Friday Confession: Laundry

I have this thing when I do laundry. I pour the laundry detergent and fabric softener. After selecting the cycle and start washing I HAVE TO clean the plastic cup you use to pour the detergent. I mean, I HAVE TO. I cannot let the cup there with detergent residue. It's a compulsion and I realize it's silly, but still.

When the time comes to fold and hang clothes, I have the hangers issue. We have maybe 3 types of hangers: plastic, wooden and those cheap crappy metal ones (the ones they give you when you take clothes to the dry cleaners). So I have this "rule". I cannot use a wooden one for certain types of clothes, like t-shirts. I use them for pants, blouses, dress shirts. So obviously I spend more time doing laundry than I need to simply because I make so many rules and "have to's" that it actually becomes a task where I need to think instead of it being automatic.
