That's how I did my laundry in college and being used to that routine might lead one to the belief that the goofing off was part of the way people do laundry.

My housekeeper puts the laundry on to wash, cleans other stuff for awhile, then dries the laundry, goes back to cleaning other stuff, then folds the laundry and puts it away. But yeah, this article was widely mocked at Georgetown.
