The Unwritten Code Of The Laundry Room

[dazz]

So,
I come back to the laundry room in my apartment building to switch my clothes to the dryer,when I notice a lady there, taking out my stuff from a washer and putting it all on a nearby table.
So I am like,WTF are you doing?
Her: I need to use the washer
Me: Well,why the fu(* didn't you wait a few minutes. It just stopped 2-3 minutes ago?!
Her: No need to be so rude. Next time just be here on time.
Me: I don't need to be here on time.You had no right to fu** touch my stuff. You know exactly how I feel and why I am saying that,so don't fu** give me your "it's your fault" speech.


Was I right? It's not the first time it's happening and I kind of lost it. It's not like I was an hour late.


There was time a few years back when I found my clothes really wet and soapy on a side table,with someone elses clothing inside the machine. There were quite a few empty washers around,so it didn't make any sense.

Wait till she's gone and piss in her machine.

Its true.

I hate it when people touch. I am so happy to have my own laundry facilities in my own apartment now

This is why I refuse to live somewhere without my own washer/dryer. I used to do my laundry at weird hours, just to avoid this kind of thing.

I think she was wrong in not waiting a bit to get her clothes in, but your disrespectgul tone and language pretty much invalidated any high ground you may have had IMHO. After the way you talked to her, she could have done much worse and still been okay in my books.

to me she's in the wrong since you were only a couple minutes late.. same thing happened to me but I didn't catch the guy on time.. I just saw him walking out of the laundry room as I entered.. so I left a note on the machine for him to give him a piece of my mind.. the fu$%er put the note on somebody else's door cuz he thought I lived there..

Wait till she's gone and piss in her machine.

To add to this plan, pee in a waterbottle first in the privacy of the washroom. Then dump the contents into her machine.

Ya know what as uncool as it is for people to touch your clothes it would be just as uncool for her to sit around and wait for you wasting her time.....lots of people leave their **** in the washer for more than a few minutes so if you don't like it be there when it's done so it doesn't happen!

[Rocketo]

don't u mean UNWRITTEN...

yeah that would piss me off...i know my wife had that happen to her and wow she let loose on this one jabroni..

anyways i had the opposite happen..some people have no decency and respect for others and leave their clothes in the dryer for periods of more than an hour i one time put someone's clothes on top and oddly i came back an hour later and the clothes were still on top of the dryer...that shows you how some people don't respect the rules...if u are lining up to a washroom u get in and get out...don't understand how the principles are different when it comes to laundry room

Agreed, she should have waited a few more minutes. But after the way you spoke to her, she should thrown your stuff on the floor after you talked to her like that.

Next time, if you absolutely don't want people touching your stuff, stay by your washer (read a book or something) or come EARLIER to pick up your stuff. Maybe a waste of time, but if it's that important to you...

Its true.

I hate it when people touch.

In this situation, you should be asking for an adult.....

"I need an adult, I need an adult !!".........

[M.D.]

I would probably wait 10 min. max
I just don't like touching people's stuff.

[john widow]

Yeah, u shouldn't be touching other ppls laundry. I've seen ppl at the laundrymat get their clothes washed and then go out for a while and come back when its ready. And only the owner of the laundrymat should decide whos clothes to touch or what not cuz he/she has to operate the business
