there's a laundry room in my building shared by all who live there. when i do a wash i am considerate to take out my clothes exactly when the wash cycle has finished thereby not delaying others. it proper fecks me off however when others are not as considerate and leave their clothes well past the finish time. i often feel like removing the clothes but never do. should i though..?


i know this is pedantic


advice please

Lived in a large block until last year, it was understood that one left one's bag/basket atop the machine, if someone else needed the machine before the user returned they just put the finished load in the bag. Seemed to work fine, I assumed that was what everyone did.

As others have said, I'd just remove the stuff. If no basket/bag is available, pile it on top of the machine.


Out of interest, does anybody have their own washing machine in their flat? Or is it against the building rules? I didn't even realise shared laundry rooms were a thing in this country, I thought it just happened on US Sitcoms.

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
