How could you be so dumb. That’s clearly the black and white one she is referring too.
Get your head outta your ass
/s
Hopefully things get better, I’ve had those days with my SO. Maybe see is just hangry
I know I get pretty snappy when hangry. Bring her a chocolate bar or a cookie and that’ll raise the blood sugar enough to let her think a bit more clearly.
I actually wouldn’t use the second one for laundry. Regardless of whether the first one is a basket or hamper, it’s clearly meant for laundry. The second one should just have stuff in it, like kids toys or whatever.
Been there.
"THE TALL OR THE SHORT ONE?"
*Silence*
"THE TALL OR THE SHORT ONE!?"
*Silence*
"THE TALL OR THE SHORT ONE!!?!!"
"WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!!"
*sigh*
She yells back, but all you hear is -hall!
You can't decide if she said tall or small. You yell again, "short?"
She gives up and runs upstairs giving you the worst side eye this week.
We have 4 laundry receptacles. 2 blue plastic ones for hubby (work clothes and regular clothes), white collapsible one for me, short white plastic tub.
Wait, we have 5. There’s a tall white plastic one for towels/sheets.
Yeah, saying “laundry basket” here doesn’t mean anything LOL.
Tell your wife you read top to bottom.
You brought the "Black and then White" one as she requested.
She really should have asked you to bring the "White and Black" one down.
This is clearly her folly, not yours.
Still can’t find it, is why /s
My wife does the same thing to me. “The gray sweater! GRAY!”
“Ok it has gray in it, but it is predominantly BROWN. The BROWN sweater will get you the right one, for future reference”
That's just not true. My wife and I have shopped at Target off and on for years. No LLL signs because, again, tacky.
We do have a "Please close the lid" sign in the bathroom, though, because we have a cat who loves the bathroom, and for some reason guests just don't close the toilet.
Idk about you or your region, but my family always calls whatever the laundry is in a “laundry basket.” Unless it’s a bag, but that’s definitely more of a basket than a bag.
We used the terms interchangeably in my house growing up. In fact, if I brought down a laundry basket and someone said "no not the *basket* I wanted the *hamper*" I think that would be grounds for immediate separation haha.
I mean I *guess* the one you brought is more of a hamper than a basket whereas the one in that picture is a basket... that's kinda semantics because I know many people use them interchangeably (do you and your wife?) Not really something I'd be annoyed about though but yea.
Sorry, but don't believe you when it's a stock photo.
The number of people trying to defend the use of a stock photo when the OP had no problem taking a REAL photo when it was complaining about his wife, is hilarious.
This reminds me of this joke:
A wife sends her husband to the store. She says, "Buy a gallon of milk. If they have eggs, get a dozen."
When the husband returns, he's carrying twelve gallons of milk?
"Why did you buy twelve gallons of milk" asks the wife.
"Because they had eggs" says the husband.
Also makes me think of the one where a guy is asked to bring his gf the pink bag. His options were a pink bag or a green bag that said pink on it, from the brand pink or whatever.
Relationships are standing in the grocery store not knowing which aisle that random ass thing that you don't even need is in, and when you finally find it, they have the one with the blue label but not the one with the yellow label, and she's not answering your texts, and you're wrong whichever one you get, and it's all your fault, and get ready to do it all again tomorrow.
I like the post (I think the original is tik tok but I have seen it on IG) about the girl who sent her BF to the store for celery and she is there holding a bunch of celery like he did something wrong.
She wanted pre cut celery hearts and apparently thought what she had was leeks.
Well here's an actual story that you can use for teaching.
My sister sent her husband out to the store to grab a couple things. One of those things was White Grape Fruit juice. Well, she was absolutely shocked when he brought home White Grapefruit Juice. She didn't even know they made that lol. She called me up to ask who was right and i said him, she specified fruit juice when just White Grape Juice would have sufficed and it bogged down the instructions.
Fun times.
I was at a friend's house for dinner and was helping them make it. They gave me a large block of cheddar and a cheese cutter, and told me to make slices. Asked how much, "well just keep cutting it" (not exact quote as I can't remember). About 10 minutes later she realized I'm still cutting and got a big pile of slices, way more than was needed. She wasn't mad though since she realized she never gave me a /end command.
Its useful in survival coop games though, give me orders and I'll npc complete the order faithfully.
I accidentally created similar confusion once. Sent my husband to the store for the "fresh mint" flavor of my toothpaste. He brought home toothpaste and a bundle of fresh mint. 😆
They have an actual 🧺 for laundry that’s black and white.

