My Laundry Room Suck

Correct their grammatical errors and then write a note saying something along the lines of "10% F-. See teacher after class." Really make them feel like an idiot.

Honestly, I can see why it would be jarring to realize someone had touched your clothes (could be a pervert, you never know), but if you're THAT worried about it, stick around and watch your clothes. How is that a hard concept to understand for those people?

If their note made me angry enough, I would have whipped out a pen and wrote them an answer.

"Don't want me touching your clothes? Then come get them yourself, you inconsiderate cow."

I was half tempted to pull their note out of the trash and start correcting their grammtical errors and putting it on the front door.

NOrmally, I don't care but that's when I'm home and doing my own laundry. When I'm looking at a 2 hour drive ahead of me, my time becomes a little more precious.

It was in my mom's apartment complex. I learned a long time ago that if I wait for some people, I find that I'm waiting a couple hours. I've had times where I've taken their clothes out, finish my loads and still have the loads on top of the dryers.

In that case, oh well! IMO, they are being VERY inconsiderate hogging washers/dryers for however long they feel like it. They deserve their clothes "touched". And you'd think this might spur them to get their stuff sooner.

They don't know it's you, do they? I mean unless they saw you do it there's no way they know?

EDITED to add: and so what if they were gonna come get them 5 minutes after you did? Or that you got them 5 minutes after they stopped? What are you, psychic? If it happened to me I'd probably just assume they needed to wash something, STAT!

There are a few neighbors we have who get downright nasty if you touch their laundry. One in particular went off on my other neighbor for touching his "pantaloons".

Not to sound like an ass, but if you don't want people touching your laundry, then get a good idea of when the dryer is done.....

This is why, where I work, we have a strict policy that only attendants such as myself can remove clothing. Because customers will get VICIOUS with each other over laundry! People are as weirdly territorial about laundry machines as they are about parking spaces.

Every two weeks, I have to go up to my mom's to do her shopping and her laundry. This past weekend was my weekend to do so. Anyways, there was someone using the washers before me, so I waited for them to be done so I could put my mom's clothes in the washer. So then I waited for the dryers ahead of me to finish so that I could put the clothes in the dryer. I even gave the people about a 5 minute window to take their stuff out...they didn't so I did. So as I go to claim my mom's clothes, one of the dryer doors was opened and there was note on it (this is coming from memory):
"To whoever took my clothes out of the dryer, don't touch our clothes. The dryer's were done at 10 after and you took my clothes at 15 after. Thank you for being so inconsiderate and impatient".

Normally, I would wait but I still had to do my mom's shopping and I had a 2 hour drive after that. I guess the note wouldn't have pissed me off...but the turning the dryer off did. Fortunately, I was checking the dryers with about 15 minutes left and there was still enough time to dry the clothes in there.
