When someone asks me to do their laundry: Funny retro mug with 50s housewife

Fortunately, we're long past the days of washboards and wringers... but that doesn't mean everyone got the memo on how to run the washing machine.

More to the point, they did see the memo - but promptly slid it into the shredder and asked you to do their laundry.

We say: If they can read and work a shredder, they should have no problem doing their own dang laundry!

This fabulous vintage ad photo from the 1950s shows a woman gesturing like a game show hostess, pointing out the fabulous new appliance of the age: an automatic washing machine.

The design is made even more fabulously retro kitsch thanks to the text running over the bottom of the image (made to look like an old-fashioned plastic Dymo tape label). The design is printed twice, as shown on the pictures here, so it can be seen on either side of the cup's handle.

Our exclusive vintage-style mug says: "Me, when someone asks me to do their laundry."

This humorous chores/laundry mug would make the perfect gift for anyone who does not need any more work to do around the house, thankyouverymuch.
