Sharing a washing machine and a dryer with your neighbor is less than ideal. Kind of like having a roommate that you have to consider each time you do… well, anything in your own home. If they are using the washing machine, you just gotta patiently wait your turn. Not everyone was raised with these basic manners, and that is where you can find yourself in some deep, dark, murky waters where the word revenge starts rampaging your brain quite a bit. 

While scrolling r/pettyrevenge, I came across a post that reminded me of the 'good ol' days' — the days when I had to deal with this kind of BS. Unfortunately, I didn't have an assertive bone in my body back then, so I did not choose to do what u/undecyded did — which is some sweet, petty revenge. If I ever have to live with another person again, I'll know who to turn to for advice, that's for sure. Scroll down to read how she did what she had to do. When dealing with petty… you gotta be pettier.

Speaking of selfish peeps… check out this kid who was a total jerk to her mother. Heads up — when your dad cheats, don't take his side cuz his new girlfriend is cool.

The fact that her clothes were already placed in the machines (+ the timers on the other two)and running tells me she had to know that my timer just finished. So I stayed down there to supervise the dryers, because I didn't want her to touch my clothes again in case I needed to add extra dry time. She came down right before my dry time ended and I saw her use a Clorox

    Font - clean clothes on. She put her wet clothes into the one dryer that was available, and seemed to be waiting around for me to empty my dryers. As soon as the dry time ended I did a check and although my clothes were dry enough to take out, I wanted to inconvenience her. I closed the doors and added an extra 45 mins to both dryers. She went upstairs after seeing this, leaving her wet clothes in the washers. I then took my clothes out and left the dryers to complete the cycle on low. When they

    Font - going to wait for me to come down, or open them and realize what I did. For reference, there are three ways back into the building- the exit only shortcut to the front of the building/sidewalk, the long way around through the backyard/parking lot and the elevator (which is out of order). I took the "exit only" shortcut and noticed that she stuffed tissue paper into the lock, so that she didn't have to take the long way when she came back down. I removed the paper to lock her out and place

    Font - PickRevolutionary565 14 hr. ago Communal washers are such a mine field. If you come down to use one and there are clothes in one, either that person will stay away all weekend if you leave them in the machine or they will come into the laundry 60 seconds after you take them out. Super awkward
