Okay laundry etiquette (discuss):
1 - if you are doing laundry, set a timer and come collect it as soon as it's done! No one wants to touch your wet Calvin Kleins.
2 - if you are waiting to use a machine, and you see one that's full but finished, WAIT FIVE MINUTES. You're an angel if you wait more than 10, but you're being diabolical if you take it out in less than 5. You have no clue if it's just finished. Life happens: sometimes the timers overestimate, sometimes the person is on their way, sometimes they've been hit with explosive diarrhoea, whatever. Wait five minutes. If you don't have that long, come back another time. It's common courtesy.
Some of us have cloths we need to be "sterile" for wound care or food, and some of us don't want a stranger handling our underwear!
3. Using multiple machines at once is fine. Doing this at peak hours is diabolical. By all means, separate your denim from your cotton from your labcoats. But do it when at least one machine is free!
We are living in a community. Time to start acting like it so we can all have a better experience xxxx
