This is really making me rage. Every time I dry or wash my clothing, there is lint all the fuck over it. We use one of those lint catcher things, and apparently it gets emptied every time, but I always end up with lint on my fucking clothes. What the fuck.
Help?

Hmmm, are you washing your clothes with towels? or anything like that?

If you still get them, you can always use one of those lint roller brushes.

Yeah. Is that bad?

Yeah, don't do that.
You're only supposed to wash "likes" together. So towels with towels, and regular clothes with clothes (By color & material).

A ten-day-old baby girl died after being placed in a washing machine as it went through an entire spin cycle.
The newborn's mother Lyndsey Fiddler put her daughter into the washing machine along with a pile of laundry.

^ How is that related to lint on the clothing?
And, if my clothes are washed with towels for some reason, I rage.
Stop washing your clothes with towels, and your lint problem will be solved!

I've never had that problem with washing my towels with clothes.

Really? Do you hang your clothes to dry or put them in the dryer?

I put them in a dryer. Whenever I wash the shit in my gym bag, I throw in whatever towels I have in there too, and I can't say I've ever had that happen.

Hmmm, well depending on the clothing you wear to the gym, I mean if you're wearing basketball shorts, how often have those EVER gotten lint? :P
Or maybe your lint trap works better than his. :P

I don't think it's such a good idea to wash towels with regular clothes, like I wouldn't put a plush rug in with my regular clothes. Most likely in your case if you wash the lint catcher should be cleaned out more thoroughly and separate your clothes better. How I do laundry is like this.
1.)Blacks
2.)Brights. Though sometimes I separate my reds because red can leak more.
3.)Whites/ bleach with sox and white towels.
4.)Towels and other
I wash them separately, yes, it does take a lot longer to get my laundry done but my clothes are still bright and have no lint. Hopefully, if you end up trying something like this or similar, it gets better :)

I don't know Autumn. My stuff is varied. Maybe its the type of towel? And I wouldn't put that stuff in with my clothes, Goosey. :P
