Doing the laundry

I am bummed at how unhelpful/ sarcastic/ simply rude comments there are.
Some of you guys are pretty funny and mean well.
But OP, I'd just forget pretty much this whole mess and move on.
I gave her a real number. 5 minutes of carrying something heavy ~25 calories. It ain't much (just like everybody is saying), but she seemed like she wanted a number.0 -
^Part of the reason people are wary of the forums. A simple "zero" would suffice. Rude.0

Is this real? Lol
Household chores don't count as exercise. Sorry.0 -

I wear my socks and bras longer than any civilized human should. Almost no shame.
Who only wears them once?
I dunno, man. Same with the people who wash jeans after one wearing. Ain't nobody got time for that!
Yea, that makes no sense. It takes 2 or 3 wearing a before they feel great after washing them. Oh wait, what am I talking about, there have been almost 60 days in 2015 so far an I've worn jeans on 2 times.
In sweat pants everyday crew checking in.

Perception. I personally think people went out of their way to give good advice. Some might not have been wrapped with a pretty bow, but giving honest answers isn't rude or mean.0 -

my ex used to see boxers as a change weekly item of clothing cos he showered twice a day he figured they wernt getting dirty
he changed to wearing a new pair daily when i bought him 10 new pairs and told him he wasnt coming near me until i did a wash load containing at least 7 worn pairs