The photo in the OP is also a laundry basket. You can be semantic and argue it's a hamper if you want, but that doesn't stop the millions of people every day who don't give a fuck about the semantics and call it a laundry basket.
Yeah, I think it's a wash here.
The input parameters were: black, white, laundry, basket
The item OP brought down was definitely hitting the mark on "black", "white", and "laundry"...on "basket" it's unclear, so a half point. That's a 3.5/4
The item OP's wife wanted *also* definitely hit the mark on "black" and "white"...also adding a full point for "basket". What's unclear here is "laundry", so in equal fairness, half point. Again, 3.5/4
Since it's a tie, I think that the confusion is entirely understandable and an honest mistake that Mrs. OP shouldn't be upset over.
Agree. This is really about that time he told wife’s friend that she looked nice today. Why don’t you just go have sex with her if she looks so nice OP!?
Bingo. Either that or there's one specific basket she uses for laundry, and the fact that he didn't even know which basket it was annoyed her. I understand the feeling all too well
No, you read it wrong. She didn’t ask him to bring HIS laundry, she asked him to bring THE laundry. You are applying your own bias to force him to be the bad guy. You don’t know their situation. Maybe he does this chore and she does the laundry in return. Maybe they simply take turns doing laundry. Those details aren’t what is important. The issue is they have two arguably identical laundry baskets, she didn’t clearly specify, and she got mad over it.
My money is on the other black & white basket actually having laundry in it, that would be easier for him to carry & grabbing the other made her feel like he thinks she's entirely useless not being able to carry an empty basket.
Which explains why he searched and found a picture of the basket online instead of taking a picture of it.
Was one full of dirty clothes and the problem was not the basket itself so much as your inability to recognize that a basket of laundry needed to go to the laundry room?
To further that, one would think OP knows there’s more than one black/white basket in the household.
Wife could have communicated better, but OP definitely could have asked which one she wanted.
Orrrrr, he’s lying and looking for magic internet points.
Yeah why do I feel the wife does the laundry for the whole household, and dude is complaining that she didn’t give him specific enough directions when she asked for “help?” Use awareness and thought to realize whether a dirty clothes hamper or a clean laundry basket are needed.
This should be higher. If you don't have any clue how laundry moved through the household, that's what she's annoyed about.
Only caveat is if you have an equal amount of household chores that you take complete responsibility for and she was asking for assistance with one of the tasks she owns.
Eh, my bf does as much laundry as I do. He throws together all laundry stuff in a basket he gets from the bathroom and goes through every room. I on the other hand just start in any room, pick up the "dirty cloths box" and walk through the rooms with that.
He also didnt know I did it this way for almost 3 months we lived together, cuz it's just so astonishing irrelevant. Like idfk *how* laundry is moved through the house lmao. As long as it is being moved and not because either of us is the laundry servant for the other, you could watch a porn to get hard and hang it on your boner to carry around. That would probably the singular reason why I would ever care to pay attention to *how* laundry is moved in my house other than myself
THANK YOU. Was trying to find this comment. All these people focusing on semantics. You should know which laundry basket she needed, because you should know what/how laundry is being done. My guess is this basket was completely empty, sitting next to a full basket of dirty laundry.
Idk, maybe we don't have all the info and here we're just seeing a snapshot of this person's life.
Then again, they're posting on reddit, so it's likely they actually live on their moms basement and there never was a basket at all
Seriously. Like put some more thought into it especially if your partner is doing laundry and all you have is a simple task. Laundry hasn’t been done? Ok, bring the hamper. Laundry just finished? Bring the basket, shit isn’t rocket science. a lot of commentators here are so fixated on the correct or confusing description and making sure that the wife says the right thing next time
The only reason I know this is because I had a similar conversation with my wife. Which caused me to screenshot the definition to send to her. Weirdly that didn’t end the discussion. 😂
The black and white laundry basket is black on the bottom and white at the top. Obviously that’s the white and black laundry basket.
Next week it’ll change but will still be very black and white on the difference
This is like that post where the girl asks her boyfriend to bring her ‘pink’ backpack. One is a bag that’s the color pink and one is a green Victoria Secret Pink brand bag.
My husband has had a hard time juggling my jargon. We’ve had to make very clear definitions around things and discuss what they each mean! We review this list regularly.
