Damn uncomfortable and still soaking wet! 🤬I bought some new sweats from Costco yesterday.

As is my habit, I washed them prior to wearing. The laundry label reads “Wash in cold water with like colors. Do not bleach. Do not place in dryer. Dry horizontally.”

I followed the instructions to a T.

As it was late in the day, and nearly bedtime, I assumed a horizontal position wearing my new sweats.

When I awoke, the sweats were still wet. I was cold and wet. My bed is soaked though to the mattress! 🤬

WTH Costco!

I suggest finding a lawyer and ask to resume the horizontal position in his ambulance while he finds the remaining buyers for the class action lawsuit.

Good luck! There's money to be made in a wet bed.

It's not a surprise that the sweats, you and your bed were/are still wet.

Or was this a 'joke' post? SILLY!

Set them out, without you in them, a rack of some sort would be good; towel yourself dry, and think of other things.

We'll set you up on a drying rack with a electric heater set on low, that way you don't turn into a shrinky dink before our eyes.
