Should we all just go back to the old days when we washed our clothes in rivers and streams?
By the looks of the photos you’re about to see, I think that might not be the worst idea in the world.
We’ve all had our laundry mishaps during our lives and that’s why these photos are going to make you cringe in a big way. Because you can feel them DOWN IN YOUR BONES.
So let’s all say a special prayer for these people as they continue their journey to laundry perfection…we all know it can be a long and dangerous road.

How about you?
What’s your worst laundry disaster? I’m talking about the REALLY BAD ones that made you shake your head in disgust?
Tell us all about them in the comments! Thanks!

And these 16 images are going to bring it all rushing back.
That’s how clowns suck you in.

I bet this ashtray would go for big bucks on Ebay, though.

I bet our parents loved seeing us in there.

And they were so mad when we inevitably broke them.

I can still feel the yearning all these years later.

You will not change my mind on this.

Too like Roger Rabbit.

It wasn’t because it took too long to get our food, that’s for sure.
Image Credit: Cheezburger
And nobody even knew what that meant.

I could never get them all, though. Which was probably by design.

And those twists, man. Those were the stuff.

Ahhh, can you smell the nostalgia? I can!
