The laundry room downstairs currently looks like several people's closets have exploded. There are piles and piles of people's crap all over the place. Now, come on, folks! How hard is it to obey a few simple rules?
1. Do not indefinitely leave your laundry. I'm pretty sure the pile of guy's socks/underwear has been down there so long now that its owner cannot possibly have any of those items left. I don't want people touching my stuff...especially bras and panties...so I retrieve my clothes in a timely manner. I wish more people did the same.
2. If you indefinitely leave your laundry, do not flip out when someone moves it. Story time: Sometime last year, I needed to do laundry and while all the machines were finished, they, of course, were full of abandoned laundry. Well, I generally prefer not to move people's undies (eww!) and usually wait a little while (I check every half hour or so), nobody ever came to empty their washer so I chose to move someone's sheets. Oh boy. About 45 minutes later, I was down there again putting my clothes into a dryer when the girl whose sheets I'd moved came to retrieve them. She went nuts: got all red, had the bulging forehead vein going, and stormed about the room, mumbling about how now they needed washed again. Omg, get over it, they're your sheets and HELLO?!? YOU LEFT THEM FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR AND A HALF!
3. Don't waste a washer. A few weeks ago, I opened a long-ago finished washer to discover one towel. ONE TOWEL. That ONE towel was still there the next day, btw. There are no words...
4. Yes, boys, girls wear bras. Please do not gawk while we're washing them. Granted, I live in the Honors College and well, some of these guys have never even talked to a girl... But still, awkward staring only makes me think you're more of a freak than you probably already are.
5. Don't leave dryer sheets on the floor. This is very importants. Why?, you ask. Because clumsy people like me can very easily step on them, helplessly flail about and land in a very painful split. The garbage can is only 2ft away!

Hey, be nice to the geeks... Not only am I one, but I mean, come on, you're dating one! :-P
It's interesting to watch people, especially the girls, though, wash their "unmentionables." They all try to hide it... I don't stare or anything, but I do watch out of the corner of my eye as the girls try to sneak the bras into the washer while no one is looking; it's kinda humorous... Maybe they do want us to think that they don't wear any; I dunno. I, on the other hand, could care less. I fold my clothes in the laundry room, boxers and all, whether people care or not.
Oh, and my favorite... Last year, a friend of mine had a little plastic ball to wash her bras in... I guess it keeps 'em nice or something. It was orange.
