Maybe they should post rules.

If my laundry is taking up space in a machine (washer or dryer) that someone else could be using, I think my laundry is being inconsiderate and should not complain about being moved. I also don't think it gets to dictate where to be moved, though if there were a basket there, that'd be nice. People need to tend to their laundry. Otherwise, don't complain about other people having to.

That's how I feel. And it's not just because I like ita better than the huffy lady. Possibly I also have unresolved issues from the college laundry room.

People get weird about laundry.

she was a bit huffy when she said "I mind ... don't do it to me.

If she's such a freak about her laundry, mayhap she should park her ass in the laundry room until it's finished. IJS.

This is what I'm saying.

I'll generally leave about five minutes after a machine is done, but if the laundry owner doesn't collect it by then, I see no problem with moving it. I wouldn't mind if someone moved mine.

While we're on the subject of laundry...chocolate frosting comes out of clothes--even in cold water. There was a moment when I was worried about the amount of actual cake going into the washer.

Huh. I did laundry tonight, too, and I let my clothes sit too long in the dryer after they were done, and someone took them out and set them on top. That never bothers me. I always feel apologetic for being late to retrieve them. Once, someone even folded my laundry, which was nice ONLY because it was my whites, which is just workout t-shirts and gym socks. No undies, nothing else. I couldn't care less if Attila the Hun folds my workout laundry. But strangers touching my undies? Shit, I'd have to wash them all over again.

Reminds me of the News of the Weird guy who tried to crucify himself - and only figured out the flaw in his plan once he'd nailed down the first hand.

Call me callous, but that never fails to make me laugh.

It's a beautiful mental image. I just picture the guy lying there, getting the second hand into position and then "Hey, wait just a....dang it all to hell."

If the washers are all full with finished laundry, I'll usually wait about ten or fifteen minutes and come back. If it's still there, I'll take it out.

I've folded people's stuff before, cause I sure don't care, but from earlier iterations of this conversation I've learned that it skeeves some people, so I don't anymore.

Stephen Colbert rocks the house again.

What are you implying, Brenda??
