I just imagined that everyone was just playing along. It's certainly more light hearted than many of the bickering threads.
I agree! Nice to see a minor problem here for a change.
I also agree with everyone who said OP should use the baskets in the manner his wife wishes him to. If she's doing the laundry, she sets the rule on this one.

Either that or she has an ONGOING issue with you being lazy and thinking you take advantage of her and this is her way of trying to make you be less lazy. Because I just can’t understand why she wouldn’t just put it on the left side and make it as simple as possible. I bet she would if it were her child or you had Alzheimer’s.
I do just about 50% of the housework and I make double her salary (work more hours per week)
She can easily make the basket on the left the non woolite lol
To be honest, the whole thing confuses me. Does the wife change the position of the baskets (i.e. left to right) weekly? That doesn't sound typical. I'd be curious to hear that answer to that question.
If I were the wife, I don't think I could find myself irritated enough not to put the large basket on the left just to make things easier for everyone.
It's hilarious how you choose the one post that supports your whole premise for this thread
How badly do you need affirmation? Is it not your house?
Just wash your own clothes if her system and her approach to your suggestions is so repugnant to you. But you'd better dig a little deeper than just the baskets if you want a happy marriage.
Is that a trick question?
If that's the only problem in your marriage, you guys are doing awesome!
Don't start creating imaginary problems...
Really, can't believe we got 40 replies about how to solve it.

Lol
I have a solution.
I’m going to destroy the medium white basket and replace it with a dark blue basket for woolite!!!!
I wear the same pajamas for days and days. She’s been doing them and yard clothes(not filthy just sweaty) for 3 years with no issue. So I think it’s her that is making a stink when there could be a simple compromise to keep the big basket on the left....or heck..... just make whatever basket on the left pajamas old socks etc
No, the question is what's so special about these odd items that you just don't do them with YOUR laundry. If I was your wife I'd not let you put your sweaty yard clothes with my stuff. She's been doing it but it seems silly - I think there's more of a story here.
It is dumb but dude, you have to pick your battles. This is coming from a divorcee.
