robert in sacramento found this one on the wall of his apartment building’s laundry room. says robert: “on the surface, i don’t think this sign is too bad. the underlining of “time” and the “thanks a lot!!” at the end push it over the top for me.”

    It actually says Laundy, not Laundry, and is capitalized for some odd reason. Maybe Laundy is a pantheistic god that someone’s doing against the wall?
    I wish I knew how these people think.

    I don’t think the “thanks a lot” puts it over the top. The underlining, maybe, but I have to have sympathy for this person. That has to suck.

    I agree with the person who submitted it: the note would have been perfectly okay without the underlining and the exclamation marks. This way, it sounds frustrated and aggressive.

    @ cranberry: Maybe Laundy is a pantheistic god that someone’s doing against the wall? Ooh, dirty! ;-)

    it is more assholish to do laundry at inconsiderate hours than to leave a note asking for otherwise.

      I think that it is perfectly acceptable to do laundry any time you wish. I used to work until late in the night, and had to do laundry after I got off work. I was unable to do it before work because every stay-at-home-parent would be trying to do laundry during the day.

      The issue is with the person that accepted a bedroom/apartment behind a laundry machine, not the people that use the laundry machine.

    interesting. they could manage the more difficult “consideration” but then messed up the much easier “laundry”. no spelling bee for you!

    Looks like the note-leaver rented a place adjacent to the laundry room, which is apparantly open 24-7. Too bad for him, I guess.

    It might not be an “indecent hour” to do laundry if you work overnights like I do. If the laundry is open 24/7, then it’s not rude to go do your laundry on your nights off… when else are you supposed to do it?

    It just sucks that someone has to live on the other side of the wall.

    what I’m wondering is, who the hell designs buildings with a bedroom right beside the laundry? everywhere I’ve been, the laundry has always been in the basement.

    I agree with kris.

    I lived in an apartment that was adjacent to the laundry room — the window in my bedroom was at a right angle to the window of the laundry room, if you can picture that. The building used to be a dorm and I think they added the laundry room on. Anyway, people would tromp down the hall past my apartment (and the others on the floor) at every hour of the night, and when they turned the light on to do the laundry it shone into my bedroom even through blinds and curtains. It was very irritating, but I never put up a note because I figured if they knew there were apartments there and didn’t care or couldn’t help doing laundry when they did, then a note wasn’t going to change anything (except maybe piss people off). I’m not passive-aggressive, I’m passive-passive ;)
