I was trying to help my wife while she was at work and wash the clothes for her. I brought all of the dirty clothes out to the laundry room an commensed to turn on the water, add the soap, making sure to swish it around to disolve, and shut the lid.
About a half hour later I came back in the laundry room to put the clothes in the dryer. Imagine my surprise when I opened the washer and it was empty.

I mean NO clothes and no water, nothing. I just stood there stunned for a few moments and then it set in.
I had never put the clothes IN the washer to start with.
NO, I did not tell my wife about this, are you kidding?
