Moral dilemma

[Nebben]

I'm trying to do a lot of laundry in a room shared among the floor of my apartment building. There was a load in the washer, someone else's, mostly towels with a few shirts. I moved it to the dryer.

My load is now done in the washer and the owner still hasn't returned/started drying them. Do I throw some quarters in there and dry it for them, risking shrinking something and pissing someone off but maybe making someone happy and getting the stuff out of my way?

Or do I just set 'em on top of the dryer and dry my own stuff and let them deal with it?

Thank you for your input on this important and pressing issue.

Dry your stuff and let them deal with it.

 

[JoeKing]

throw it back in the washer

 

[Ns1]

throw it out onto the sidewalk and set it on fire. that'll teach them. inconsiderate assholes.

 

[waggy]

put them on a table or something. Do not start the dryer or anything.

 

[ognabor]

leave it. i can't even fathom why you'd feel compelled to do anything else.

Here's my 2 cents...

It's common courtesy to wait maybe 15-20 minutes after a wash or dry cycle has completed before taking the other persons stuff out of the machine to start your own load.

After 15-20 minutes, the message from the person who hasn't picked up their laundry is I don't care about my clothes, or about wasting your time, because I'm an inconsiderate person. Why give any kind of consideration to a person who obviously has no respect for the needs of others when shared equipment is concerned?

Put the clothes on a table or top of the drier and forget about it.

All that being said... is is a pet peeve of mine when someone removes my clothes from a machine and it hasn't even been 5 minutes since the cycle has ended. Geesh!! a little patience please...

Last semester at college I had my clothes in the dryer and since the dryer runs for exactly 1 hour, I set my stop-watch for 50 minutes. When the alarm went off I went downstairs with my magazine to wait for the load to finish and some dumb-ass bitch was taking my clean clothes out of the dryer and putting them on to the dirty washing machine. I said "WTF are doing???" and she said "Oh, I thought it was done". Yeah ok...they were "done" except the dryer was on and the big red digital numbers on the outside said ":07" still. :roll:

Needless to say I took my clothes back up to my room, then returned in about 15 minutes and opened up the dryer with her clothes in it. I didnt do anything to them, I just stopped the dryer so when the idiot returned in an hour to get her clean clothes...she would be in for a pleasant suprise. :evil:

Here were there is a single washer and dryer for 11 apartments, the common courtesy is to wait at most 1 minute. It sucks when a girl catches you removing her clothes from the washer because she lost track of time.

This happens to me all the time. I have never removed someone else's laundry but they have removed mine. Twice. And got caught both times (different people). The reason is because I am literally 5 minutes late returning (I have a timer). That tells me they can't even wait 5 minutes. I've waited over an hour for other people's.

My question is this: Are you guys ever concerned that the moment you start removing someone's clothes from the machine (god forbid it's a girl and you have her thong in your hand), the owner will come in?

Don't remove the items one at a time and you won't look like a prevert. Of course if they laundry is all thongs you might look like one, but so is the chick so what difference does it make.

And here I was thinking two wrongs didn't make a right.

i guess its cool if you dry them for her, unless you are doing it out of guilt for smelling and fondling her undies.....

eek! never dry someone else's things -- there could be shrinkage, discoloration, tears, etc. the person who's stuff you're drying may just wait there and devastate you when you come back to get your stuff.

[SirStev0]

1. take their stuff out of dryer and place back into washing machine.
2. place your stuff in dryer and dry your cloths.
3. inconsiderate ass who didn't check the machine will not be the wiser.

 

[Anubis]

in college some ass actually took my stuff out of the dryer while it was going and put their crap in, so i peed on there clothes
