Confession time
Nov. 15th, 2009 04:20 pmCan I confess something here? Something that will undoubtedly make the housekeepers of the world point at me and laugh like I'm some sort of freak and say things like "Ha! Those bachelors don't know anything about running a home!".
I can't tell the difference between laundry detergents.
Every time I get close to running out, I go to the store and stand in the aisle and look at the racks of dozens of types from a dozen brands, and absolutely cannot figure out what the difference is between them. I can never tell whether my current detergent is making my clothes smell like bottled sunshine (whatever that smells like), or mountain breeze, or fresh water, or even a flowered panorama that was probably stolen from a U-Haul truck. I can't tell that it was bottled high in the Alps by singing, dancing Austrian nuns. I just can't tell. All I care about is whether or not my clothes are clean, and I seriously can't tell one clean, stainless shirt from another. Is there something wrong with me?
Am I the only one who has this problem?
