We live in a triplex with shared laundry. There is something that I find truly annoying and very inconsiderate and wonder if it's just me being petty or if I have some legitimate complaining to do.
I realize we live in an apartment with shared laundry. I get it that sometimes the washing machine and dryer are going to be in use. I do understand this.
What is starting to bother me is that it seems that every time I go downstairs to do laundry, there is laundry sitting stagnant in either the washing machine, dryer or both. I'm not just talking a small amount of time either but hours and sometimes until the next day.
For instance, two weeks ago I went downstairs to do laundry at 9am and there was clothes in both the washer and dryer. I went down again at 1030 to find the same laundry in the same place. I went down again at 130 and it was still the same.
The same has happened again last week. I went down at 1045 with laundry sitting in the washing machine and the dryer. Neither were running. I went down again at 1200 and it was the same.
Today, at 430 Shawn went down to do laundry and there is laundry in the washing machine. I went down again at 600 and it was still there. There wasn't even any cars in the driveway which means nobody was home.
After these long periods of time, I go ahead and fold the laundry that is in the dryer and put the wet clothes that are sitting in the washer on top of the dryer. I once even dried a load of someone's laundry so that I could use the washer and not feel so bad about doing it.
I don't know what to do. Do I knock on their door and ask them to finish their Ahhhh.
