Skid mark attitude is my new favorite saying! Also gotta say I'd feel sorry for anyone who had to handle my laundry even after being laundered

I've never been to a laundromat that does this. It's pretty fucked up. If I was at a laundromat and somebody else started taking my laundry out, I don't care why they're doing it, I'm going to tear them six new assholes.
If this situation happens to you, just step back and remember it's your own fault 🤙🤙
When you assault some random patron of a laundromat, or the service worker in charge of the machines, I hope they're armed, and I hope they win.
Seems KG is on Lemmy. Get outta here, skid-mark!
Nice trolling.
I hope I encounter you in that situation, because I'll call you a poor fuck (like me) who can't afford their own machine.
I don't have a problem with strangers taking my clothes out of my machine if it's done and I, for some reason, can't be there to take it out myself and the place is packed with people waiting to do their laundry.
Y'all are fucking weird. It's not that hard to wait all 30 seconds for me to walk over to the machine and do it myself. I sure don't trust total strangers around my anything ever.
I don't think the issue is with strangers taking clothes out of a machine that just finished. That would be a weird behavior indeed.
The issue is with you leaving the laundromat, go for a cup of coffee, return two hours later when the cycle finished 55 minutes ago, and whining that your clothes were removed.
I used to live in a condo where we didn't have washers and dryers in the units, and couldn't add them. (The building was originally going to be an apartment, then they decided to sell them as condos instead while it was under construction.) We had a laundry room on each floor. In that situation it wasn't a cost thing. And I've used laundromats even when I did have my own washer and dryer, for things like bedspreads, or when we were on a long road trip in an RV.
In a shared situation like that, it's good etiquette to be ready to remove your clothes when the cycle ends. That's just common sense. Set a timer for a few minutes less than is on the clock. It's not hard. I would give people a few minutes of grace - as it seems the laundromat did - then remove their clothes. They don't like it? Then they can be there when the washer or dryer finishes.
In the condo, one woman didn't want others using the time she paid for even if her clothes were dry, so she'd remove her clothes, shut the door, and restart it. I was waiting a few times when the dryer finished, and no one ever showed up, so I looked, and yep, empty. Thanks for wasting that time of my life, lady, when I could've started drying my clothes 15 minutes ago. And it wasn't like there was ever going to be enough time left for my clothes to dry, so I'd still have to pay. I'm not sure what point she thought she was making.

Meanwhile me with my two decades old washing machine that doesn't have fancy shit like clocks or displays.
But yes, if you're using a shared machine, then be there on time - or expect someone else to do this. You're not entitled to just block it for who knows how long while other people want to do their laundry too.
Oh and pervs typically care for dirty underwear, not clean ones.
I, uh, didn't say anything about underwear...
But even with your old washing machine, I'm sure you have a pretty good idea how long a cycle will take.

OOP did.

Kinda feels like they depend on the weight, but I don't know if that thing is that smart. I typically just set a 3 hour timer on my phone as a reminder, since I had the occasional cases of forgetting to empty it until the next day..........
holy shit
people still use yelp
With gloves? I would praise that laundromat to high heaven if they have the courtesy to unload my neglected laundry with such dignity.
But to be honest I couldn't care less. If you're willing to touch my wornout hole-ridden undergarments with your barehand, then have at it bro.
you should get some nice undies mate. you'll appreciate it.
This. Went from a cheap big multi pack of boxers (I was severely lacking pretty much everything after a rough break-up) to some (reasonably) more expensive ones and good god... So much better sizing and cut. Of course the fabric is nicer too but that's not super important to me. The main important difference is that I don't have to constantly tug them now when I'm out. With the old ones my junk would just hang out the side leg because they were probably designed for Asians or something and the little bit of leg they had would just rub upwards when walking. As someone with anxiety that was so damn uncomfortable for so many reasons.
I got nice undies, I'm not savage. Those are for going outside, like to the gym or camping.
At home tho, the only one who gonna see my dong poking out of the undie's hole is my wife and she loves making jokes about it.
Well, we can't deprive her of that joy, can we!
I can't say I ever had a problem with cordless lamp's underwear.
What about... If you don't want people to touch your laundry, be actually there when it is done instead of expecting everyone else to waste their time waiting for you?
How is someone from Mount Hope, Kansas using the same laundromat as someone from Portland, Oregon?
Searching Lunar Laundry on google maps shows me a spot in Seattle. I'd guess that either KG moved between this post and the screenshot, or hasn't updated their Yelp profile since moving to Seattle.
It was actually a Laundromat in Idaho!
They probably moved to Kansas to hide their shame.
I don't think a person like that is capable of shame.
I think there is a lesson in here
Must be worth the traveling.
