Today, I spent over $20 at the laundromat doing two weeks of laundry, just to avoid using the facilities in my apartment complex and having to deal with my creepy landlord trying to steal my underwear again. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm so broke, I resorted to breaking into my old apartment complex to do my laundry in the basement for free. FML
Today, I finally got around to doing laundry. The washing machines in my condominium building take about an hour to do a load. When I returned to throw my clothes in a dryer, I realized they were never washed in the first place. I used my card and detergent to pay for another person's laundry. FML
Today, I went to do the laundry at my hotel. I had just enough money for my two loads. After getting frustrated with the washer taking two of my quarters and giving no credit, I took the clothes out. The washer then locked the door shut and started without my clothes. FML
Today, I did my laundry in my dorm. After dragging 2 hampers down 4 flights of stairs, my ID card with money on it was rejected. After dragging it back upstairs, I scrounged up enough quarters from friends. Thirty minutes after finally starting my laundry, I realized I forgot to add detergent. FML
Today, I went to the laundromat. I put a load in the dryer and walked away to check on my other load. When I came back, I saw a homeless man putting his dirty, wet underwear in the dryer with my clean clothes. FML
Today, I did laundry for the first time in weeks. Feeling productive, I dumped everything in, including what I thought was my pile of towels. Turns out, I washed (and shrunk) my roommate’s $200 wool sweater. She found out when I proudly showed her how “clean” everything looked. FML
Today, I went to pick up my laundry from the communal machines in my apartment building. When I got there, all my clothes were neatly folded on top of the dryer. I was impressed, until I realized half of the pile wasn’t mine. I'd been carrying someone else’s underwear up to my apartment. FML
Today, I was washing some clothes in the laundry room at my apartment complex. I went back an hour later, passed my neighbor on the way in, and moved my clothes to the dryer. I just brought them back from the dryer, and all my underwear are missing. FML
Today, after my washing machine broke yesterday in the middle of a cycle, I went and spent $1400 on a new one. Also today, my dryer started to smoke and almost caught my clothes on fire. There goes another $1000. FML
Today, after my landlord has refused to fix the bathroom plumbing problem in my apartment for several days, I had to buy cat litter for myself. FML

Sit by the washer while using it, muttering creepily. Might put him off?

Sit and wait with your laundry? You obviously have enough time to drive and wait at a laundromat, you can sit and watch your washing??

Won't hurt to try this, OP. I'm assuming you would have to wait at the laundromat with your clothes anyways. Also, there are probably multiple washing machines at your apartment complex (from history at living at one). In the 2-3 hours it takes for the laundry to be done, you can always read a book while you stay with the clothes.

I laughed. Sorry.

No, no, NO. We were SO close to a laugh-free FML!

I much prefer the laundromat myself; only $1.50 total per load: 6+ loads @ a time! lol WiFi + adjacent tavern for soda + adjacent diner for carryout :-)

File a complaint w/ local law enforcement, who will put him on notice - tho he might then feel the need to retaliate.... :-(

I doubt he'd retaliate. Short of mobsters and gang members, usually when someone knows you're willing to go to the police, they back off. I don't think your run of the mill pantry snatcher is that vindictive.

*Panty snatcher, not pantry snatcher. Don't worry. Your canned goods are safe.

He's more like a pant-lord I think

And have to talk to Mr Creeper? Possibly while he tries to steal her underwear? Fun.

There's always the option of just washing your underwear in a separate load. Underwear at the laundromat and others at the apartment complex. Doesn't solve the creepy landlord, but at least you don't have to buy more underwear.

Wait for him to come down and do his laundry. Then steal his boxers... That might make things interesting.

use pepper spray on your underwear and give it to him lol

Hold a voodoo doll with his name on it. And start chanting. It will work. Creep the creeper.

I feel you OP, creepy guys suck. I have a few cafés I've had to stop using because the guys working there have been after my number/given me theirs, won't take no for an answer and it's gotten hella awkward. I'm not out of pocket going to a different café though...maybe you can find a time when he goes out each week and do it then? He must go out sometimes?

The workers behave that way?? Pathetic. You should file a complaint with their bosses. Even if you don't plan on going back. They're probably doing this to other women and you'll be sparing them the same headaches. Some people have never been trained to respect boundaries.

Hmm, well they were small independent stores so I'm not sure how bothered the bosses would've been...I think the guy might actually have been the boss at one of them. I probably should've done anyway though, at least at the other two, but I just didn't want to go back really; guess I'm a coward. But not completely without reason.
