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.

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

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.

nooooooo, not the pantry snatcher of all people

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.

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.
