Public Laundry Room

Ok, so here is something that goes on at my apartment complex.  Each group of buildings has one laundry room.  Our group of three buildings has one laundry room with 3 washers, and 3 dryers.  From time to time, someone will use all three washing machines, leaving none for others that may want to do their laundry.


When I do my laundry, I usually stick to using just one washer and dryer.  I will typically have one load in the wash when one drys, and switch them when the dryer is done.  Seems like a fair idea to me - if we were living in a house, we would only have one washer and dryer.  These also leaves two washers and dryers for other residents to use.

Well, today someone decided to be rude.  I had a load in the dryer, and one in the washer.  When I came down to switch my laundry, someone had put my clean, wet clothes from the washer into the laundry basket I had left in the room.  All three washers were now in use!  Does this person think that I do not plan on drying those clothes?  I think I will check on my laundry in a little bit, to make sure that my clothes are still in the dryer!
