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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Be positive. It was also half full.

I thought it was a given to never leave one's laundry in a public facility. Who knows what could happen to it.

Wow that sucks. Don't leave your stuff out

You should have stayed and waited. Don't you know the golden rule about doing laundry in a public laundry mat. If you leave your clothes, even for a few minutes they are bound to end up on the floor, in a pike on the floor or in your case handed out for free

Why was it hard to bring your clothes back with you, when you went away? I would never, never leave my clothes out like that.

Never ever ever leave your stuff in a laundry room. Don't even leave it in the washer/dryer for too long. One time at college I was three minutes late in getting my clothes out of the dryer and someone had stolen my favorite skirt out of it. People are evil. You have to be extra responsible to offset their douchebaggery.

Yep, I had 3 tops and a pair of pricey jeans taken from the dryer when I went to get more coins (I was gone about 10 mins)... didn't realise until I was back in my apartment.

Hey, at least your cat didn't give birth on your towels!

To anyone reading this in the future, there was a recent FML about a cat giving birth on new white towels.

Should have stayed. Never leave your clothes there. Good luck getting all that shit back, well...you'll never get it back... sounds like hundreds of dollars well spent. I have to say YDI and FYL

I wouldn't take someone's dirty stuff, free or not!

Really? It's way cheaper to run some clothes through the washer than it is to go out and buy them.

And that is why I don't leave my stuff unattended at a laundry room. People are dicks, sorry OP.
