The bachelor laundry system is comprised of three sorted categories. Unlike the more common "female" system of, 1) Lights, 2) darks, and 3) delicates, The bachelor system uses the tried and true system of, 1)clean, 2) wearable, and 3) move With a Stick .

The "clean" pile is always still in the dryer, basket or dumped on the bed. They can't go in the dresser drawers because that's where we keep all the clothes that don't fit anymore. There is very
rarely more than a basket full because we wash clothes out of desperation at the last minute throwing in what we need to get us through the next day or two.

The "Wearable" pile is always at the foot of the bed where we step out of our clothes at night. After a couple of days on top of this pile some things magically gain the ability to get you through one more day in a pinch, Especially jeans. Care has to be taken though due to the compost pile nature of the bottom of this pile.

The dreaded "Move With a Stick" pile is usually at the far corner of the bedroom where we throw them to keep them separate from pile #2. This can be a long lasting pile because our favorite clothes seem to bypass this pile and make it to the wash more often.

The only time these two piles mix is when we hope or expect a woman to come over and we drag the whole mess to the laundry room, although this action is like a jinx on the night because
everyone knows you only get lucky when your unprepared, and we're shoving clothes Clean and dirty, in closets and under beds.

Come time to wash clothes we throw them all unsorted into the washer confident that a cold water wash will save the colors from bleeding into our whites. This is usually a foolproof system but it comes back to haunt you from time to time. Don't let anyone tell you that real men don't own pink socks and underwear !
