Dirty laundry

Why is it that I can work for an entire month without a day off, yet the act of doing laundry feels insurmountable? A relatively simple process -- wash, dry, fold, put away -- makes me crazy. I hate it. I also hate opening the dryer to find somebody's clothes sitting in there, which, sadly enough, happens about 99 percent of the time. Apparently my roommates/sisters don't know how to collect their clothes from the dryer.