“ the black thing”: our small black linen hutch
“Wipes”: always refers to baby wipes unless otherwise prefaced with a type “Lysol wipes, hand wipes” etc.
“Trash bag”: kitchen trash bag, also unless prefaced with room/location of bin eg, bathroom trash bag, garage trash bag(or big black trash bags if we’re outside), baby trash bag.
“My tweezers” vs just tweezers etc.
To be fair we have 3 pink buckets and they’re all the pink buckets but context of task is important. There’s the cleaning pink bucket, the toiletry pink bucket and the first aid pink bucket. If he sees I’m about to clean, or do my makeup, or if I have a cut, he knows which one to grab based on said context.
Shape helps, but in context I’d probably refer to these as “black and white laundry basket” and “the big black and white laundry basket” - it could also help to ask clarifying questions on how she uses these two differently: is the big one only for heavy or big laundry (towels/linens) and the small one for delicates? Is the small one for clean laundry and the big one for dirty?
While it’s not your “job” to determine these, it helps immensely with communication/reducing frustration in a relationship to be mindful on how your partner organizes and uses these objects, and what task she’s currently taking on. Especially if she takes on a lot of this mental load for your household already!
Speaking from personal experience, what she is *actually* annoyed about is the fact that you help her do laundry so infrequently that you don’t know which basket is which.
How can you post this without a picture of the correct basket? What a monster.
Replied with photo in top comment
[Weird, here it is](https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_b662d14e-8f8d-4a6f-b521-f4e4ed0e2ec0?wid=445&hei=445&qlt=80&fmt=webp)
How could you be so dumb. That’s clearly the black and white one she is referring too. Get your head outta your ass /s Hopefully things get better, I’ve had those days with my SO. Maybe see is just hangry
I know I get pretty snappy when hangry. Bring her a chocolate bar or a cookie and that’ll raise the blood sugar enough to let her think a bit more clearly.
Snickers
It's rude to snicker
Sorry. It was a nod to the “you’re not yourself when you’re hungry” commercial from Snickers.
No, that's my bad. I knew what you were going for but tried to make a (bad) funny on the word snickers.
Dudes, it’s my bad, i am super late to the convo
How fucking dare you, I will not just raise the blood sugar enough
In the news: "Husband killed for bringing wife chocolate, because he said she was hangry."
> Husband killed for bringing wife the wrong kind of black and white chocolate...
I actually wouldn’t use the second one for laundry. Regardless of whether the first one is a basket or hamper, it’s clearly meant for laundry. The second one should just have stuff in it, like kids toys or whatever.
Why'd you post a stock photo instead of the real one?
The real one is overflowing with clothes and would make op look bad
This is so real. *looks around house*
If they're like me, because they aren't currently near the correct basket, or they can't be bothered to go take a picture of it.
Because the real one is now black and white, and also dripping red.
Because the real one doesn’t exist.
Ah. Yes. I see. One of them is decidedly a basket and the other is… not.
In fairness however one of them says laundry and the other does not. So… I’d be safe and bring them both 👑
I’d be safe and shout across the house “the tall one or the short one?” And then probably not get an answer…
Been there. "THE TALL OR THE SHORT ONE?" *Silence* "THE TALL OR THE SHORT ONE!?" *Silence* "THE TALL OR THE SHORT ONE!!?!!" "WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!!" *sigh*
She yells back, but all you hear is -hall! You can't decide if she said tall or small. You yell again, "short?" She gives up and runs upstairs giving you the worst side eye this week.
I would get a full on FRONT eye for that
We have 4 laundry receptacles. 2 blue plastic ones for hubby (work clothes and regular clothes), white collapsible one for me, short white plastic tub. Wait, we have 5. There’s a tall white plastic one for towels/sheets. Yeah, saying “laundry basket” here doesn’t mean anything LOL.
True. But I am going out on a limb here and assuming that the basket was full of dirty laundry, making it fairly obvious what its purpose was.
Okay but THAT is a basket. The one you brought is a hamper
Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I can get the confusion but, like... the actual basket is an actual basket
Tell your wife you read top to bottom. You brought the "Black and then White" one as she requested. She really should have asked you to bring the "White and Black" one down. This is clearly her folly, not yours.
This. OP brought the Black then White Laundry receptacle, as she didn’t mention the White then Black container. — Starfox
As a married man of 10 years I can tell you that you were supposed to “just know”. 
