folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Ok OOT, I'm curious what others would do.

I live in an apartment building, one laundry room with washer/dryer on each floor. Earlier someone needed to use the dryer, and several of my towels were in there, done, but I hadn't picked them up yet.

So the guy folded them and left them on top. Pretty considerate, right? I definitely appreciated it. Now, the situation has changed some, and his stuff is in there, done, and I need to use it. However, his stuff is an assortment of pants, socks, and underwear.

What do you do? (I think its clear but I remember a post where others went with a different option so I'm curious...)

Steal all his underwear.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Folding towels <<< folding underwear, socks, and pants.

But if you see his towels there in the future, you owe him.

I thought this was gonna be a poll about how gay this is

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Give him a 5 minute count to get his stuff. If not, remove and use.

If he has not retrieved by the time your load is done, replace.

Fold the pants
Burn the underwear

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Towels are easy to fold, I would probably fold your towels and not even think about it just because it's the easiest way to stack them on top of the dryer.

Folding clothes is harder, and I'd think someone was a bit weird if they did that to my clothes.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

I always love it when I come back to the laundry room and my [censored] is folded. Makes my day. IF he did it to you, I think its not unreasonable to do his this one time. Except the underwear.

Just make sure his stuff is dry. One of my biggest peeves is when people take wet [censored] out. I usually end up taking theirs out and putting it back in the washer.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

All,

So, this basically confirms how I feel. Towels are one thing, but folding another guy's boxers? Nah, I wouldn't want someone touching mine either.

Still, so far 3 have voted for it! Surprises me...

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

wait, there is a basket nearby? In the basket it goes.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

I would fold towels. I suppose if you are sure its the same guys stuff and he had some shirts or pants MAYBE I would fold those, but that would seem to start a very gay pattern of feeling obligated to doing something that you really shouldn't be doing.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

i think you should at least put them in the basket in somewhat of an organized manner.

like you dont have to fold everything perfectly but maybe fold the jeans and shirts in half and then throw the socks and underwear on top.

The past few years I lived in my fraternity house. We had a laundry machine in the basement.

Most people folded each others clothes if they were done in the dryer and they moved the clothes from the washer to the dryer if necessary (and if the clothes in the dryer were done they would fold those clothes.) It was a nice thing to do, people like to have their clothes dried and folded rather than wet and sitting atop the dirty dryer.

Since we were all friends living together it was natural to do the nice thing for your friends. I can't believe the poll results so far. You guys are a real bunch of [censored].

And lol at not wanting to touch underwear. They just came out of the machine. Stop being such panzies

Cracka, NL,

I agree. I basically put some of the bigger items into the basket in a somewhat organized manner, with the other things going where they may.

Fiji,

Its not so much that i think "OMG could i turn gay from touching them!?" as "eh i don't want someone else folding ALL of my stuff, just putting them nicely in my basket would be what I'd prefer."

Also, this isn't a frat house or a dorm with friends, I've never met the guy before. In my book I'd like a couple "hey how are ya" before I'm folding his boxers.


Plus, I already pushed someone's car out of an intersection today; I'm done saving the world, for tonight at least.

Don't you guys touch each other's underwear regardless of where it currently is or has been?

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

folding his clothes is a little 2 gay for my taste , next thing u know he's going to be leaving seductive pictures of himself in his laundry 4 u 2 find ...

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

This happened to me about 2 weeks ago, someone removed my recently dried clothes and folded all of them... the folding of my underwear was very attentive as well.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Once when I was newly married I had to have surgery,at the same time my wife herniated a disc in her back and we were both totally laid up. My father came in from out of state to basically give us a hand. My wife had managed to throw some laundry into an apartment machine. My father, trying to be helpful, grabbed some stuff out of dryer and started folding. I heard a loud shriek and stumbled out into hallway. My father was folding this chicks underwear from down the hall and she screamed because she thought he was some kind of freak. Overreaction on her part, but seeing the expression on my fathers face was priceless. This story reminded me of this, and no I wouldn't fold some guys underwear. Too gay.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Guess u could fold his non-underwear items and just chuck the underwear in unfolded.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

If you need to use the machine fold his stuff if you're going to take it out otherwise leave it in the machine.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

wait for him and ask for his number. then you will know if you should be folding his underwear or not.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Is folding another guy's laundry like mowing another man's lawn?

I guess none of you guys have ever done time in prison. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

On this issue, I'd think it was nice of him to fold my towels, but I'm not about to extend the same courtesy. If I had asked him to do it, that's a different story.

People who leave their [censored] in the w/d for more than 10 minutes should consider themselves lucky their [censored] isn't thrown on the floor/pissed on by cats.

Will never live in a place w/o in unit w/d again.

how [censored] hard is it to set a timer and pick up your clothes ontime???

i am back in my laundry room either right-before or right-as the machines finish.

real consideration FTW

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

Who folds socks and underwear? It just gets thrown in a big drawer, right? It's ok to fold the pants.

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

maybe he was too busy doing other oddly considerate deeds

Re: folding another guy\'s laundry
 

1) Would you fold a woman's laundry, INCLUDING underwear, in that type of situation?


2) Fold the things that need folded- shirts, mainly- maybe pants. Socks, underwear and other things don't NEED to be folded right out of the dryer, to save their appearance.

Put the unfolded stuff in the bottom, any folded stuff on top and use the now-empty dryer.

oh, and leave him a note thanking him for the towels, you ungrateful tool
