Please don’t walk off for two hours and leave your clothes in the big machines unattended. It’s nice that you’re having a wash day with two huge loads but I’m pretty sure someone with a big ass comforter would like to use the only two big machines on the lot... And you used both of them.

Please come back and remove your shit already.

I do not miss landromats at all. Or “community” laundry rooms.

I might be a horrible person, but if they are AWOL, take it out and leave it on a table. I haven’t had to deal with college dorm laundry rooms in years, but the skills learned there were valuable. If they left, it’s open season.

I used to do the same. If you don’t care enough to attend to your stuff, I’m not going to care for you. I don’t miss those days.

Yup, university residence was enough community laundry for me, and I never even had stuff stolen...

I've never experienced them before. I'm not Christian, but thank the Lord.

The worst thing was at an apartment complex I lived it ages ago. All machines were ran with quarters and were timed, naturally. But then I’d leave my machines as they ran, and other people would open each one hoping they were empty (EVEN THOUGH THE MACHINE IS CLEARLY IN USE) and then not shut them. So what happened was, my clothes would not get washed but the timer would still tick. I’d come back 45 minutes later and everything is sopping wet and I have to pay for ANOTHER cycle and hope no one fucks with my shit. What should be hours became 4 hours or more, and I basically had to police my machines. Fucking... arg!

I’m not sure what was worst, when I had to carry everything up/down three flights of stairs for two years; or when I lived in an apartment complex without laundry, so had to carry everything to the nearby dorm.

I never had stuff stolen, but it was cutthroat finding an open machine. I’m still bitter about when I waited for a dryer to turn off, emptied it, and then while I went to get my wet clothes, some girl stole the dryer.

It sucks either way. The last apartment I had, the in building laundry was so crappy and so expensive, I used to go to a laundromat anyways.

This is why you don’t leave the laundry room. Stick around and use the time to study or read.

I did the same.

Some jackasses would throw the clean clothes on the floor. I’ve even seen clothes thrown out the window. Not that I witnessed it happening, no, I just saw the end result.

It never made sense to me - the person who had their clothes tossed knows which dryer they were in. The situation was always ripe for retaliation.

There’s some big advantages to using the laundromat. All of your laundry can be done in just a couple of hours. Now that I have a family of four and we have one machine to do all the laundry, it seems that we are doing laundry all the time.

I have only ever used a laundromat in Germany, but common etiquette allowed you to remove the dry items and place them atop the dryer or in the owner’s basket. Nobody gets to hog a dryer.

Throw that shit on the floor.
