Notice: The Laundry Basket Has Office Hours

A home notice explains when the laundry basket is willing to accept clothes.

Level 2118 words2026.08.12

Notice to all family members: The laundry basket now has office hours.

Clean towels may be placed in the basket before 8:00 p.m. Socks may be placed in the basket at any time, but they must arrive in pairs.

The basket will not accept shirts thrown from the hallway. This is not because the basket is angry. It simply believes in basic respect.

If the basket is full, do not build a laundry mountain on top of it. Please start the washing machine or ask an adult who looks awake.

Lost socks can be reported on Saturday morning. The basket will listen, but it cannot promise results.

Thank you for helping the laundry area stay peaceful.
