A surprising debate has washed up on social media about how to handle getting laundry detergent into the washing machine. It started with a woman posting a TikTok video calling her boyfriend out for the way he does it. “Help?? I just asked my bf where the cap for the detergent is and he said, 'Oh I just fill it up and throw it in?'” the woman wrote over the video in fake horror. "With ALL the clothes??"
The clip shows him reading the back of the Gain detergent jug because he was “so convinced” this is correct, he was looking for the instructions explaining how to do it his way. His girlfriend captioned the clip, “Mental behavior in the house tonight,” because she’s certain his way of doing the laundry isn’t “normal.”
It turns out, a lot of people have strong opinions about this, as thousands of comments have come in, and the majority don’t think his way is weird because they do the same thing. Most users think it’s fine to toss the cap into the washer because it keeps it clean and uses every bit of detergent.
- “Girl, don’t make me defend a man,” one writes.
- “I have done this my entire life!,” another shares. “Keeps the cap from getting sticky and gross and you use every last drop.”
- “He’s 1000 percent right on this one,” comments a woman. “It pains me to take a man’s side tho.”
But others were quick to agree with the girlfriend that her man’s method is “crazy”:
- “Girl, I’ve NEVER heard of anyone doing this either, this blew my mind,” one supporter shares.
- “Yall in the comments just now made this up NO ONE does this 😭😭😭,” another comments.
- “There is no way this comments section is real,” writes another. “Do you people also bake measuring cups inside your bread?”
