Dont leave your clothes in the machine all night. - pro tip
CaffeineManic
So, this guy put ALL his clothes in the laundry and walked back to his room in his dirty underwear. That's a college education in itself.
ErikaRasmussen
This happened to me in college. It makes my chest ache now to remember how much that messed me up. Good luck to that poor person. ☹️
PrisonGuard
When I was in military. Asshats would take laundry out of washers and dryers before they were done. Leaving my uniforms on the ground.
PrisonGuard
I finally got sick and tired of it and anyone that removed my shit I immediately threw theirs in the dumpster. Took about the sixth time.
emkev
Incorrect use of whomever.
kenethc
Update?
hotshotberad
Still missing. Called management to see if cleaning people took to lost and found but no dice
SlightlyAngryAtAllTimes
Someone once pissed in my clothes because I was 20 minutes late to get them out of the dryer at WSU Stimson hall.
coolbaldman
Set up a just giving or fund me page and let us know the details. We can help that bill out huh imgur?
ISniffedGinOnce
Who steals dirty laundry from college student??
Trimule
Had it happen to me in the 70's-absolutely shocked- had no idea that someone would do that with other people around
forreallyandfortrue
Someone who either threw it away or will wear it & get caught.
ugunaeatdat
Another poor student

"Oh, look - someone's clothes are in here. I *want* that T-shirt, but I know I can't just steal *it*. I know - I'll take *all* the clothes!"

Today we learned the lesson of "Don't leave your valuables unsecured."

But what if nothing you own is worth more than treefiddy?

That's dirty. A dirty deed.
WellThatsOriginal
Done dirt cheap?

Thank you. I tried to put SOME effort into it.

BlueDragonGod
... ur suppose to stay and watch ur cloths ... not that it give people a reason to take them. Sorry it happend.
TheWorldTraveler
I live in Fort Wayne, I want to send that student something. PM me the info.
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
If you have to worry about losing your clothes, then keep a better eye on them
ReaperNo1
Imagine this guy just walking around in his socks and underwear.

How bout we make a funding for that App. #2 guy?
candiduscorvus
Probably thrown away, not stolen.
hotshotberad
Checking dumpsters daily and nothing
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
I'd feel sorry for him but Rule #1 of Laundramats is dont leave your shit unattended.
hotshotberad
Not a laundromat. A communal washer dryer in small apartment building
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Same thing. Its a place where multiple unassociated people go to do laundry. This rule is as old as clothing has existed.
Shrewmancer
Well you've left out the information we need, such as where this happened, and left in his name which we probably shouldn't have.

