Wish me luck!👍
Since my fever 🤒 has went down now, I plan to wash some clothes tomorrow in our shared small laundry room downstairs.
But there is a problem ...
Since the end of May, some person has went down and started one empty(!) washing machine at 20.45 in the laundry room on my time. [Explanation: he/she doesn't put any garments or whatever, in it!]
The rules in our contract say we are allowed to use the washing machines between 16.00-20.00. The drying room untill 21.00.
Normally I go down there just before 16.00, put in the stuff into the machines, do some shopping, go back at 17.15, when the machines have stopped, use the drying room and planning to get the stuff dry at 21.00. From time to time I do a 2nd round, put some other stuff into the machines at 18.00 as well.
It's MY washing time (only one household at a time). And why an EMPTY machine?
I do my washing every third week or so, so this has happened 5 times since the end of May.
There is a angled wall in our small shared laundry room, so I plan to be there behind the wall in time to hide and catch the idiot, this time.
Any suggestions?
What would You have done?

Swap the potters wheel for a Hotpoint and there is your answer...Plus it's a great excuse to look at the insanely fabulous Demi Moore.

Get in there before him/her & secrete a bright red football sock behind the top rim. That'll torn all their whites pink...

Do you think this might be another case of multiple personality disorder. One doing the shopping whilst another is doing the washing behind his back

Not doing the washing. The bloody machine is empty! Now just looking at a bottle. It says it removes blood stains as well ... |

I left it once for just some seconds in the backyard, and my neighbour mistaken it for a dust-bin and was about to put his trash bag in it! |

Just out of interest:
How often do you guys wash in a shared laundry room? (Own private bathroom with a washing machine doesn't count.)
I hope noone here is one of those sick bastards coming down with a few (4-5) garments and a lonely towel, just to occupy the keyplate for the whole period (5 hours).

One out of 3
I have two persons I seriously suspect.
1) One living rather close to me,
2) and one idiot at the staircase next to mine.
3) It could be a third person though. He's really odd and brings altogether three large black sacks, only 2-3 times a year. He lives across the yard and is within the advertising/marketing business. I asked him about the content in those huge sacks he brings. "One is for clothes, one is for towels, sheets etc and one is for ... special things." Then he showed me what was in the third sack, blushing:
It was some huge dices, different doormats, soft toys, an inflatable rubber boat. But I don't think I was supposed to see the inflatable rubber doll underneath it.👍
It's probably a long shot, but he might turn on a machine occasionally, to compensate for him seldom being there.😂

When I was single I used to go to a launderette because I didn’t have a washing machine at home. Once a nice West Indian lady (from the West Indies not the West if India ) helped me fold my sheets. That was the most interesting thing that happened. I always had more than 5 items if that puts your mind at rest. |

In Sweden I think there are some rules against it. You can even be denied to install a dish washer sometimes here. It has something to do with the tube dimension. Many people I know here in Sweden find it disgusting to do the laundry in the same area where you prepare food and eat. Myself have not thought about it that way. Some swedes put their socks in the microwave oven every now and then, if they've become sweaty. Now THAT's disgusting! I've been to England three times and I found real(!) wooden floor (not plastic woodprinted one) in bathrooms at two different B&Bs. It was very odd! In Sweden there are strict regulations against that. The oddest thing about my whole thread is this: Why doesn't he/she put any garments into the washing machine at all? If he/she at least had done that. Tomorrow hopefully I'll get the answer.🤞 |

It's me, Emperor Quietman washing my new clothes.
I worked in Switzerland for 3 months in the 80's. First month lived in a hostel mostly occupied by Yugoslavians + Albanians. Fairly friendly bunch apart from one oddly secretive chap. He was a dead ringer for Bobby Ball. Apparently lived on nothing but water, bread + cold sausages, he'd wash his sausages in the machine before cooking them. Nobody ever plucked up the courage to challenge him.
Perhaps you should ask your neighbours if you could check their sausages.

He says he's afraid of pesticide. Apparently he doesn't mind washing-up liquid. p.s. Are your clothes invisible then? d.s. |

Yet more music to explore. Thanks for the clip! The rhythm figure in that intro had small similarities with "Lookin'out my back door" by CCR. Heard the whole picked Odie&Dunbar album. "Cote-St-Antoine-Song" wasn't that bad. |

Just what every Sunday Morning should have. A thread, laced with LSD.
I have not got a clue what I've just read.
