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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, it was laundry day. After my fifth and final load, I noticed I never added any laundry detergent. FML
Today, at the laundromat. I loaded a huge load into the top dryer, put all the quarters in, and started the bottom one. I realized my mistake when I came to check on it. FML
Today, after scouring my apartment for quarters to do laundry, I found the correct amount of change. The change got jammed in the washing machine. I now have no more quarters, and my clothes are caked with soap from washing them in the sink. 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 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
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 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

The only bit that's possibly your fault is forgetting to add detergent, and that is a very easy mistake to make. Half the time I try to do laundry I have to stop the machine and start over because I've forgotten to add detergent.

seriously 13 you don't know what fail means? it means you failed. at whatever is being discussed, or life in general. i think that's pretty obvious. community washers/dryers are awful...in my old apartment building someone once used bleach and i guess there was still a residue of it left behind or something, because several of my things wound up with bleach stains on them. makes you really appreciate when you have your own house and laundry facilities.

uhh 39, some people actually leave home when they go to college, because, you know, they have hopes and dreams to fulfill out in the real world. not all college students have their parents to do laundry for them, idiot.

It's pretty hard to do laundry when hung over, I'll attest to that! :P I've done that before too :(

You can't open the door during the wash cycle on your machines? Every coin operated washer and dryer I've ever used runs on a timer, not the opening and closing of the doors. And also... at least they got mostly clean.

sorry OP but that was a serious fail. when i was 12 i went to a sleep away camp where you lived in the college dorms, and even though it was my first time doing laundry by myself i still did not mess up like that.
