Are they BU? Shitty note taped onto dryer in communal laundry.

[whatsthefuckingwrongwithyou]

I live in accommodation with communal laundry. There are only 4 dryers and 5 washers for hundreds of flats (not sure exactly how many but I live at 396).

Tonight, three dryers were sat idle for >30mins. So I snapped and pulled some laundry out and put it on the surface nearby, then loaded my wet stuff up.

I came back to find this charming note taped to it: imgur.com/xmyWg5F

Who is BU?

When I lived in a place with a communal laundry, you always left your washing basket on top of the machine so anyone that needed it after yours was finished could just pile it in there. Surely that is just common sense?

I would put up an "official" notice saying that clothes may be removed at the end of the cycle if not collected. My FIL puts up lots of "official" notices in communal areas of his block - no-one has worked out it's him yet.

It could be worse, OP. You could have had some twat taking your wet washing out of the coin op dryer five minutes after you'd put it on, and drying their own clothes in the 30 - 35 following minutes drying time that you had paid for. I wrote a shitty note after that hapened a few times, would you believe.

I had a similar thing to liz70 It was on a cruise ship and I'd left my washing in the dryer and gone off. I came back about 20 minutes later to check on things and found my damp washing sitting on top of the table and someone else's washing in my machine. I took theirs out and put mine back in. Cheeky fuckers. Their friend was in the laundry and asked me what I was doing so I told her. She claimed the dryer had stopped so they presumed it had finished - yeah, which is why they took damp washing out. I stayed until mine had finished and she left, her friend didn't come back.

It's normal on cruise ships and hotel laundries for clean/dry washing to be removed and left neatly on the side if the owner isn't around and you want to use the machine.

I would set myself a timer for the load then collect it. What are you meant to do, sit there until the 10th of never? Certainly wouldn't be bothered if someone took my laundry out. Odd people.

I had a friend at university who reacted like this when her laundry was removed from the dryer it was occupying well past it's finish time. She was very cross. I told her she was being unreasonable. 100s of residents, 6 dryers...

I once came back to find my wet laundry literally thrown all over the room. I was fucking irate.

Many years ago I lived in a flat with a shared laundry room, it was totally normal to come back and find your washing piled on top of a machine. Nobody was at all bothered - until once I came back to find all my underwear lined up on top of a cupboard as if on display, and one if my neighbours had all her socks and knickers stolen. After that I kept an eye on the time and was sure to be there before the machine was ready, never did find out who it was. Get the heebiejeebies thinking about it still.

But OP no YANBU
