Today is a day of boredom. The past week has been a week of boredom. So today, my options were to watch the College Basketball Tournament or do laundry. I opted for laundry. So I started sorting all my clothes out...white items....black items....blue items....red items....sweatshirts....towels....and undies. I'm set and ready to go. I grab my bottle of detergent and I grab my $1.50 in quarters and head to the laundry room. Wouldn't you guess it? Someone has used up all 3 washing machines. Which is perfectly fine when I do it. But NOT fine when someone else does it. So I wait. When 30 minutes are up I go back out there to find that they have taken someone else's laundry out of the dryer and put it on top of it. They have filled all 3 dryers with their laundry, and also filled 2 other washing machines full of clothes leaving the middle machine, which for whatever reason does not get all of the water out of the clothes so they are sopping wet and need to be in the dryer for 2 cycles. Anyway. I'm desperate. I have nothing to wear not even a pair of underwear so it had to be done. I toss a load of undies in the machine, not even thinking it's the one that doesn't work, and then I throw in 2 sweatshirts just so I have something to wear for tonight. And it's a sweatshirt that I don't mind drying. I head back after an hour to check on the laundry situation. Well their clothes are done, but they aren't out. So I'm getting frustrated because I need to do laundry. My husband and I can not go to the bar naked tonight...it wouldn't be good for business! I come back in, I waste time on the computer, I go back out. Still nothing. I'm getting pissed. I come back in I start venting I wait. I head back in there and they have yet to come back for their laundry, nor have the people that had their laundry removed from the dryer from the person using them now. So I decide I'm sick of it. I take a load of jeans out of the dryer, I'm courteous, I don't want to touch other people's underwear and I wouldn't like it if my underwear was on display so I take out the jeans. I put em on a washing machine that has clothes in it that are dry, quarters in the little slots but the top is wide open. I close it and put the clothes on there. I throw my clothes in the dryer and throw one more load of laundry in because for some reason a washing machine opened up with out the exchange of the clothes in the dryer. I go back to check to see if MAYBE just MAYBE they would have removed their clothes yet. ABSOLUTELY NOT! If I leave my clothes in there that is perfectly fine! It's great and wonderful. But if someone else does that is NOT OK! So I take the clothes that I put in the other machine that had opened up and put them into the one that doesn't work just to sit there and throw another load in. I checked the dryers incase a miracle happened....no. But I did notice that someone put money in their dryer but didn't push the button to turn it on. This pisses me off because I could be using that dryer! So I started it for them. I just went back to check on my clothes that are sopping wet to run them again. Nothing different. I'm angry, I'm furious, I want to go knock on every door in this building and ask them if their clothes are in the laundry room and if they are they better get em the hell out. The clothes I want to take out next are damp. I want to be a jerk but I don't want to be a jerk. But I have 1 hour to dry two loads of clothes in one dryer that takes about an hour to dry! OH the stress! I NEED CLOTHES PEOPLE! I don't care if you need clothes! All that matters is that I do! COME AND GET YOUR LAUNDRY OUT OF THE FRICKEN DRYER!

So in closing, it's ok if I leave my clothes in there for ungodly amounts of time, don't worry about me. But it's not ok if you do it. Especially on a day where I want to do laundry!
