I found someone dumping my clean clothes on the floor after the washing machine was finished. (There were LOTS of open machines, too, which made it worse!)<br/><br/>Since then, I've used a friend's W&D or had my own. It was a requirement when I moved here. I would probably yell at the Hogger.

I don't think I could have stood up for myself like that. The Hogger sounds like she's a bit of a Crazy, and I'd be afraid she'd pee on my laundry or something. The only strange thing that happened to me and laundry was coming home with a new (and foreign) pair of panties, probably left behind when I added my clothes to the dryer. Not as confrontational as a dryer war, but just as scary! <br/><br/>Athena Valentine, I like your style! Wow, good job! I don’t think I could have stood up for myself like that.

Like the fact that drying usually takes double the time of washing makes for a huge backlog. Or people who sneak in before you in line for the dryer... sometimes I had to stay up til midnight to get it, or would just string my entire apartment with wet towel. Ughhh. Why do they never purchase enough in an apartment building?<br/><br/>Now I'm ranting... or the bastard who takes up the only two washers in the building at once?! Should be against the law!<br/><br/>And you did the right thing. Screw that lady. You have no idea how much better my life is for having in-suite laundry.

People would get in fights, or leave notes taped to it stating they planned on using it between certain hours. <br/>There was a point at which when both washer and dryer were being used at once, it would cut power to the entire use, and the persone responsible, a polish older housemate, claimed she had every right to have them both going at once and black out the house. No common courtesy, so good on you for giving it too her. I have been, there I livedin a house with twelve people and we constantly had the washer/dryer going.

Also rude to use 3 out of 3 washers at the same time on busy laundry nights. <br/><br/>Oh man, I'm NOT excited about having to use a laundry room again. Horror flash backs to living in the dorms.
