Karey Dunken: If that was me, and I saw your basket there and not you, how am I supposed to know your waiting close by? To me it just looks like you left your basket there. Also- I see this as that person got there earlier and first, and if they have 5 loads of laundry, well, tough nookie, they were there first. Next time just get there bright and early or wait in line. But even if you had waited there- if they were set to do several loads then technically they weren't finished. I'd just laugh at that note as well.......Show more
Marylee Lucks: I'm not really sure if there are any standard etiquette practices for laundry rooms or not.If I understand your post correctly, the person who had the clothes in the washers removed your baskets and loaded up the washers again. While I realize your frustration, it seems to me that the person had "first dibs" on the machines since he/she had already started their laundry. It sounds like the person had multiple loads of wash an! d was just trying to get them finished up. Your baskets to "claim" the machine as next in line apparently didn't apply until the original user was done with all his or her laundry.I may be wrong. I'll be interested to hear others' opinions.I think I would just ignore the incident and not send the note. It may cause hard feelings, and when you live in a building with shared facilities, I think it's important to get along with everyone. Who knows when you may need help from a neighbor, or when you might be able to provide assistance? I'd leave the channels open.Hope you have better luck in the future with the laundry facilities....Show more
Corrinne Ruozzo: True...I feel better just having written the note...I'm going to forget about it. Thanks! Sometimes I get frusterated and don't think of it in other terms...but this has helped. Appreciate it!
Stanton Degregorio: leave the note but people rude like this will probably just laugh at it
Barton Slisz: Okay, ! I hear you on this but remember you might have to leave your l! aundry unattended and something bad could happen. Someone I know had a laundry war and bleach was thrown on her clothes.Maybe be more diligent when waiting for your turn, like obnoxious about who is next. I hope just writing about it helped cuz when confronting people we don't always get the out come we anticipated....Show more
Matt Gerdeman: They probably just went under the unspoken rule that it was their turn until they were done and didn't want to leave the next basket unattended. People will steal anything left unattended. Sad but true...This leaves you next in line, but when they are done.
Melina Minneweather: Forget about it. Chances are the person will just ignore your note.