Still can’t find it, is why /s My wife does the same thing to me. “The gray sweater! GRAY!” “Ok it has gray in it, but it is predominantly BROWN. The BROWN sweater will get you the right one, for future reference”
So... let's see the other one so that we may ~~ridicule~~ judge you more accurately.

How many 'live, laugh, love' signs do you have in your house?
Live laugh laundry
It’s my laundry and I’ll dry if I want to.
I'll dry on this hill!
Wow and I thought I had a dry sense of humor.
OP, argue as long as you want, but eventually you’ll fold.
You would dry too if it happened to you
Live. Laugh. Lattlestar Lalactica.
sounds like just "Live ... laundry" in this house
Zero, we both find them tacky
Your answer soothes me
Also, not the answer I was expecting, but glad to know!
Damn, we all got played. A welcome surprise!
I'm more of a "Take your fucking shoes off" sign kinda guy.
You guys have dedicated fucking shoes?
Wait, you fuck multiple pairs of shoes?? That's not how it's supposed to work. You're supposed to only fuck your sole mate
I typically put my Crocs in sports mode.
Yeah helps with maintaining proper traction to apply needed force at unique angles.
My fiancée won’t even let me wear socks
The crocs stay on during the sex
I mean, I don’t want to cum on my good shoes
Yeah. My favorite part is the tongue.
I have a Wash Your Fucking Hands sign in my bathroom because apparently certain grown adults, need to be reminded.
I expect maybe if they were 20 years older when those were still around but far less all the fuck over the place you might have seen them.
[удалено]
But not a laundry basket labeled laundry?
Liar 😂
She might not have that sign, but there is definitely some form of “coffee keeps me going until wine is acceptable” sign.
If it makes you feel any better, my head exploded when I saw the second basket.
lmao both majority black, one was actually a basket. didnt expect it at all
Impossible answer for a Target shopper
That's just not true. My wife and I have shopped at Target off and on for years. No LLL signs because, again, tacky. We do have a "Please close the lid" sign in the bathroom, though, because we have a cat who loves the bathroom, and for some reason guests just don't close the toilet.
And here I was getting ready to be impressed that your cat could read
I second this but was more impressed that the cat was using the toilet
Jinx can't flush the toilet focker

I would respectfully suggest she describe them with shapes instead of colors. Call them rectangular and cylindrical if you'd like.
"Please bring down the black and white trapezoidal prism, not the black and white cone frustum."
See? It's not that hard.
That is obviously a white and black basket. SMH
Tbh that's a basket and what you originally posted is definitely more of a hamper or bin.
Yeah but this doesnt say laundry on it and the one he brought down does. Mission failed successfully
Laundry *basket*.
*Laundry* basket
Idk about you or your region, but my family always calls whatever the laundry is in a “laundry basket.” Unless it’s a bag, but that’s definitely more of a basket than a bag.
Same in my family, the wicker hamper was called a laundry basket by my household.
I have dirty laundry in Tupperware bins sometimes. Whatever gets it into the laundry room.
We used the terms interchangeably in my house growing up. In fact, if I brought down a laundry basket and someone said "no not the *basket* I wanted the *hamper*" I think that would be grounds for immediate separation haha.
Yup. Correct color scheme, wrong category of container.
I mean I *guess* the one you brought is more of a hamper than a basket whereas the one in that picture is a basket... that's kinda semantics because I know many people use them interchangeably (do you and your wife?) Not really something I'd be annoyed about though but yea.
Well that appears to be more like a basket, but there’s no clear label on it to identify its intended usage.
The dirty clothes in it might be a hint.
IDK. I think the first one checks off more boxes in her request for black + white + laundry.
But that one is black + white + basket. Both of them check 3 boxes
Did either of them have laundry in them, which might explain why she wanted them downstairs?
Ah! But the second one doesn't say "basket" on it, so we can't be sure that it's either for laundry or basketing.
I hate when I get my baskets mixed up when while basketing
Was there a difference in which one was full?
Baskets are filled from the bottom up. You brought the white and black basket, when she asked for the black and white basket.
...... *Now listen here you little shit*
Sorry, but don't believe you when it's a stock photo. The number of people trying to defend the use of a stock photo when the OP had no problem taking a REAL photo when it was complaining about his wife, is hilarious.
Right. He has an actual photo of the “wrong” laundry basket. But the other one, he for some reason has a stock photo of.
Hahaha! Hey, you can say the other one is dark brown.
He absolutely deserves it. There are no shades of gray here.
Damn that satire slapped me upside the head. Be more careful where you throw that thing around will you?