1st day of living in a college dorm someone stole my Jack Daniel's poster. I put on a suit, claimed I was the dorm "safety director" and 1/2
AccurateUsername
This.Is.Awesome.
NikkiDeeee
2/2 went dorm to dorm w/ a pen & clip board, saying I was doing "safety checks" for fire hazards, & checked every fucking dorm for my poster
NikkiDeeee
Also, the stranger I asked to dress up and come along with me (to make it look "more legit") became my best friend.
NickRivieraMD
Did you find it?
NikkiDeeee
No one had it! The poster was lost forever. But I gained a lifetime partner in crime.
NickRivieraMD
Your suit?
LanaDelReyy
I wonder if it was your friend who stole it!!!
TheInternetShouldHaveAClosingTimeSoICouldSleep
Skeatsie
Had to do this once. Clothes returned after notice posted. But then I had to ask for my bras and panties to be returned too.
MrJimmyRustles
Was it a dude that had your undergarments? If so, that is some next level weird shit. Hoping you rewashed them before wearing any...
Skeatsie
Never found out who, but I feel it's safe to assume yes. Also, yes on said rewashing...cause that was super sketchy.
TwokN
That's adding insult to injury.
Skeatsie
Sometimes people are just assholes. But, man, don't take my favorite bra....that shit just isn't cheap.
TwokN
Honest question from someone that doesn't wear bras: What makes a bra a favorite? Color? Design? Fit? A bit from Columns A/B/C?
Skeatsie
All three, at least for me.
RegrettableDecisions
For me it's comfort and color. I love sport's bras because I tend to run a lot.
lilibalboa
Last year i had to work night shift on Christmas eve and someone stole my coat, so i went home just with my stupid tshirt on
ThatOneFriendWhoTriesTooHard
Time to raid campus lost and found. Check the dorms and the Union for your size.
briham
Ok, I’ll be the asshole and ask: did he leave them sitting in the dryer for hours and hours? ‘Cause I hate those people.
hotshotberad
They were all dirty in a hamper in the laundry room while he waited for someone else to finish. He went to his apt to wait
aroseisaroseisaBITCH
He said it was in a "hamper" so I guess they were already out? But I agree, I hate people who leave it in the machine, taking up facilities
briham
Good spot. I guess that means he saw the machines were full and didn't feel like hauling his laundry back to his room while he waited.
aroseisaroseisaBITCH
Which is entirely reasonable! And it's a shame that people will actively steal dirty clothes
briham
And why did he have to wait? Probably because some bastard left their laundry in a machine for hours after it finished! Fuck those guys!
aroseisaroseisaBITCH
Exactly! We're full circle because of one bastard.... OP even confirmed it! So guess our guy is the victim here, but good sleuthing, crew!
hotshotberad
Purdue University student in Westridge II building.
xomoosexo
Hey I'm at Purdue too!! I'll keep an eye out I suppose
Jebbernaut
As a current student at Purdue, I would never leave my clothes alone. In the dorms I would study in the laundry room
xomoosexo
Some people say that and others leave their wallets on the tables in Wiley. It's crazy how much trust people place in strangers
partyonstrawn
I'll send some clothes! What size they need ?
NotaCorgiBandit93
Westridge 2 is a Granite Apartment. As a fellow alum I had never heard of it so I looked it up with Google.
hotshotberad
Granite aka Purdue's shitties landlords. Hear about the story where they through away ALL of a girl's stuff over the summer?
NotaCorgiBandit93
Yep as far as I know she is suing them.
hotshotberad
I hope she wins a lot but they threw away irreplaceable stuff which just hurts my heart

Yeah what size are you? I'm a girl and wear an adult small... But I can try and hook you up with some extra clothes from my friends?
hotshotberad
It’s a dude but thank you!
hotshotberad
Actually, if you're willing to, I volunteer at HVAF (Hoosier Veteran's Assistance Foundation) and they have a new female that is in need
PrincessNakedMoleRat
I'll send that person a pack of underwear.
hotshotberad
Male or female?
PrincessNakedMoleRat
Whatever floats his/her boat.
hotshotberad
The person that posted this is a guy, but you can go ahead and send female clothes :P

Westbridge II? They were giving away free clothes there earlier. Pretty nice stuff

I go to Purdue (typing from Cary) and this is the first I have heard of anything like this. I thought we were better than this...

Sorry to hear, man. But as a Purdue alumn out for 7 years now, where the fuck is westridge?

It's a Granite Apartment building. As a fellow alum I had never heard it either so used Google to find out. Sorrt bout your clothes bro.

I am the Westridge building itself and even I haven't heard of myself.

