Laundry Room Psychos

May 22nd, 2006

I have decided that no matter where I go, no matter how hard I try, the laundry psychos will find me. Let me start by giving you a brief history, my first completely off campus, out of home experience, Brandon and I had an apt together in Brookings, it was great, it was big and nice, huge rooms, close to school and work etc. Well about 3 months after moving in I had my first experience with the laundry psychos. I was doing 3 loads of laundry and I had put them all in the dryer, later that night I sent Brandon to get the laundry and I folded it in the morning, and I noticed something strange, I wasn’t folding any of my underwear, and I know for darn sure I had been wearing some the week before. Turns out som psycho freak dug through all of my dryers and stole every single pair of my undies, my bras and my camisoles, etc (if you wear it under your clothes they took it). It sucked because not only did some psycho perv freak have my undies, but they were all nice Victorias secret stuff, and that stuff isn’t cheap!!!! Ok next home…. Brandon and I move into a nice apt in Sioux Falls, close to work etc etc… after about 2 months of living there some psycho chick used to go in right after I put my stuff in the dryers and pull it out while it was tumbling to dry her stuff, granted she only stole about 75 cents, but still!?!?!?!?!? come on how lame do you have to be. So I decided to confront her, I sat on the floor behind the dryer with my laptop (wireless internet is so great!!!) and waited, about 15 min later she came, opened up my dryer and started pulling my stuff out, and lo and behold, there I was. I asked her what she was doing, gave me a blank look and said, “Oh, is this stuff yours?” SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!! What the HELL is wrong with people?!?!?!? Yeah, it’s mine you psycho. Needless to say she quit taking my stuff out. Like 2 weeks later someone stole my really nice pier one imports laundry basket though. I put up a nasty note and got it back a week later. OK next apt (still in Sioux Falls) this time Brandon and I had our own washer and dryer (HALLELUJAH) So no problems there. Well as you all know Brandon and I are now living in Los Angeles, and so far so good on the laundry situation, until today…. I was getting ready to do some laundry (Aiden was asleep it was the perfect time) so I walk down with my stuff (luckily we live next to the laundry room) and I saw someone walk out just before I went in. (Little did I know she was a laundry room psycho) so I started my loads. She came back about 5 minutes later and gave me a really dirty look, snapped at me for having my landry basket on the floor (where else should I put it?) and then tried to steal my fabric softner, I looked at her and told her it was mine, and she looked at me and was like, “oh, really?” No, dumbass, I’m just saying that to piss you off, of course it’s mine and why on earth are you trying to take it? She was in a bad mood, or maybe has permanent PMS but she was obviously upset that I caught her. SO she left in a huff, and I saved my downy. I have a feeling she wanted to do another load of laundry, but I am not sure, I guess I would have been upset too I suppose. But she does not own the laundry room, and her stuff wasn’t in there, I didn’t move anything of hers she had no right to steal my downy. So that’s the saga of the laundry room psychos who follow me wherever I go. Anyone else have a laundry room horror story?

    Jess,
    That is too funny!!! I don’t really have any experiance with doing laundry outside of home. Although I remember going to the laundry mat a few times in Sioux Falls when we would go for State Soccer. We would have to go to one, because we couldn’t afford to stay in a hotel that had guest laundry. I remember my mom buying these little boxes of detergent, and I was like “This isn’t going to help us, a family of 6!” so she usually ended up buying like 2-3 boxes a night just to do all of our soccer and reffing stuff. I remember playing with the large carts reserved for laundry. Oh come on, what are 4 kids sapposed to do at a laundry mat?? :o) Love you babe, and hope that she doesn’t get the satisfaction of actually stealing something, especially your Downy!