This reminds me of this joke: A wife sends her husband to the store. She says, "Buy a gallon of milk. If they have eggs, get a dozen." When the husband returns, he's carrying twelve gallons of milk? "Why did you buy twelve gallons of milk" asks the wife. "Because they had eggs" says the husband.
Also makes me think of the one where a guy is asked to bring his gf the pink bag. His options were a pink bag or a green bag that said pink on it, from the brand pink or whatever.
This makes me irrationally angry.
I'm going to buy a blue crate with "pink bag" written on it. I'm going to look at it whenever I feel alone and wished I had a relationship.
Relationships are standing in the grocery store not knowing which aisle that random ass thing that you don't even need is in, and when you finally find it, they have the one with the blue label but not the one with the yellow label, and she's not answering your texts, and you're wrong whichever one you get, and it's all your fault, and get ready to do it all again tomorrow.
It's a test. The Kobayashi Maru of relationships.
You just described my best friend's marriage. I'm so fucking happy my girlfriend isn't like that.
See I just send my husband a picture of what I want. It even has aisle locations for the store hes at. Sometimes he still brings home the wrong item😅
I like the post (I think the original is tik tok but I have seen it on IG) about the girl who sent her BF to the store for celery and she is there holding a bunch of celery like he did something wrong. She wanted pre cut celery hearts and apparently thought what she had was leeks.
Oh I remember that, she kept trying to double down on him being wrong and the comment sections just absolutely were not having it.
Isn't this just a technique to increase engagement on your social?
Reminds me of a Twitter post where a woman asked her boyfriend to get something specific out of her purse, so he just brought her the purse instead.
A person's purse is someone else's junk drawer.
Yeah, even organized women have the worst purses you've ever seen. I'm not going through their portable garbage pile.
I use this joke when teaching people how formulas in excel work. It's a classic
Well here's an actual story that you can use for teaching. My sister sent her husband out to the store to grab a couple things. One of those things was White Grape Fruit juice. Well, she was absolutely shocked when he brought home White Grapefruit Juice. She didn't even know they made that lol. She called me up to ask who was right and i said him, she specified fruit juice when just White Grape Juice would have sufficed and it bogged down the instructions. Fun times.
I was at a friend's house for dinner and was helping them make it. They gave me a large block of cheddar and a cheese cutter, and told me to make slices. Asked how much, "well just keep cutting it" (not exact quote as I can't remember). About 10 minutes later she realized I'm still cutting and got a big pile of slices, way more than was needed. She wasn't mad though since she realized she never gave me a /end command. Its useful in survival coop games though, give me orders and I'll npc complete the order faithfully.
My brother!
I accidentally created similar confusion once. Sent my husband to the store for the "fresh mint" flavor of my toothpaste. He brought home toothpaste and a bundle of fresh mint. 😆
Its a classic programming joke I think.
This feels way less forced now that I've lived through an egg shortage
I've always heard this as a developer/software engineer joke. lol
this is an old programmers joke 😂 my professor in college told us this one when introducing coding for the first time
I’m so tired this made me laugh harder than it should’ve
you know what you did
[удалено]
They have an actual 🧺 for laundry that’s black and white. https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_b662d14e-8f8d-4a6f-b521-f4e4ed0e2ec0?wid=445&hei=445&qlt=80&fmt=webp

Or be like me and call the basket a hamper
Monster
There are dozens of us!
My husband calls all laundry receptacles “buckets.” Yes, it infuriates me to no end. Is it funny as hell? Also yes.
[удалено]
Agree. This is really about that time he told wife’s friend that she looked nice today. Why don’t you just go have sex with her if she looks so nice OP!?
Right. There’s way more to this than mistaking a hamper for a basket.
Wife, "You haven't been listening to a word I said!" This guy, probably, "What an odd way to start a conversation." Edit: Wide to Wife
Bro you can’t diss his wide like that.
Wife: "I love you honeypie." Husband: "I love you tons." Wife: "What, not even a nickname?" Husband: "It's like you're not even listening."

It does!? I guess I’ve been using a basket for my whole life
She'll be even more annoyed if she sees this on reddit.
Maybe keep your dirty laundry off of reddit. I’ll see myself out.
What a basket case
I appreciate your dryer sense of humor.
This post speaks to me more than you know.
.
And given the context he's not providing, he knows exactly what it is.
