Laundry Room.....

How can people be so frelling inconsiderate???

144 apartments... 3 laundry rooms... 4 washers and 4 dryers in each... I get that that’s not enough machines. I get that some people save ALL their laundry for the last frelling minute when they have nothing but Halloween costumes or prom dresses to wear.... Even though I think that’s frelling retarded to wait so long.... I get that people do it. That still doesn’t mean they have to forget about their neighbors when doing laundry!

I try not to use all four machines at once even if I have 5-6 loads of laundry to wash that I’d really like to finish all at once. I never use more than 2 machines at any one time. Why? So my other neighbors can do at least SOME of their laundry. When moving laundry over, unless I’m in the laundry room alone, I pull it all out as quickly as I can and sort later. Why? So I don’t make my other neighbors wait an eternity to get theirs started. In fact, I move FASTER when I see someone waiting.

All that said.... Tonight I saw my fellow neighbors being as inconsiderate as they possibly could! I walk in and all four machines are being used by the same woman. I know cuz she was in there putting in softener. Okay fine.. Not the first time. I’ll come back later....

Finally get my two loads washed. Yay, small accomplishment. I’m emptying one machine and sorting as I go, cuz I’m in there alone and stalling for someone to empty a dryer. No go, cuz someone else came in carrying a bundle of clothes. So I quickly finish emptying at least one machine so she can start washing, followed quickly by the second one. Waited around for a little bit, but decide to carry both heavy wet loads back... Some of the stuff was hang dry only anyway.

Come back with the sheets to get dried... All dryers are going or being filled... One was being filled by the woman I had emptied a washer for.... But she was doing it soooo slowly. Okay.. no biggie to me right? I was done washing. But then a guy comes in to wash. And missy miss is still pulling out one item at a time sorting between basket or dryer.... ONE AT A TIME.... And I kid you not, it was like a frelling clown car scene... Never thought I’d see an end to the amount of clothes that came out of that washer.... But hey, what did she care, right? Nevermind the guy waiting to wash. I almost said something... Like...."Hey, can you hurry up? This guy’s waiting.. You know.. Kinda like you were waiting for me? And -I- hurried up for YOU."

Pfft.. whatever.. I got tired of waiting for someone to empty a dryer... Returned to find someone emptying one. Yay!..... Sorta... The older woman was taking her sweet ass time folding each thing she pulled out of the dryer. Why do that! Fold your frelling laundry at home! or pull it all out and fold it after. So fine.. I’m waiting and waiting... How much can she have in there... Another woman with a flock of children comes in to empty another dryer... Hmmm... which one will get emptied first... But soon as she saw me waiting, she slowed down ans started folding her laundry too! WTF!? Fine..... Older chick finished and I QUICKLY threw my laundry in and started the frelling machine...

What the frell is wrong with people! Ugh.... Sorry for the rant... Call it a pet peeve of mine... Inconsiderate people in general.. but especially laundry room etiquette.. or lack there of.....
