A letter from a concerned citizen
Feb. 27th, 2005 04:07 pmdear denizens of monroe 1st and/or 2nd west,
it has come to my attention that as of saturday, february 26, some serious misconceptions of common courtesy have resulted in flagrant and repulsive abuse of dryer etiquette. now, i am quite aware that monroe is currently only blessed with one working dryer, giving the perpetually sped state of A7 and the new and unfortunate grease-producing track of the dryer with the hole in the side, next to the soda machine. i am also aware of the fact that naturally, one would want to use the dryer in the middle which actually works. however, i feel it is in extremely bad form that, when you have unloaded your first load of laundry from the machine, you refrain from asking any persons lurking around looking hopeful whether they wish to use said machine, especially if they have been so kind as to wait a few minutes for your arrival, rather than dumping your stuff on top and losing your socks. now, it is true that this is not a formal convention, but it seems only fair to those of us who are not such bums in waiting to do laundry that we require 2 loads to dry our things. on a similar note, i would like to register my displeasure at those of you who find it completely unobjectionable to, after drying a relatively small load, then proceed to unload your garments and not only commandeer the dryer for another load, without inquiring whether anyone else wishes to use the contraption, but also devote the entire load to a set of sheets. what the hell. surely you can fit one effing set of sheets in with the rest of your laundry. i do it all the time, including with those awesome really soft sheets that i, too, possess, and which i can assure you are no worse for the wear from including them while drying my other items.
in conclusion, i suggest that it would be advisable to moderate your extreme suckiness in your dryer-monopolistic tendencies, as these are not only entirely unflattering but also perturb me a great deal and, dammit, i have matches and i know where your clothes are.
thank you very much for your time and consideration,
me
