Wife says to me, when your home this week can you do laundry? I say hell yes no problems. She comes home from work yesterday and sees the laundry done and yells at me you didn’t separate the whites from the colors. I respond by saying that’s because I’m not a racist. Looks at me dead in my eyes and says. *******!
A little humor

Yep. I did that once. Once. I wasn't asked to do laundry for awhile. Then was told to do my clothes but make sure they were ONLY mine. Went well until I left a ball point pen in a pair of tan khakis. In the doghouse again I went.
Wife : if you do laundry always check the pockets.
Me: yes dear
Wife: you never check them. I always find money and receipts in the washer. Check the pockets!
Me: yes dear
Wife: I even found carmex once. Could’ve ruined the whole load. Check the pockets
Me: yes dear
Wife washes my pants with a car key fob in the pants. Ruined it.
Me: my key fob is ruined. You washed it in my pants.
Wife: didn’t I tell you to check the pockets?
Me: yes dear

My Legion baseball team in the late '70s and 1980 had white shirts with bright red pants. One poor guy's mom forgot to separate the two when she did laundry.
Poor guy.
Poor guy.
Back then they didn’t have breast cancer awareness either.
Had something similar happen with an ex gf.. she washed my iphone (first model) that were in a pair of cargo shorts.. after I asked her to check all the pockets first. i never asked her to do my laundry again, so I guess it works both ways
You did say ex. Was that the straw that broke the camel's back??Had something similar happen with an ex gf.. she washed my iphone (first model) that were in a pair of cargo shorts.. after I asked her to check all the pockets first. i never asked her to do my laundry again, so I guess it works both ways
Nah, we parted ways a couple of years later over other issues, but yeah I was a little angry about it for a couple hours. Stuff happens I guess.
One time I did a load of the kids' clothes to help out. Turns out my wife only buys clothes for the kids that:
1) contain synthetic materials that cannot get hot in the dryer
2) dry-clean only clothes that cannot go in the washer
3) clothes with logos or appliques on them that cannot get warm in the dryer
4) clothes with sequins or other details that cannot be washed, or dried, or breathed on wrong
5) clothes that cannot be washed because they will fade
6) clothes that have stains that were not pre-treated so they will set if washed
7) things that will shrink if washed wrong
8) heavily soiled play clothes that she didn't want washed in the same load as nicer outfits
9) too many other rules to list or remember
Holy crap, who knew there were so many rules. I have been doing my own laundry since I was eight years old, and other than separating colors from whites, I pretty much just throw all the cotton stuff in the machine and turn it on.

So, kinda in the same vein as the OP's story...
My mom has/had a specific detergent she uses/used for white clothes as it had a bleach alternative. She got tired of us using it for regular loads since it was color safe and it was expensive, so she wrote in big bold letters on it "FOR WHITES ONLY." Fast forward a little bit, and my older sister is bringing her boyfriend, who happened to be black, home for the first time. A few minutes before they get there, my mom happens to look at the detergent bottle and goes, "OH NO!" She runs and gets a marker, scribbles out the s in whites and fanangles "clothes" in there somehow. She ended up telling my sister and her boyfriend at some point down the line and he thought it was hilarious.
