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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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??

I would get the police involved for sure. But waiting by the machines could work too. That way you could tell him off if he tried to do it again.

Twin tub washing machine will solve both those problems.

I'm going to assume OP doesn't have w/d hookups in her place if she's doing her laundry at the complex's facilities or a laundromat.

Send your undies to me. I'll wash them for you.

You're just as creepy as her landlord

Note to self: to lower costs of landlord-ing, scare tenants from using electricity on laundry by stealing their underwear.

I can actually see someone doing this. Some people are just extremely cheap. I kind of hope that this is the reason the landlord is steeling her underwear since it's a lot less creepy.

Either you can wait and watch your washing. Or continue to go to the landromat. Or report him.

Tell him you wash your clothes at the laundromat so he waits there while you're washing them back there

Or just sell them to him and then laundry costs nothing or you make money?
