I think its fine. You can use all of them. There's nothing wrong IMO about removing someone's clothes. I don't care about mine. As long as you put them on the table and not on the ground. Or you can put mine on top of the dryer/washer. I really don't care.

I did this once to someone at 4AM. I guess some jerk decided he wantedt o leav ehis laundry in the dryer while he slept. In fact that's something I do, except I only do it because I don't want to wait till 5am to get it. So usually when I do that, it means I started laundry too late because I'm willing to stay up to 2-3am. So I did my laundry at 3:30 AM once and I was going to dry my crap. I pulled his stuff out because this guy took up 2/3 dryers (the last one is never used because it's a stinking POS old one... no one uses it), so it's more like he took 2/2 dryers. I put his stuff on top of the table with care and it's not a dirty table. I woke up at 8:30AM to get my clothes only to find it in the trash. What a bastard. I remember his hamper and detergent. Next time I see it.. I'm going to pee in his clothes. If I see his car, I'm going to key his car. That's it.

Rule #1: FVCK WITH MY LAUNDRY AND IT'S OVER.

This thread reminds me of how happy I am that my apartment has a washer/dryer included.

this thread makes me fear the remaining 3.5 years I have in the dorms. :( (due to scholarship, I gotta stay in dorms if I don't wanna pay)

You were within your right, if you're not there when the dryer's done then others are allowed to remove them for you and place them somewhere not on the floor

you need to be presented at the laundry room.

it happened to me once. my roommate and i were drying our clothes. i took someone's clothes out of dryer because it was completely dried and put my wet clothes in it. the owner of that clothes became an ass and opened the door then closed it to allow the time to run out. thanks a lot for wasting my $1.25. :|

since that incident, roommate and i stayed there until clothes got dried. however, i'm living off campus which is MUCH BETTER!

On another note, is it acceptable behavior to go into a laundry room with 6 washers and 6 dyers and use every single washer, then use every single dryer? Pretty much making it so no one can use the laundry room for a good 2 hours?

first come, first served. suck it up princess.

I think that people need to be more considerate and realize they ar enotthe only people in the apt. I hate it when they just have they stuff sit there. I have this perosn in my apt who hogs the was every sunday. By 3 PM, I know i will find his clothes sitting in the dryer for an hour (after it dried) before he comes to pick it up.

This is why when I was forced to use public laundry rooms, I always expected to remain with my clothes. I'd bring music and study material and stay there for the entire period. It's just the principal of the thing.

My solution, I'd break ll the dryers. If I can't have dry clothes, no one can. Then I'd make my mom wash my clothes.

Exactly why, like the other poster, I looked for apartments with washer and dryer in-unit ;).

Messing with someone's laundry in a malicious manner should be grounds for getting kicked out of dorms. Living in dorms is like a class. It teaches you how to live as one with the rest of the world in a situation where everyone is happy when you get along... people that throw other's laundry all over the place and hog machines obviously FAIL.

This is an odd situation where I would not hesitate to say that using bodily fluids as revenge is deserved. Call me up. I'll bring a 12 pack and hope to break the seal early.

One of the reasons I'm glad I forked over $200 to buy a used washer and dryer. If I had come in and caught someone flinging all of my clothes onto the floor; I don't care if it is a girl they're about to get their ass beat.

You know that statement says that you WOULD say it's not deserved?
