So I'm doing laundry last night, along with just about everybody else in the building, it seems. I'm waiting for a dryer to finish, so I can toss my last washer load into it, and this woman puts a few things into another dryer. My dryer finishes, but my washer took longer than expected, so it's not done yet. The woman asks if she can use said dryer, and I say yes, because of course, it's not my dryer. So she puts a few more things in there. Then, while I'm waiting for my washer to finish, she puts stuff in two more dryers. Finally, my washer finishes, and this lady tells me there's an empty one over where she is. Somehow I managed to bite my tongue and refrain from asking if she was sure she didn't need that one too. Good thing, too, because it wouldn't have ended up quite as ironic as intended, but anyway. So as I'm loading into this dryer, lady expresses her amazement at the number of people who don't clean out their lint traps when they're done. Brenda's thoughts: "OK, true, but what amazes ME, lady, is that you can be using FOUR dryers on what is obviously a very busy night in the laundry room, and still have the audacity to bitch about other people's lack of consideration." A few minutes later, she is indeed putting things into a FIFTH dryer. I shit you not. FIVE dryers. On a weekend. In a building with 20 floors of people. What that fuck. And they were tiny loads, too. She could have easily done it in two machines. AND, despite them being small, she wasn't putting them on for short periods of time, either. Apparently four dish towels takes MORE than an HOUR to dry. Seriously, the only way she could be less considerate would be to actually remove other people's clothes before they were done. Just blew my mind a little. And here I was feeling slightly guilty for using two machines at once.
wtf,
