Miscellaneous: Today, after putting a bag of dirty laundry in the laundry room...

Today, after putting a bag of dirty laundry in the laundry room to wait for an open washer, I came back to find a "free stuff" sign on all of my expensive jeans, new towels, and favorite sweatshirts. The bag was over half empty. 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 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 noticed some of my things in my slob of a roommate's piles of clothes. I found six pairs of my underwear that had gone missing. Turns out she hasn't done laundry recently so my underwear drawer was her own personal Victoria's Secret. I hadn't even worn a pair yet. All six were stained. FML

Today, I came home and saw my roommate had taken out the garbage for the first time in the three years we have lived in the same house. Unfortunately, the bag of laundry I had by the door was taken out with it as well. 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 the dry-cleaner's and went to get my bag of laundry from my trunk, but I ended up dropping the bag. My dirty underwear blew around the parking lot. I had to chase it all down as a bunch of people looked on. FML

Today, I put all my clothes into two piles. One pile had clothes I usually wear, the other clothes I wanted to donate. When I was done, I put the piles into two jumbo trash bags. I came back a bit later and they both were gone. My mom donated both bags. I have no clothes. FML

Today, I went to do my laundry. Having no laundry bag, I put clothes in a suitcase and headed to the basement. When my roommate saw me, she burst into tears with happiness. 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, I woke up on the couch and realized I had fallen asleep while doing laundry. Ran to the laundry room, and found all my clothes gone. I really wish I hadn't been doing a load of all my pants. FML

Don't leave your stuff in the laundry room, that's like rule number one. It's a hard lesson, but I bet you won't make that mistake again.

When I had to use the public laundry machines at my apartments I would make sure to get there before my stuff finished as people will remove things from running machines. You never leave your stuff unattended.

That really sucks and who ever left the note was an ass hole, but everyone knows you're never supposed to leave your stuff unattended.

Thats pretty messed up. Unless it was just a joke and the persone who made the sign took half your clothes to make it seem real. But I doubt that's what happened. That's why you shouldn't automatically trust people.

That's a pretty low blow. You'll come to find that in apartments (or dorms, whatever your case) people aren't as nice as they seem. Maybe post a sign on the laundry room door saying what happened? I hope you get your stuff back though!

YDI, you never leave your clothing unattended in a laundry room if they are not specifically in a running washer or dryer. This is even more true if you have expensive clothes like you claim to have had. Sucks someone did this to you but you did set yourself up.

That really sucks, but you should never leave your belongings unattended, because some people are dicks.

Go knocking on every door in your complex and explain to your neighbors what happened. Hopefully they are honest and return your clothes to you. Also find out who the asshole was who put the sign on your laundry bag and tell him/her to mind their own ******* business next time.
