I took this whole situation and changed it around, just to see what I thought I'd think.
Wife works around jet fuel all day. Comes home and her clothes smell of it, her hair smells of it, she's got to be tired of smelling like it. She gets out of them quick, throws them in with my clothes, and soon after a shower she's feeling human again.
So when I go to get the laundry going, here's her stinking clothes all mixed in with my work clothes... shirts with the little guy riding the horse stitched on the front of them, and my silk boxers, and it all smells like plane fuel (thank goodness I don't smoke!).
I'd be talking to my wife about 'doesn't the airlines provide her some one piece cover-ups she can wear on the job and then leave there for them to wash.' How in the world can you be near flammables and not be wearing some protective clothing on the outermost layer??!!! That'd be my beef- with the job setting. I don't want wife going up like a torch somehow. She can wear jeans in to work, change into this coverall outfit, then chunk that in the dirty there at work, and wear street clothes back home. Greasy, fuelish clothes are bad for your washer, stinky to the house, and static electricity... zzzitttt! Poof! Suddenly you are holding a fire?
I couldn't get past that point. If he isn't given something to wear so that he doesn't have to smell like a kerosene stove when he comes home, then something is lacking there at the workplace.

John lol you're so funny.
He does wear a coverall outfit but he has to bring that home and I have to wash that too. And he has to wear clothing underneath it and the odors go through the coveralls. I never thought about a fire risk though, both he and I smoke. *shiver*

Don't try to come up with something. Ask him.

John, see, thats just not an option. A few months ago I threw away every single pair of socks he owns because he kept wearing them mismatched. If I have to I will throw away every article of clothing. He will learn, one way or another 
So you don't match them up as you take them out of the dryer?

That's really strange, coveralls that allow fuel fumes to permeate the wearer. Those are provided by the employer- its their property, and you have to wash it?
Is this job providing you two with a second laundry room with some heavy-duty machines so he could just throw his clothes into them while you wash your delicates in different machines? If he's down on the ground wrestling with airplanes- and the oil and the grease and the fuel dribbles and the transmission fluids all day, and the stuff is going right through the coverall to his personal clothing... don't you think that is really irking him? His car smells like his job, his house smells like his job near where the clothes are... . If his nose isn't shot from breathing that all day- does he get a respirator to wear? One that doesn't let the fumes come in? I think he's tired of smelling like work from the start of every day. And seriously, does he make for that kind of work condition, or is that what is provided for him and if he'd want better he'd have to pay for it?

Nawh, theres no other way. He wears what he has to wear and theres no option for them to wash the uniform. Meh.
I dont know if a face mask is provided but I know he doesn't wear one.

Most mechanical shops in my area provide uniforms, and the laundry service cleans them. The mechanics wear uniforms for work, and change into regular cloths for going home. Laundry cost of that type is a legit biz expense, and deductible.

That's what I was thinking. You've been pretty straightforward about what he's doing that bothers you. Ask him about what you do that bothers him.

Just checking. Good to see you were kidding. 
But overall even taking this into consideration, would you say he's a good husband? If so, then this one thing is something to discuss and compromise. You may be a pretty good wife, but perfection is above all of us. So there's room to improve, and there very well may be habits you have that he doesn't like.
Such as calling his underwear panties. That's wrong on SO many levels. 
hahaha! He's an OK husband, he's been getting better though. I like things perfect though and sometimes well, he doesnt like them too perfect. He may pay the bills but I run the house :)
I'm curious though, I will ask him if theres something I do that bothers him. I'll be sure to tell ya all what he says, should be interesting

I noticed something. Almost every time you pointed out something that he said annoyed him about you, there was a reason attached to it. But you're not looking for a reason for why he does what annoys you. You just want him to stop. Just an observation.
And not to go off topic, but there is NEVER a reason to be rude.

Yes, it's my husband LOL. Why would I do any other persons laundry? Nasty!
I know it's 'just' laundry, but it's a big deal! It's giving me more extra work to do and I really really don't need extra work.
It's only a big deal because you're making it into one. How much extra work is it really? In our house, laundry is my job, and I can completely sort a 3' high pile of laundry, carry the first load down 2 flights of stairs and have it going in the machine in about 3 minutes. How much more time does shaking out a few pairs of underwear REALLY take? Time it next time and ask yourself if saving a few seconds is worth the stress you're putting on yourself and the aggravation you're bringing into your family.

He made ten complaints. To those ten complaints, you gave three excuses, two "HAHAs", one "HAHAHA" and two LOLs. Laughing at his complaints means you aren't taking him seriously.

How is my not drinking anything besides mountain dew a serious complaint? I think ya all are being a bit over protective.

The point is, you're making a VERY big deal out of something he does you don't like. Yet you don't seem to be taking his complaints seriously.
I can't speak for your situation, but if I didn't take my wife seriously on any complaint she had about me, what right do I have to ask her to take me seriously?
You want him to take you seriously? Show him.

The difference is that my drink preference doesn't affect him. But his taking his pants off incorrectly does affect me.
