Hi all,
I just moved here so this might be a dumb question so please don’t judge. Why does my laundry smell like pee and how can I fix it? I used a common washer and dryer in my building. Is it because of that? Is it mold? Is it the water? I air dry my workout leggings and they all smell really weird and I don’t know what to do 😔

The amount of built up soap and fabric softener in shared laundry is crazy.

Workout gear needs special soap and a clean washer to really work. Try sports suds or something similar and wash by hand. Maybe vinegar soak first to get all the gunk out of the fibers.

My [shared] washing machine is super sh!tty but found using Arm & Hammer Laundry booster keeps everything much, much, cleaner. Esp my white tees!! I had to throw away a lot of my favorites the last year but the A&H LB really does the trick.

I am starting to question my existence in this world. I have a nice job, decent salary, i work out and eat healthy, maintain my health, read 3 to 4 books every month, dont have any personal commitments (single), in my early 30s and things cant be any better. Of course with the exception that i had a real bad break-up with my fiancé 6 months ago. And i dont have any symptoms of depression, but there are days when i just feel like what is all this for?

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.
