Laundry Room Antics & Ettiquette

Sunday I needed to do some laundry. I wanted to do about 3 or 4 loads and get ready for the upcoming week. So at around 3:30 I go down to the laundry room. Someone is using the washing machine. They have their laundry bag on the lid, the cycle has stopped, and the clothes are just sitting inside. Nothing is in the dryer. So I leave my laundry bag on the folding table (this is a sign that someone else wants to do laundry, so don't hog the machines), and go back upstairs. I get to doing some other things and I go back down to the laundry room almost an hour later. Nothing has changed. Except this time I notice that the person has left 3 quarters sitting next to their bag. This is interesting, as the dryer takes 3 quarters. So is this person saying that they are going to use the washer, but that they expect someone else to put their stuff in the dryer? Look, I hate doing my own laundry, I'm sure as hell not going to do someone elses! I go back upstairs, and I glance at the parking area. My car is the only car there. I'm really ticked off. I do some dishes, vacuum, and go back downstairs. It's now been nearly 2 hours since I first went down. No debate this time. I open the washer and start pulling out the persons clothes. I throw them on top of the dryer. In this mix of clothes is a towel, a sweatshirt, 2 or 3 tee-shirts, a bunch of sheer bras, and 15 or so of the skimpiest thongs imaginable. Now look... I'm as turned on as the next guy by sexy lingerie. But I've seen all three girls that live in my building... and it ain't like they are victoria's secrets models. Plus the fact that I'm pissed about the washing machine being unavailable, AND the fact that I don't really want to handle a strangers underwear no matter how good looking they are.

So here's the deal. If you have a laundry room that you share with other people. DON'T use the machines unless you are going to be around to do your own damn laundry. thanks. have a nice day. bye bye.
