If you’ve ever lived in a dorm or an apartment building, you know how ugly things can get when it comes to the laundry machines!

It’s dog-eat-dog out there, and this person wasn’t messing around!

Check out how they handled someone who dared to mess with their laundry…

Start now!

Touch my laundry? Enjoy your extended stay in rinse city.

“Someone in my apartment building decided it was totally fine to take my clean laundry out of the washer and dump it on top of the nasty machines.

Why?

Because the washer had just finished—but all the dryers were full.

I had been waiting over an hour for someone to finally clear theirs out.

They weren’t happy about this.

Did I touch anyone’s stuff?

No. I waited, like a civilized human being.

But this person?

They saw a freshly finished washer and thought, “Perfect! Time to manhandle someone else’s damp underwear.”

Bold move.

So, naturally, we waited until their washer finished… and paid to send it for another spin. Bonus wash, on me.

This one’s on me!

That’s 45 extra minutes of quality time with your laundry—because these machines lock up tighter than Fort Knox.

I’m currently debating whether I’m feeling petty enough for round two. (Spoiler: I am.)

Moral of the story: If you touch someone else’s laundry, don’t be surprised when yours takes the scenic route through rinse cycle hell.”

Now let’s see how folks reacted on Reddit.

This person chimed in.
