Our small flat during college housed six girls. Although we had a great relationship and enjoyed sharing our home, laundry day always seemed to bring problems. To be honest, we all wish we had thought of this strategy while we were in college. Now let's get back to business: everything seemed to be going OK until OP decided to utilize the laundry facilities downstairs. OP discovers that her clothing has been left wet and strewn on the floor when she returns to the common area precisely sixty minutes later. The only other person in the room responds, 'I needed to take it out when the machine is done'. Naturally, OP could not have allowed the neighbor to mistreat her in such a way. And thus, as one could have expected, OP came up with the perfect plan of revenge. So make sure you keep scrolling to see how OP got even! And when you've finished scrolling, don't forget to read the story about the bank that declined a customer's request to close his account over $0.51 in remaining funds!

    My son had to go on a business trip and I apartment-sat for him. There was a single washing machine and a dryer in the basement, and I put a load in the washer one morning. It said it would take an hour, and I went back down to put the wash in the

    dryer about an hour later. When I walked into the laundry room, a woman was putting clothes in the washing machine, and my wet clothes were in a heap on the floor. I asked her why, and was told that the wash was done, she had an appointment that afternoon, and couldn't waste

    time. When I pointed out that she could have simply put the wet clothes on top of the empty dryer or on the folding table, she said that I needed to take it out when the machine is done. End of discussion. I was putting the wet clothes in the dryer when she left the room,

    after starting the washing machine. The washing machine said there were 55 minutes left to run. I pondered this for a minute or so, and realized that she didn't know who I was. So I didn't start the dryer. I returned about 50 minutes later, with a book to read, and

    minutes later she came in with her clothes, saw there was still over half an hour on the dryer timer, and stood there, not saying a word. I never looked up from my book. She stayed there until the dryer was finished, and

    had to watch me fold my clothes on the table, taking them out one by one, until the dryer was empty and she could load it. When my son returned, I told him the story. He laughed and said he knew exactly who she was.

    vanessa8172. 21 hr. ago I share two washers with 24 apartments so I definitely know how frustrating it can be if someone doesn't swap their load right away. But I'd never put someone's clothes on the floor. That's just _!

    A few people came in after me and loaded machines so that all the washers were in use. Whilst I was sitting there a woman came in and tried to open one of the washers I was using. When I told her those were my clothes

    and to leave the machine alone she tried to claim that the washer was close to finished so it wouldn't matter if my clothes were taken out now.
