Exactly how did this happen?

So, for the past week I’ve done an average of one load of laundry a day; we’ve done multiple loads ever since the washer/drier arrived… And I’ll grant the pile of laundry is smaller.

But not as much smaller as it should be. It peaked at around 5′ high with the dead washer/drier; but it’s still more than one laundry basket full…

Gah?
