I was doing laundry in the dorm laundry room last night. Since people are typically too lazy to come pick up their drying as soon as it finishes, the people waiting behind them often take the liberty of moving the clothes out of the dryer onto these long tables in the middle of the room.
As I was loading up the bleach, two girls who were friends came in to pick up their drying. It turns out that their clothes had already been moved onto a table, arranged so that they were sandwiching some other guy's clean clothes like so:
[Edge of table]
[Girl 1's clothes]
[Guy's clothes]
[Girl 2's clothes]
[Edge of table]
Girl 1 spotted her precious blouses in contact with a boxer and squealed, "Ewwww, gross! Why did this guy have to put his clothes touching mine?" She then shoved the guy's clothes towards the other end of the table, which in turn shunted Girl 2's clothes off the edge and onto the (rather grimy) floor.
Next Girl 2 returned from searching her dryer and saw her clothes on the floor. "God, I really hate people sometimes!" she hissed, apparently not realizing that her friend had pushed them there. Both of them continued to bitch about humanity in general for the next minute as I prepared for some late-night laundry homework, and as they were walking out of the door Girl 2 muttered, "Somebody's going to get their karma coming to them".

lol wow people are so shallow. Who cares if the clothes are touching? They are clean...
Sounds like they need some karma coming to them, not the other way around.

People need to get their fucking clothes out when they're done. This is a problem in public laundromats, campus ones, as well as in homes. Why is this a problem? It's so easy.

I hate dorm laundry so much. There's always a line, I always put too much in trying to get good value but really everything just ends up coming out wet. In rare occasions I come back to see someone took my clothes out of the dryer before they were done.
I'm so happy I never have to go to the laundromat / dorm laundry / building laundry again.

Yeah, it's easy to get annoyed when some people do completely forget about their clothes for several days at a time when there are only a limited number of machines to be utilized by the entire community. This is why I set a timer on my phone so that I can pick them up on time, therefore avoiding having my clothes on the table, where laundry detergent or bleach could possibly harm my clothes.
Something that bothers me however is that my laundry room only has 4 washers yet it has 8 driers with twice the capacity of a washer..

It's usually just you putting in your laundry and then forgetting about it while doing something else for a few hours. It's happened to me a lot.

The lady in one of the attached apartments to my building folds my clothes if they are done and she's doing hers.
Kinda creepy.

There was a girl in my freshman dorm when I was in college who did this. Made me feel weird knowing some stranger folded my underwear.

Because a wash run is ~30 min and a dryer run is ~60 min...

On the plus side - dorm laundromats can be a good place to meet girls living in the same building/complex. Remember that.

I tend to do my laundry in the morning, where I put it in the dryer before my 8am class. I don't get done until 1. Sure my clothes taking up a dryer for a couple extra hours is not ideal, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

This is why I would do laundry at like 2-3 AM in college. Plenty of free machines to choose from.

My last apartment was in a building with shit laundry rooms (1 washer/dryer per floor of 12 apartments or so, and me + 5 others in our apartment alone). Getting laundry done sucked. One time someone took all my stuff (sopping wet) out of the dryer and put his shit in. When I came back to get my stuff....he was long gone. After that I started paid my roommate to stand guard. Fuckin thieves....

Same thing happened to me. One day, I came to pick up my laundry and they were in my basket all nice and folded...happened twice...i was so creeped out...
and laundry is clean and smells good...such a nub for freaking out T___T

What pisses me off is like, I would use my good cloth hamper to bring my laundry down since the older one might break or tear a hole, and i leave it specifically on top of the laundry machine i use, and naturally some fuckwad decides that its a good hamper to steal to take his clothes
10 story dorm wiht 50+ rooms per floor, so I'll never see it again...gg

seriously, you should have left a little thank you. college kids who throw a load in a communal washer and leave for four hours should have their fingers smashed. 95% of people would throw that shit on the counter or somewhere even better

LOL never though ppl would have to hire security just to guard laundry. Hope you have a better laundry situation now!

@OP: I don't see how Girl 2 could be so oblivious if they came in the room at the same time... is the place really big or the layout that complex?

I don't get the last part about homes... don't families usually just wash their clothes together? I don't think this is a "cultural" difference; however if you live in a house with non-family members then I can understand.

Hahahah, I was in such a bad mood when I wrote that post earlier. I dunno, when I lived at home I always went to do laundry only to find wet clothes in the washer or dry clothes in the dryer. It frustrated me. But Chill's right, people have a tendency to forget because it's a long and boring affair. When my family did it I got annoyed the most because it's just common courtesy and I KNEW they were just watching TV or wasting time some other way.