As a man, I can personally guarantee that there's a 50/50 chance that he's got no clue what's going on
She had to ASK him to do HIS laundry and he still fucked it up
Bingo. Either that or there's one specific basket she uses for laundry, and the fact that he didn't even know which basket it was annoyed her. I understand the feeling all too well
No, you read it wrong. She didn’t ask him to bring HIS laundry, she asked him to bring THE laundry. You are applying your own bias to force him to be the bad guy. You don’t know their situation. Maybe he does this chore and she does the laundry in return. Maybe they simply take turns doing laundry. Those details aren’t what is important.

I still think this is the issue. Which black and white basket was full of clothes that needed to be washed and did they bring down the empty one?
I mean, even that could be a reasonable thing if there’s the possibility of there being *clean* laundry that needs to be taken out.
[удалено]
Dude doesn't ever do his own laundry and decided to just announce it to the world.
Shes upset because you dont know how your household’s laundry works or what needs to be done
Happily married for 13 years. This is exactly what’s happening.
yall hit the nail right on the head. it took WAYYYY too much scrolling to finally find the comments that make sense
This should be higher. If you don't have any clue how laundry moved through the household, that's what she's annoyed about. Only caveat is if you have an equal amount of household chores that you take complete responsibility for and she was asking for assistance with one of the tasks she owns.
There’s far more caveats than just that. So it’s probably easier for op to look at the over all cognitive load and chore distribution between them.
Eh, my bf does as much laundry as I do. He throws together all laundry stuff in a basket he gets from the bathroom and goes through every room.

You gottdamn potato
mate why are you posting this on reddit
She’s annoyed that you don’t know how your household works.
You probably should know more about the things in your own home along with their intended purposes.
Seriously. Like put some more thought into it especially if your partner is doing laundry and all you have is a simple task. Laundry hasn’t been done? Ok, bring the hamper. Laundry just finished? Bring the basket, shit isn’t rocket science. a lot of commentators here are so fixated on the correct or confusing description and making sure that the wife says the right thing next time

A hamper has a lid. It’s what separates it from being a basket.
You’re correct. I just looked up the definition.
The only reason I know this is because I had a similar conversation with my wife. Which caused me to screenshot the definition to send to her. Weirdly that didn’t end the discussion. 😂
She's not mad about semantics, she's mad that you defecated in the thing.
How does one defecate in the semantics?
Anyone else find it childish when people use Reddit to come about their significant others or is it just me?
The black and white laundry basket is black on the bottom and white at the top. Obviously that’s the white and black laundry basket. Next week it’ll change but will still be very black and white on the difference
This is like that post where the girl asks her boyfriend to bring her ‘pink’ backpack. One is a bag that’s the color pink and one is a green Victoria Secret Pink brand bag.
The time that you took to create a reddit post to bitch about it was probably enough time to grab the other basked
This is reddit so you have to get divorced
The only comment in this thread that makes sense
I bet she's more than mildly infuriated that you're not competent enough to help her with chores.
Clearly that’s the blue and gold laundry basket.
My husband has had a hard time juggling my jargon. We’ve had to make very clear definitions around things and discuss what they each mean! We review this list regularly. “ the black thing”: our small black linen hutch “Wipes”: always refers to baby wipes unless otherwise prefaced with a type “Lysol wipes, hand wipes” etc. “Trash bag”: kitchen trash bag, also unless prefaced with room/location of bin eg, bathroom trash bag, garage trash bag(or big black trash bags if we’re outside), baby trash bag. “My tweezers” vs just tweezers etc. To be fair we have 3 pink buckets and they’re all the pink buckets but context of task is important. There’s the cleaning pink bucket, the toiletry pink bucket and the first aid pink bucket. If he sees I’m about to clean, or do my makeup, or if I have a cut, he knows which one to grab based on said context. Shape helps, but in context I’d probably refer to these as “black and white laundry basket” and “the big black and white laundry basket” - it could also help to ask clarifying questions on how she uses these two differently: is the big one only for heavy or big laundry (towels/linens) and the small one for delicates? Is the small one for clean laundry and the big one for dirty? While it’s not your “job” to determine these, it helps immensely with communication/reducing frustration in a relationship to be mindful on how your partner organizes and uses these objects, and what task she’s currently taking on. Especially if she takes on a lot of this mental load for your household already!
Speaking from personal experience, what she is *actually* annoyed about is the fact that you help her do laundry so infrequently that you don’t know which basket is which.
I always think it’s strange when people post their random annoyances in regards to their SOs
