Laundry room etiquette.

**Rain Man** · 01:57 PM

My wife and I live in a house that has a basement apartment, which we rent out. Our current tenant is a young woman in her 20s. (And no, I can't share any pictures without revealing the location of the hidden cameras.)

As part of her tenancy, she gets to use our laundry room, which surprisingly enough contains a washer and a dryer. Occasionally, like today for example, I go down to do the laundry and discover some of her clothes in the washer and/or dryer.

If the machines are running, then obviously I just put my laundry down and wait. My dilemna is what to do if the machines are finished. Sometimes she (like me) will start her laundry and then leave for a while. What do I do? (See poll above.) As an important note, her laundry often includes "unmentionables."

And by the way, stealing her underwear is out of the question, because I'd be the only suspect.

Option 1 is what I would do. I'd hate for people to mess with my clothing so I wouldn't do it either.

**Bowser** · 07-10-2005, 01:57 PM

I used to live in an apartment that would share the laundry room with your neighbor. Sometimes I would leave or just forget my laundry was going, and walk in to find it had been rotated and folded neatly on the dryer. I had an older lady as my neighbor, and could never tell if she was mad about it, or just thought she was being helpful.

In your case, it probablly wouldn't be advisable to fold her undies into neat little four inch squares. And, you might not be able to steal them, but how about you take a picture of the undies, post them here, and charge a buck a view, ala Sixteen Candles?

At a coin laundry those vicious women will take your stuff out of the machine if it's done.

Katipan · 07-10-2005, 01:58 PM

since it's way less creepy for hot young chick to pull old married couple's laundry out than the other way around... you figure out when she's going to do laundry, leave your stuff in the washer for a day or two and see what she does with it.

whatever she does, you do. that includes wearing your drawers on your head.

**Rain Man** · 07-10-2005, 02:03 PM

Uh-oh. The current voting results prohibit me from touching her underwear.

**alanm** · 07-10-2005, 02:08 PM

If you were any sort of gentleman Kevin, you'd be doing her laundry for her. You never know when that sort of thing can pay huge dividends.

4th and Long · 07-10-2005, 02:08 PM

One time, and one time only, you finish her laundry for her. Fold it neatly and leave nice note atop it reminding her that leaving your washer and dryer full of clothes while she is no where to been found is unacceptable.

And yes, you'll have to touch her unmentionables, unless you plan on wearing rubber gloves or something.

Demonpenz · 07-10-2005, 02:11 PM

it's probably not the P.C. thing to do but i would probably sniff the undies and jerk off, but hey i would put them back

leviw · 07-10-2005, 02:31 PM

Scatter them across the back yard except for one pair of underwear. Give those to your wife as a Christmas/Birthday gift. Kinda kinky in a round-about way. Maybe?

**CosmicPal** · 07-10-2005, 02:53 PM

Geez.

Why put yourself through all the trouble, Kevin? This is the kind of stuff that will get you in trouble with the wifey.

Do the smart thing, and have her come over to my place- I've got a washer and dryer in the basement and a refreshing bottle of Canadian Club. I'll help her with the delicates and give her a permanent press cycle.

Frazod · 07-10-2005, 03:34 PM

Personally, I'd give her a few minutes to move the clothes, then knock on her door and tell her to move them. If she doesn't comply quickly, take them out of whatever machine they're in and start your own load. Her rights to use the machines shouldn't include holding up your life.

And when she moves out, I would rework the lease so that the next tenant doesn't have laundry room rights. Sounds like a pain in the ass you'd be better off not having to deal with.

AirForceChief · 07-10-2005, 03:38 PM

Good Lord, I'm very disappointed...this should'nt even be a topic...quite pitifull. Cripes, when someone's laudry is done you just move on down the line...especially when you're already paying for it. Burn up the nice unmentionables: "So Sorry."

07-10-2005, 03:49 PM

I'm a little disappointed in the poll options. I would shed all my clothing and run around naked.... in her apartment. I think that sends a message - lima charley.

**Bwana** · 07-10-2005, 04:02 PM

Hmmm? Wait until she shows up, tell her she has been a very bad girl, give her a spanking and service her. When you are done, tell her "let that be a lesson to you young lady!"
