Accidentally made enemies with my neighbor

[sygyzy]

I deal with this issue all the time and I get extra angry because I am the guy who WON'T move the laundry for fear of creating enemies or having a confrontation. I think it's ridiculous that people will leave their wash or dry loads in for hours at a time when they know it takes 30 minutes for a wash and 45 for a dry cycle. A few weekends ago, 2 loads of laundry took me about 4 hours and this is in a facility with 4 washers and 4 dryers (enough for two loads to run at at time).

I always used to just do homework or something when washing clothes in the dorms. I couldn't afford replacements if someone stole my laundry. So this allowed efficient cycle monitoring and homework completion as well. Win/win. Extra drinking time.

If you're not going to be there when a Load finishes, expect someone to have removed it. Or, if you don't want other people touching your clothes, be there when the Load finishes.

You would catch a beating at best in my neighborhood. If the machines are full. Its best to move on to the next laundrymatt.

Even though they usually aren't free, these aren't "laundrymatts." Those are inherently commercial and will lose business if they don't have enough machines for peak usage. You could drive elsewhere as easily as you drove there. Communities with a shared laundry often have laundry room keys issued to residents only and don't have to worry about not having enough units because proximity and the lack of nearby alternatives = "you'll be back"

 

[alkemyst]

yea you are a dick for doing that, i'd be pretty pissed too.

you could have just waited like 5 minutes for someone to come and take their shit out.

<-- has shared laundry room.

QFT...yeah there is a timer, but it's pretty much common courtesy to give it a 5-10min wait prior to touching others clothes.

what a fucking dick.

 

[alkemyst]

lol at the comments from those that act like pussies in reality.

The OP and others have repeatedly said they do allocate 5-10 minutes for someone to get their clothes. You actually think people are there ready to rip out someone's clothes the moment the timer goes off?

HELL FUCKIN YEAH THEY BEST BE READY FOR DAT SHITTTTTt

This thread is full of people wronged by vindictive assholes.

This thread reminded me of the time my rooommate in college got angry that someone took his stuff out of the dryer EARLY while it was still wet. He pissed in the dryer. A lot. Mmmm, dried urine. The laundry smelled bad for a while after that.

The inconsiderate person who leaves their laundry in the machine is the victim here? And the people who remove the clothes after waiting their turn are the assholes?

I hate when people do that to me. I live on a floor with five other apartments. If they can't wait 10 mins for me to get my stuff they can go fuck themselves. I don't want so dirty stranger touching my clean clothes.

Unless the person saw the cycle finish, how do they know how long the clothes have been there? I would personally give 5 minutes, whether I saw it finish or not - after that, tough shit, it's being moved.

Agreed. Also if you'd get off AT occasionally and interact with other people, you wouldn't think of your neighbors as "dirty strangers."

If this is true, then either be there or shut up. The power... is YOURS! [/CAPTAINPLANET]

Otherwise, you have no right to complain. The person kept waiting has every right to complain because they have no power other than taking your clothes out. If you don't exercise your power, expect them to execute theirs whether you want them to or not. That's the way the world works, but I can't expect this generation of ego-maniacs to acknowledge eachother.

 

[God Mode]

I'm with OP. The world is not your personal playground where you fuck with other peoples time.

 

[hans030390]

TBH I wouldn't want some I didn't know handling my clothes.

It's just clothes...no big deal...

NO timer on the ones at my apartments. Not even an estimated run-time.

 

[Dumac]

I usually give them a generous 30 minutes to remove their clothes. Then, if that runs out, I'll remove them myself.

I once had some chick get all bitchy at me for removing her clothes 2 hours after they had finished. What a bitch, whining about how she now has to wash them all over again yadda yadda yadda.

I wanted to tell her to go fuck herself, but being beta as fuck I didn't.

 

[SphinxnihpS]

Move to a house and buy a washer/dryer. Eat cake motherfuckers!

He knows what he does with other people's panties, and like most people assumes everyone does it.

 

[Terabyte]

lol i would have been like "uh...i just got here, and it was empty, so I'm putting my clothes in..."

 

[zinfamous]

I give them ~10 minutes.

if shit ain't out by then, I toss their wet clothes into the hallway.

i'm sure that if they sat in the washer for 2 hours...they'd need to be washed again, anyway...

I had douche-bags like that when I lived in an apartment. They would fill up all the washers and then leave for hours. When they finally would come back they would walk into the laundry room and bitch about their clothes "being touched" and would loudly threaten to throw other people's laundry on the floor. I opened the door and let them know not to touch my stuff. They eventually got evicted for domestic fighting in the hallways and for the guy setting his own car on fire in the parking lot.

Then I had a crazy Nigerian neighbor downstairs, and he did the same thing with his clothes. I put his clothes in his basket and when I came back out to get my clothes out the washer (yes I use the timer on my microwave) there was a note in my basket telling me "nobody touches his wife's clothes". No sooner did I read it, he came running up the stairs screaming. He grabbed my basket and threw it at me. I told him he was a P.O.S. and if he was unwilling to get his clothes on time, I would do it again. He then threatened to "cut me" and I asked him if I needed to call the cops. He told me "I ain't afraid of going to jail" and then just stared at me for a moment before walking away. If I had my concealed carry permit at that time, there would have probably been one less Nigerian scammer in the world.

I hated apartments. Then end.

LOL @ classic Internet Tough Guy comment. You're telling us that if you had a gun, this situation that was resolved peacefully would have ended in cold blooded murder? Hahaha. If the guy really deserved to be taught a lesson, what was wrong with fisticuffs?
