Miscellaneous: Today, I did laundry in my apartment complex's laundry room....

By Miserable - 11/11/2009 07:06 - United States

Today, I did laundry in my apartment complex's laundry room. I put my stuff in the dryer and returned to my room. The sign on the door says the laundry room closes at 10 pm, but that's rarely true. Tonight it was. I have to wait until 8 am. I work at 7:30. My work clothes are in there. FML

Today, I finally got around to doing laundry. The washing machines in my condominium building take about an hour to do a load. When I returned to throw my clothes in a dryer, I realized they were never washed in the first place. I used my card and detergent to pay for another person's laundry. FML

Today, I went to do the laundry at my hotel. I had just enough money for my two loads. After getting frustrated with the washer taking two of my quarters and giving no credit, I took the clothes out. The washer then locked the door shut and started without my clothes. FML

Today, I went to the laundromat. I put a load in the dryer and walked away to check on my other load. When I came back, I saw a homeless man putting his dirty, wet underwear in the dryer with my clean clothes. FML

Money for nothing

By CollegeGirl - 01/05/2009 21:15 - United States

Today, I did my laundry in my dorm. After dragging 2 hampers down 4 flights of stairs, my ID card with money on it was rejected. After dragging it back upstairs, I scrounged up enough quarters from friends. Thirty minutes after finally starting my laundry, I realized I forgot to add detergent. FML

Today, I was washing some clothes in the laundry room at my apartment complex. I went back an hour later, passed my neighbor on the way in, and moved my clothes to the dryer. I just brought them back from the dryer, and all my underwear are missing. FML

Today, at the laundromat. I loaded a huge load into the top dryer, put all the quarters in, and started the bottom one. I realized my mistake when I came to check on it. FML

Today, I went to move a load of laundry out of the washer and into the dryer, but the clothes were already in the dryer. Normally, I would be happy about this. However, I am currently living alone. FML

Today I remembered to put my work uniform in the wash; as I hit start I got an email notification. My landlord confirmed that the engineer will be out to fix the washing machine tomorrow after my housemate reported it as broken. My clothes are locked in the machine that now won't turn on. FML

Today, I started some laundry late at night. Once my clothes were in the washer for about a half hour, I got bored and I decided I would listen to my iPod. After looking for it for another 15 minutes, I remembered where I'd left it; in my jacket... which is now nice and clean. FML

Heavy sleeper

By PolarBear2020 - 27/07/2021 21:58

Today, maintenance was supposed to come in to replace my broken washer. I worked late last night until 4 AM, and then dozed off. I slept so soundly that they managed to enter the apartment, haul away the broken washer, and install the new one, all while I was fast asleep in the next room. FML

1. You don't leave your laundry, people can take it. 2. It says that it closes at 10. 3. YDI

If it is a uniform, sometimes they only give you one.. op deserves it for assuming the laundry room would stay open, but he doesn't deserve all of the insults you're throwing at him....

Good rule of thumb: if you can't afford to be wrong, don't risk it.

wear sweats to work, explain why you're dressed badly and don't push your luck next time.

8am is pretty late for it to re-open again! It should be 6, or at least 7!

Dude... don't you have other work clothes?

Well, the sign's there for a reason. And also... that's why you should do your laundry BEFORE you run out of clothes. So that you still have clothes if something happens to your laundry.

He should not have risked it knowing that the room closes but he can't necessarily be blamed for waiting until all his work clothes were dirty. He could have a uniform. I was only allowed 2 sets and many times had to work three days in a row meaning I needed to do laundry the night before work to avoid showing up in dirty clothes

If the sign says it closes at a certain time, you assume you need to be done by that time, even if it generally is open a little later. At the very least if you were still doing laundry you should have stayed in the room in case someone did come to close it up, you could have just asked them to give you a few minutes to finish up.
