As others have said, say nothing and put them in our basket til your laundry is done, then put them back in the dryer. They will never know.
Go get a cheap clothing basket from the dollar store or somewhere. Leave the cloths you find in the basket.
I think OP is being perfectly reasonable in expecting to do laundry whenever she wants when it is her day. And I completely understand why she doesn’t want to wait until 10pm to do her laundry as well.
Are the doors to each room locked? Can you dump her laundry on her bed?
The doors are locked.
I will buy an extra laundry basket. There’s nowhere else to put the laundry besides the washer or couch so the basket is the best option
Are you the same person on Reddit that posted this laundry situation? Like everyone on CC and Reddit has said, you’re not being unreasonable - your roommates are.
OP: Any chance that your roommates are doing this repeatedly in an effort to get you to move out ?
Are there other issues between you & them ?
We don’t have any other issues besides the ones mentioned…
I’m pretty quiet and never have people over. They have people over consistently and I just stay in my room. I barely see them. I would also like to add that I’ve only gone out of my way to text them about issues maybe 3-4 times in the whole semester. Most of the time I have been moving her laundry without saying anything
The good news is that you are a senior & will be focused on other more important matters such as interviewing for jobs & considering graduate schools.
I think that your plan to buy an extra laundry basket is a wise & mature decision.
I would tell them: I understand you don’t want me touching your laundry. My laundry days are Wed and Sunday…if you don’t want me taking your stuff out of the dryer, take it out yourself. Perhaps you could set yourself a timer to remind you to do it.
Same thing for the kitchen sink…any of us may need to use it for dishes. If you don’t want me to touch it, then make sure it isn’t left there.
@happy1 asking if OP has had past roommate issues is totally irrelevant and whiffs of placing some blame on her for her roommates acting like little twits. OP from what you have shared with us, you are 100% not doing anything wrong and your roommates need to grow up and stop acting so petty.
Also, as others have said, stop texting them, maybe have a conversation (even though I wonder how far that will get you with these petty people) and just move to a basket and then back into the dryer when you’re done.
Good luck. They really sound rotten : (
@crknwk2000 We will have to agree to disagree. I think it was a relevant question (which the OP chose to not answer)!as we are hearing one side of the story here. It is highly unusual for a senior to room with two sophomores who are friends with each other but not the OP. Certainly the roommate’s behavior as described by the OP is not OK. However the nagging by text may have added fuel to the problem so I was curious if the OP had negative roommate interactions before
I did suggest (as you did) that they talk in person rather than by text.
Hopefully things have been sorted out by this point.
lol, again irrelevant and what, have you read studies about this? who says besides you that this is “highly unusual.” let’s not make the OP feel like something is weird with her living situation besides her petty roommates. OP, you got this. Get that additional laundry basket and know this is not you.
@crknwk2000. My comment is based on living experiences during my years of attending college as well as the experiences of children, friends, relatives who attend college. Certainly it is not a 100 percent sample size but typically seniors live with friends or at least acquaintances. My question was only meant to try and get a better understanding of the full story.
So once again we will have to agree to disagree about the validity nof my question (keep in mind that we have the same recommendation) Since debates are not permitted non CC I suggest we leave it here.
You know, it’s possible that the OP is a transfer student with senior status and may have been placed in the only available student housing spot; ie with sophomores. This happens to transfer students all the time.
I just don’t see how that is relevant to the problem she’s experiencing. Sophomores who are usually aged 19 or 20 ought to be mature enough to get their laundry out of the way when there is a mutually agreed upon schedule.
Also, anyone who would leave her underwear soaking in a kitchen sink had to have been raised by wolves. Gag.
^^^^
– Yes I agree that anything is possible. That is why I wanted to try and get some additional background information. The OP chose not to answer and that is certainly his/her prerogative.
–However, it is highly unlikely that a person would transfer into a college with senior status. Most colleges require students to attend for a minimum of 2 years in order to be granted a diploma from the school.
–I do agree (and said so) that the roommate’s actions were inappropriate. I just wondered if poor communications made the situation more difficult.
