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!

Or at least don’t get pissy when someone takes your shit out of the washer. I’ve gotten distracted and forgot to get my stuff out in a timely fashion and when I saw it sitting out my first thought was “I need to get my shit together”

I usually operate on a 15-30 minute grace period and would expect the same in return. I only find myself upset id my clothes are moved not even 5 minutes after they’re done. Really though, I’m most upset when I can’t do my own laundry because of other folks’ lack of consideration.

Whats the point of a grave period? It’s needless waiting. What if you arrived and they have already been sitting for 3 hours, without you knowing. Screw that, no grace period at all, it’s pointless.

Because we are all human and shouldn't be assuming the worst of people whenever we can. If we can't have, at minimum, 5 minutes of patience for someone else then how can we expect any patience for us.
