Would you have been pissed?

I have a washer/dryer in our place but they are small so when I have to wash blankets we use the ones in our building's gym. DH washed our blanket yesterday and when he went there to put it in the dryer it was out of the washing machine and on the table! Fukking idiot residents.

Later that day - he asked me to check it when I came home from work to make sure its dry. I went there and someone took it out of the dryer (it was still damp) and put it on the table and was using all 3 machines at once.

I flipped out. I told my DH that Im setting the clock to when the dryer was going to be done and im going in there to say something. He kept telling me to calm down. I said no - its ridiculous that this is the second time they touched the blanket knowing its wet and taking it first out of the washing machine and putting it on the tabel (gross) then out of the dryer when it wasnt even done.

I stormed in there right when their clothes were done and put their shyt on the table and put my blanket back in. He wouldnt even let me leave the note I wrote. haha

Re: Would you have been pissed?

I would have done the same thing (actually I would have thrown some of their clothes on the floor ). That's just gross

RIGHT?!?! I told DH I wanted to toss them on the floor but he got annoyed that I was acting so irrational ...

Part of the beauty of having community laundry rooms. I dealt with this ALL the time in college. Next time make sure you time yourself correctly to be down before it's done

Youre right, DH should not have waited for me to get home .. he shouldve just checked on it, but ew - other peoples hands on my blanket - I hate it. ha

Re: Would you have been pissed?

Eh, this is standard procedure for laundromats. If you're not there when your stuff is done, I'm throwing it in a cart and using your machine!

I've never done laundry at the laundromat .. is that really what people do? Touch other peoples stuff and take their wet things out of a washing machine and put it on a table ...

I better tell DH to just time it correctly next time. In the meantime I wish I wouldve ran into the person to tell them how gross it is that their hands were on the blanket I sleep on .. haha

Re: Would you have been pissed?

We have our own washing machine now, but when I was in college I had to use the dorm room machines (and share them with the entire building). It was pretty much common knowledge, if the machine was off and you weren't there- you can take out the person's stuff and the machine is fair game. Who knows when the person would come back? I don't want to wait 3 hours just so someone can take their stuff out of a machine. Its just sitting there anyway.

Those were the dorms though..not sure if they are any different.

Yupp. That's how it's done. If it's damp when the cycle is finished it's not the fault of the person who takes it out. It's the machines fault or the person who put it in for not putting it in long enough.

Like Colleen said, who knows when they'll come back? I'm not waiting around for someone else's clothes to sit in the washer/dryer.

Good point.

Re: Would you have been pissed?

I don't like that either, when I lived at my college, we had sign in sheets for the washer and dryer, and I usually did my laundry when I knew I was going to be doing homework and would even set a timer. Not only that, my name and my room number was on the sign in sheet! it would make me soooooo angry if they didn't have balls to come to my room and say 'hey your laundry is done and I'd like to get mine going'. I would have gladly stopped what I was doing to take care of it.


i bring my laundry to my in laws now, I don't use the machines in my complex because they are small and always breaking.

Re: Would you have been pissed?

Yeah sorry kiddo... if you aren't there to remove your stuff -- I'd probably give you a 5-10 minute grace period but... it isn't your machine. You can't hog it...

This is standard procedure.

Sowwy.

Re: Would you have been pissed?

LESSON LEARNED..



NO MORE CLEANING BLANKETS!

Re: Would you have been pissed?

UGH!!

Re: Would you have been pissed?

OH HELL MOTHER EFFING NO!!! I would flip my lid!!! I would've stalked the machines to watch and flip out on the b!tch!!!!

I'm so mad right now for you!!! How fckuing rude and inconsiderate!! I would've thrown their sh!t on the floor!

Yup yup. I can't sit around and wait for someone to mosey on down and take care of their stuff. I'd do this all the time, but only when no other machines were available.

Now we just drop it off at the laundromat and let them do it. But when we were doing it ourselves, this would be commonplace.

So, to answer your question, no, I wouldn't be pissed. Not at them. I'd be pissed at myself for not watching the clock properly.

Re: Would you have been pissed?

We have a communal laundry room in our building and unfortunately, this is how it goes.

If you aren't there to add more time to your dryer or remove your clothes from the washer when its done, someone else will take it out. After all, why should they wait for you to come downstairs to add more money if their clothing is sitting wet?

They should not have thrown your stuff on the floor but its pretty normal to take your stuff out and put theirs in. I always take other people's clothing out but put them on top of the dryer, wet or not.

They didn't throw them on the floor- they put them on the table.
