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

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 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, I went to the laundromat for the first time. I fit all of my clothes into two washers. Not knowing where to put the soap in, I asked a man doing his laundry, "Excuse me, where do I put the soap in?". He replied, "Ma'am, those are the dryers." 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 saw a hot guy at the laundromat. Wanting an excuse to talk to him, I tossed a pair of my red underwear into his washer. What I didn't realize was that he was washing his whites. Thanks to me, he now has an entire load of pink shirts and boxers. 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, while at the laundry mat, an old man kept putting extra quarters in my dryer. I didn't realize until a while later what he'd done, just so he could keep watching me bend over to see how much time was left. FML

Today, I went to the dry-cleaner's and went to get my bag of laundry from my trunk, but I ended up dropping the bag. My dirty underwear blew around the parking lot. I had to chase it all down as a bunch of people looked on. FML

Today, after putting a bag of dirty laundry in the laundry room to wait for an open washer, I came back to find a "free stuff" sign on all of my expensive jeans, new towels, and favorite sweatshirts. The bag was over half empty. FML

Love Will Tear our T-shirt Apart

Today, I did my laundry at a laundromat. When I came back to get my clothes, I found an elderly man wearing my favorite Joy Division t-shirt, and he refused to give it back because he said it was his. I spent a few minutes arguing with him, before realizing I had grabbed someone else's clothes too. FML

Meh. Take them out and donate a dollar to getting him his own dryer.

60: I completely agree that his actions were wrong. Being homeless doesn't excuse bad behaviour, but some of the comments above regarding homeless people in general were just disgustingly ignorant and rude.

Disgusting. You should have dragged him out to the curb and thrown him into oncoming traffic.

what kind of laundry place do you go to?

I'd have given him some money myself, so he could wash and dry his clothes, but once he decided to steal from me by hijacking my load, my generous nature would have been offended. Charity is good, and those who do good will be rewarded, but theft is theft, and this crossed the line.

Ok, honestly, to all the people saying " WAA WAA... Let's feel bad fir the hobo." eff you! I bet you wouldn't appreciate it if you caught a homeless person sticking his piss/shit soaked knickers in with your clothes, and don't even pretend like you'd just let it go. Also, my job happens to consist of cleaning up after the buggers, and they have no respect for people or public property. They are on the streets because they choose to be there. Nobody is forcing them to be there. Just a lifetime of laziness and a 40 ouncer of colt 45.

So let me see if I have this right... This man has no home, likely no money to eat everyday, and has to resort into sneaking his underwear into other peoples dryer so he can have dry underwear...and because you may have to re wash your clothes...your life is ******..think about his life. I would have taken him to walmart and bought him some clothes and a whole pack of underwear. Let's try and keep things in perspective here.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime. How can a man (even a destitute one) further develop himself if he isn't held responsible for his actions, especially such flagrantly antisocial ones as these?

If it was me I would have screamed loudly, startled him badly that way, AND prevent him from continuing- I'd force him to take his clothes out! You should have warned the guy that it would have been far better to just ask for some spare change. Just because a man does not have a home or much else does not mean he has an excuse to neglect his manners. If anything manners probably could help him get stuff back in the long run! And I strongly suggest you go to another laundromat where the washers and dryers automatically lock after you turn them on so that no one can try to mooch off your money.
