I've never met anyone who does this and the only times it happens is on accident.

I live with hard water, so if I did this my clothes would be starchy and uncomfortable to wear. They have to immediately hit the dryer once the wash cycle finishes. Then - unless I want to wear crinkly clothes - straight to the hangers once the dryer finishes.

Not to mention the sour smell that clothes get when left wet for too long in the washing machine.
