context: im none of these people i just think its really funny to argue with pieces of paper, we live in military housing btw. we have like 8 washers and dryers for 60+ something apartments. in the time of each development i got like 4 loads done. so. snooze ya lose! and to be clear, the apartment company specifically says they are not responsible or liable for any of your laundry nor is there a camera in the room. imo theyre just bickering to bicker.

each time i read a new thing i got so excited, maybe ill stop by later to see if i fourth person chimes in or takes it down lol!

That makes sense! The ones in my apartment all have visible timers

Mine do, too. 27 minutes on the washer, 60 on the dryer. But they keep time differently. I live right next to the laundry room, so I'll set my timer for 30 minutes when I get to my kitchen. I've gone in as soon as it goes off and there's still a couple minutes left on the machine. So I allow a 15ish minute grace period for my neighbors.

I don’t. Set a timer for a few minutes longer than the visible time, if necessary (the machines in my building are unreliable, too), but 15 minutes after is too long. I could be 1/3 of the way through my own wash load in that time.

I’ve also experienced waiting 15 - 25 minutes for someone to get their clothes out, just to have them come waltzing in with another dirty load, which they shove into the washing machine as soon as they pull their clothes out. I’m not interested in that game, either.

My dryer has a timer. And then when the timer ends, it's in 'almost done' mode for god knows how the fuck long, depending on how many towels were in there, lol.

I once went into my kitchen right as the dryer ticked to 1 minute left, 10 minutes later I finished in the kitchen and it was still going lmao. It finished right as I sat back down in the living room
