<p>My friends at my school also had never heard of that kind of thing happening, but it sure did. I think thankfully it was generally a pretty rare thing and more people than not were courteous, but after one or two nasty incidents I didn’t want to chance it anymore.</p>
<p>One obnoxious little brat did go and put bleach in all the washers my senior year. That was just above and beyond any atrocity I had yet encountered in college, I thankfully caught it and cleaned it up before anybody used the washers. Incredible. I hate communal laundry with a seething passion.</p>
<p>Wow. Just, wow. I would say I can’t believe someone would do that, but like my dad says, “There are some people who would steal dog poo off the sidewalk if they thought it had any real value.”</p>
<p>I just can’t imagine stealing someone else’s clothes (or stealing anything period), but what would you do with someone else’s clothes? Wear them? And, then the person sees you wearing their clothes? lol</p>
<p>Another reason would be to make the person mad. There are a lot of immature people whose sole pleasure it is to make sure everyone else around them is miserable.</p>
<p>Off-topic, but I know of at least three in Virginia (Hollins University, Sweet Briar, and Mary Baldwin), and I know that Spelman in Georgia is too.</p>