I'm a current student and have no idea where that is

Near Triple XXX

Side note why does everyone abandon their clothes in the laundromat? I am the only one in my apartment who waits in the laundry room.
sourcandy
I don't because it's creepy and there are creepy people in my building. Nothing stolen so far though
derock789
My laundry room is like 100 degrees and humid as fuck. I'm not spending any more time in there than I have to.
Febelas
You can also just figure out how long the machine takes and set a timer. Hard to steal someone's laundry when they're sitting there.
grimmia
I used to do my homework in the laundry rooms when I lived in the dorms
Blud4BludGod
I used to get high as fuck and then sit in the laundromat starting off into space, back in the day. Sometimes I even did laundry
reversebacon1
Yes
FBGNorvilleBarnes
I sure wouldn't if it was the only basket of clothes I owned.
miados
its a good time to get some reading done
Derodric
Laundry takes about an hour where I live, and the room is small and often over 100 degrees with no seating.
OopsieDaiseys
I have to open the door to the laundry room, you can sweat a gallon a minute in that thing otherwise
Livlalala
I always took the next days seminar required reading to keep me busy.
rizion
Because public masturbation is frowned upon
birosa
Creepy people live in my apartments that I'd rather not talk to, even when I'm wearing headphones they still try.
nipil
This. Don't fucking leave your possessions unattended.
teddybonkerrs
My laundry room is pretty much a broom closet. There is barley enough room to turn around in there.
JeffreyDohmerWithAnO
I would in college but at home in my apartment building I wait upstairs. It's a tiny room and gets ungodly hot in there.
hwyckoff
You're not the only sane one. I get a folding chair and sit in front of the washer until its done. That's when I can read books.
Fzoid
I've never done this and not once took someone my clothes. Question is were do you live I guess.
BookieeWookiee
Probably
FarmingFarrier
Had mine stolen while I took my kid to the bathroom...was only gone a few moments...otherwise I would never leave it unattended...too risky.
WyrdJamie
When I was in an apartment, the laundry room had enough room for the units, space in between to open/close, & a sink. Also, no A.C. or heat.
Syralight
I have never waited. But then crime rates are low in my country.
dandelionbomb
Laundry time is the best time. Kick it in the laundry room. Arcade it up in that laundry. Read a fucking book for laundry time Or do nothing
PrincessOctopus
One of my dorm buildings the laundry room legitimately only had enough room for you to walk in and put your laundry in the machines.

chckenchaser
I want to pitch to you my idea of a laundromat cafe, because who wouldn't like to sip on drinks comfortably while waiting for laundry?
hurdleturtle13
My friend went to one!! It's called Spin and we're in the Portland OR area
ohjohnboy
They have one in Charleston SC. Most ppl now just go for the sandwiches because they are delicious.
forgotmyoldusernameclassic
In an old US sitcom they had a bar in a laundromat. Seems like it would work well.
CelticPuppy
Yes... it takes a long time
CelticPuppy
If it was a laundromat public building, then it makes sense to stay. But in an apartment complex laundry room, you shouldn't have to worry
HaniiPuppy
Are washing machines really that rare there? I'm in Scotland, and even the most dire flat has a washing machine.
keillrandor
I just wish I had room for a dryer aswell...
Garousen
Most complexes here have a communal laundry room, I would guess to cut water bills.
modularized
Even in scotland if you're in halls at uni you're not gonna have your own washing machine.
angerfart
The laundry room in my building is super hot and humid. It also smells like a dead smoker's corpse.
TaintedTruffle
Maybe y'all should remove the corpse?
idiotcube
The corpse is a member of the campus community and has as much right to be here as the rest of us.
foxfire1112
Ok, please dont write a big dramatic note if your stuff gets stolen
Corrodias
why
wetsalmon
They're just desperate, someone has fucked them up hard and they don't have clothes anymore, what else can they do? Excluding crime
foxfire1112
I know man and I feel bad but there is an easy solution to this. Watch your stuff
Eltuen
I know if I were in that position I just wouldn't have expected my clothes to be stolen, not something that immediately comes to mind
Harryurhandsrfreezing
I went to college in New Orleans. We had Suds n Duds. You could do your laundry and grab a beer.
finewine8888
I went to college at Drake in the 90s and we had a suds and dudes
velociraptorpanda
Not going to lie, read that and thought of that Disney channel movie "Brink". Team Pup N Suds.

There used to be a Wash and Slosh in Saskatoon, Canada but these fat cat farmers tore it down so they could plant a whole new crop of corn.

