Laundry room etiquette

[Droopy]

DO NOT TOUCH MY FUCKING CLOTHES!!!!

Especially my underwear and towels. Thank you.

1. So me laying your underwear and towels out and rolling around naked

on them is completely out of the question...


:P

[Droopy]

2. AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

The mere thought of it makes me have to double up on my anti-psychotic medication.

[KitchenWitch]

3. I am sorry.

I hated community laundry rooms when I lived in apartments...

4. Did you leave them in the dryer too long?

Because if you did, tough.
On the hierarchy of laundry room laws, leaving laundry in the dryer to long after it has stopped comes in as a bigger no no than touching laundry that is not yours.

Otherwise, there really is no reason to touch someone else's laundry.

8. People who tutch others' stuff display bad form, BUT

People who leave their clothes in the dryers are also out of order.

Solution: if you want to use a dryer that has clothes in it, take them out, BUT FOLD THEM and place them into a nice pile on the dryer.

That is all.

12. Oh no. To much opportunity for abuse in that model.

Hell, anyone with half a brain and a lazy streak would simply leave their clothes in the dryer until someone folded them.

Me? I'll toss your clothes in a giant, crinkly pile on the folding table.

[quip]

13. Some lazy asses coast on welfare, too.

It's their life. We must take the high road and fold the clothes. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Starch and press 'em, too, you lazy putz.

Christ. If you're gonna do my laundry, at least do a complete job.

17. I'm not surprised you're a starcher.

I bet you crinkle when you walk!

[quip]

19. Yes! And that is when my head explodes

I am all about helping people get on their feet, but if they aren't willing to put forth any effort themselves, I quickly lose patience.

14. If you're very, very lucky, they won't end up on the floor

Don't leave your clothes in the dryer.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. If it's busy, and you leave 'em in a dryer or washing machine that's done, they get moved.

That's etiquette, also, not to leave stuff in the machines when it's busy.

[philosophie_en_rose]

15. Exactly.

Etiquette only requires putting the clothes on the nearest clean surface. The clothes are still clean and there's no difference between them wrinkling in the dryer or on a table. Personally, I wouldn't expect or want a stranger to fold my dainties, if I was late to the machine.

6. More laundry room etiquette

Please remove your fucking clothes from the washer or dryer sometime before the next century. Other people's time is as valuable as yours and they shouldn't have to sit around waiting on you to get back from wherever while your fucking clothes hog the one machine not in use any more.

You're welcome.

7. Get your fucking undies out of my way

Especially the towels

[quip]

9. Are "fucking undies" kinda like "lucky shirts?"

:shrug:

[DS1]

10. No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Nihilist: Ve don't care. Ve still vant ze money, Lebowski, or ve fuck you up.
Walter Sobchak: Fuck you. Fuck the three of you.
The Dude: Hey, cool it Walter.
Walter Sobchak: No, without a hostage, there is no ransom. That's what ransom is. Those are the fucking rules.
Nihilist #2: His girlfriend gave up her toe!
Nihilist #3: She though we'd be getting million dollars!
Nihilist #2: Iss not fair!
Walter Sobchak: Fair! WHO'S THE FUCKING NIHILIST HERE! WHAT ARE YOU, A BUNCH OF FUCKING CRYBABIES?
The Dude: Hey, cool it Walter. Look, pal, there never was any money. The big Lebowski gave me an empty briefcase, so take it up with him, man.
Walter Sobchak: And, I would like my undies back.

[Dr. Strange]

11. Show me what you got.

Nihilist. Dipshit with a nine-toed woman.

18. Okay everybody

I guess this is partly my fault for not supplying enough information. So before this becomes the most unintentionally funny thread I ever started....

I do not use a public laundromat. I live in a 4 unit condo building. My neighbors and I share the same laundry room. It has 3 washers and 3 dryers. I wash two loads a week and I had my two loads in two dryers. Someone else had one load in a washer. Well, I went down there thinking that my laundry should be done drying. The person who was washing the one load had taken one of my loads out of the dryer and put her stuff in there instead of using the one available dryer. I don't know if that's just her lucky dryer or if she thinks it works better or what, but there you have it.
