their washing machine or their vacuum as a joke. Someone brought up about this being cultural so that is why I made this thread. I am interested in UK life.
Maybe it's another culture to British?
Although which one? Not Scottish, English, Welsh, American or Polish, we know that much.
Tbh whatever culture it is sounds a bit dirty lol. Without a washing machine you're not getting stuff clean enough.
The
bulk of our family washing is undies. Esp mine and my stepdad's. It's the stuff that gets dirty every time you wear it. T shirts in summer do the same as well due to sweat.
My thoughts are either:
1 it's another culture to anyone who's replied yet
2 it's a made up story like a lot of AITA stories are
3 she didn't live with him full time and he took umbridge at her using his washing machine instead of going home and using her own. For eg I don't live with my granddad. When I get changed at his, I put my underwear in a travel bag & wash it when I get home. It would be cheeky for me to put his stuff in a washing machine* (Only exception is when our washing machine wasn't working and it was seen as a huge favour ). I can see that being a problem if someone is a guest and decides to use the washing machine.
* Is this cultural? Do other cultures visit people and use their washing machines like for eg we use the baths of people whose homes we visit?
