"Hi! My name is selfish inconsiderate fuckface... I live in HEyHEY's building."
I like to leave my laundry in the washer twenty minutes after the cycle is done. Know why? Cause I have NO concept of other people!

1. So decorate a little.
Improve the laundry room with abandoned clothes art.

2. A quarter cup of bleach could solve that problem.
:P

Not that I would ever vandalize someone else's laundry... But the thought has occured to me at times.

22. Kids or cleaning up messes in hospitals.
It'll get you past those phobias real quick.

My first real job was cleaning up in a preschool.

Little kids do everything, everywhere.

But worst I ever did was clean up after drunks scraped up off the street. I'd rather clean up after little kids, even happy meal barf on the slides.

Clean wet clothes? No Problem, I'll touch 'em. As soon as the machine stops, IT'S MINE!!!

5. We did that all the time in the dorms
I generally chose to do my laundry though so I generally didn't get my stuff moved.

6. get your own washer you damned hippie!
I fucking hate paying to do laundry. If I do have to pay to do it, I take it all to a big laundrymat where I can do it all at once. It works out cheaper too because the machines are better maintained than crappy apartment basement ones (especially the dryers) and I don't have to keep running them repeatedly.

14. glove up
They must have forgotten. Don't be so mad. I betcha they haven't gone out of their way to personally offend YOU. Although it must feel like it, huh. Hope they come soon. Happy Laundry.

15. You snooze, you lose
If your stuff isn't out of the machine within 15 minutes after it's done, it gets moved to the table or the top of the machine. If I'm feeling nice I'll even put it in the dryer for you (but I won't start it-- that's your problem).

17. That's my rule, too - 20 minutes if I'm feeling generous
I do make a point of wiping off the dust, soap, or whatever might be on top of the machine before I move the wet stuff...

18. Hi! I'm the crazy lonely couple in jmm's building.
We like to wash only one or two outfits at a time so we are constantly hogging the washer. That way, since we're constantly at the machine, we can ambush our neighbors who are checking to see if we're done yet and start xenophobic obnoxious conversations. During the four hours a week we're not doing laundry we like to argue with the liquor delivery guy on the front porch and give our friend a chair so he can go to the end of the hall and drink and smoke not even two feet away from jmm's door.

19. The other things that bugs me in the laundry room.....
is the people who do a month's laundry at a single time and tie up all the damn washing machines. So that no one else can do their laundry.

:mad:

21. Yeah I know how ya feel.
Wife got tired of hoggers, and we got our own washer/dryer and found a hookup in Tucson where my grandfather happily purchased a set for us. A year later, we moved into my grandfather's house (he passed away 7 months earlier) and replaced the old W/D with ours.

We still have the old W/D in the garage. I think I'll sell it for 50 bucks each...

25. Okay, I will stop complaining about our slow, tiny in-unit washer/dryer.
I can never keep up with the laundry because it takes so long to do one load. But I don't have to share it with anyone so I will stop complaining. I remember those days, it sucked. I once had an entire load stolen from the dryer while it was still drying. My favorite shirt was in there, as well as my favorite hoodie.

27. Take it out..that's what they did in the apartment building I lived in.
We had one washer and dryer per 12 apartments. Heck, somebody pulled mine out of the washer and flung it on top of the dryer(and floor) while I walked across the hall into my apartment to get my basket after finding the dryer still full with someone elses wet clothes. Boy was she embarassed when I walked in. It turned out she was the girl who was using the dryer too. She'd forgotten to put money in the dryer so it backed everybody up.

After that, I went to the laundromat. It was pretty common, as we'd leave our apartment and look into the laundry area, to see people's wet clothes/dry clothes on top of the dryer.

I don't know how people survive apartment living. We did it for a year..longest year of my life.

28. That's the advantage of living near home.
Every time my sister and her husband come over for dinner (about once a week), they bring a mammoth load of laundry with them.
