The Humor of the Dryer Sheet

Maybe I’m the only person who finds this funny (but I’m not even mad). Every now and then, as I cross the convoluted sidewalks through campus I see this one inanimate object lying around that never ceases to make me stop for a laugh.

Picture this:

A girl is meandering along with her fingers busily texting when suddenly she finds a remnant from yesterday’s laundry tucked away, hiding in her sweater. She pulls it out and glances around to make sure no one noticed. “How did that get in there?!” she asks herself. She is shocked and appalled at the appearance of this object that fluffs and freshens her clothes but should only do so in the privacy of her own home. Rather than hold onto this apparently embarrassing artifact until a trashcan appears, she tosses it on the ground and walks away as quickly as possible attempting to hide her face in shame.

A few minutes later, you walk past this girl’s laundry leftovers. You chuckle to yourself as you imagine the entire scenario and look of embarrassment this must have caused her.

Whether you’re stuck in the 9-5 grind or monotonous lull of school, we’ve all got to find humor in the small things in our day to day lives. Keep an eye out for dryer sheets.

I’m not laughing with you, I’m laughing at you.
