Laundry actually has three stages:

1. Clean
2. Dirty
3. The Chair

Just a neutral territory where clothes go to think about what they've done.

@fribbledom Don’t forget:

4. forgot in the washing machine
5. indefinite stay on drying rack / forgot for weeks in the laundry room

There's also a difference between "clean and dry" and "clean and wet or damp"
@fribbledom The more affluent might upgrade their Chair to a Treadmill, but the premise remains the same.

@inanedirk @fribbledom Last week I got a clean T-shirt from the dresser, but before putting it on decided to wear something else, and put the T-shirt on the Chair, so it should

@fribbledom Isn't it 1, 3, 2? The Chair is for clothes which aren't clean any more but aren't yet dirty.