RubberChickenTenders
There is a special place in hell for someone who steals laundromat clothes. Laundry room needs cameras.
jennym123
And Bicycle thieves!
BarillaB
Mine in college did. CCTV from the laundry room out to the dorm rooms. We called it the Laundry Channel.
jo3v
Here in Darwin, they do... if it isn't bolted down it's going to end up as a projectile in a B&E.
DerekGamble
Is it common for people to leave their clothes in a public place? Why would you not stay with your clothes?
Mavgurian
I couldn't even use a public machine to begin with - bless you mom for letting me use yours still! (I really need a bigger apartment...)
facktrick
If someone takes my clothes out DURING the cycle I paid for and puts in their own (with mine still wet), I throw away their clothes.
facktrick
only happened once, but still. I mean if my time is up, that's one thing (you should be there), but half way through? Come on man.
Quaddamn
They should for a lot of reasons. In my apartment complex there was like, 4 rapes and 2 knifepoint robberies that happened atthe laudry room
IamJustinSane
What an odd place to rape. I'm no expert in the field, but I'd think you'd want more privacy.
Quaddamn
Well, you'd think a pinball machine would be a weird place to rape someone too, but that didn't stop that one movie from doing it.
CelticPuppy
You my friend, need to move
FarmingFarrier
I had someone steal more than half my wardrobe and most of my children's clothes from a laundromat. Toddler and less than a year old kids...
smirkinghighgardenwhore
I'll never forget the time I saw my mom sob on the floor of a laundromat after discovering someone had stolen mine and my brothers clothes.
smirkinghighgardenwhore
They weren't even nice, or new, but we didn't have much. I hated whoever did it, not bc they took my things but bc I knew it hurt my mom.
1stw0rldissues
Laundromats actually exists irl and not just in american TV? :o
IamJustinSane
They are very real. Most apartment buildings have one, and then there's ones in a strip mall.
1stw0rldissues
Sounds like a retarded system, why not have laundry rooms for appartment building with electronic locks that only open to person that booked
ssyoda2
The same level reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theater.

ILoveBabyBats
I had my best cardigan stolen from a dryer once ????
sidroski
Dang it man, you don't put cardigan in a dryer! Thief probably saw you put it in there and saved it for someone who appreciates it.
ILoveBabyBats
It was a cotton/hemp blend.... tag said dryers were okay.....
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
You got me thinking, they should spit out a token unique the the machine. And you can only get your clothes out by returning the token 1/2
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
But if you lose it or don't return within a given time the manager will be able to open it, and remove clothes or replace key.
KiyaSeraphia
It's a good idea, and I'd like to see it implemented, but many laundromat owners will default to the Liability Sign to be cheap/lazy saddly.
Mavgurian
Problem being the people that think "I can pick them up whenever I want then" and block the machine for hours..
McGreed
Just add an incineration button that activates an hour after the wash is done, that people can then press to free it up.
pokebug666
I think that is covered by the "don't return within a given time" bit, though I'd make it auto-unlock, not require a manager.
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
Then your shit gets stolen, the 3rd option here is automation where it removes that load and stores it... $$$
CelticPuppy
Yeah! Why the hell don't they?
SpaceISIS
the one at my complex does
Elusivehawk
Because that would cost money.
Northeman
Bad school
kookyabird
Because they usually have signs telling people they have to stay with the clothes and that they're responsible for them. Stupid liability.
JeffreyDohmerWithAnO
It's dumb but it is what it is. I made the best of it after having my clothes thrown on the floor multiple times. Just hang out and study
PoppinLochNessHopster
Sit in the corner with a steel pipe.
kookyabird
I have removed others' clothes from machines several times. I given anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes before I do so, and that's after who 1/?
JeffreyDohmerWithAnO
I get that 100% but it's because of people throwing my sopping wet clothes out of the dryer is why I started staying in the room.
kookyabird
2/? knows how long it was already sitting after the cycle. And I always move them to a clean place, or an opaque bag if there are intimates.
HD226868
What, so just sit there twiddling my thumbs for upwards of an hour?
Mmill123
If you're such a lazy shit, buy a washer for you place, so you don't have to leave
FlamingIdiot
Yes, because there are hook ups for that shit in a dorm/ apartment
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
You could browse imgur...
kookyabird
If you want to protect your stuff, pretty much yeah. I don't babysit, but I do return right before it finishes. No problems yet.
RubesCubes
An hour is not a long time. Jesus, read a book or something.
