'Sounds like a you problem now': Woman denies neighbor access to building's washing machine after neighbor throws all her clothes out on basement floor

Our small flat during college housed six girls. Although we had a great relationship and enjoyed sharing our home, laundry day always seemed to bring problems. To be honest, we all wish we had thought of this strategy while we were in college. Now let's get back to business: everything seemed to be going OK until OP decided to utilize the laundry facilities downstairs. OP discovers that her clothing has been left wet and strewn on the floor when she returns to the common area precisely sixty mi…

'Call the police... see what happens': Landlord blows his gasket when ex-tenant moves out and takes the appliances she purchased with her

Landlords are the scum of the Earth. They hike up the rent 10% every month, they paint over your electrical outlets, and they're clearly under the impression that the entire world exists for their profit. They'll scam their tenants out of anything if it means making an extra buck– At the risk of losing our residence, is there any way for us tenants to retaliate?

'You should have just paid the ticket': Landlord gives tenant expired permit, then refuses to pay parking ticket

Landlords use their ability to make their tenant's life miserable way too often, but sometimes tenants square up, and landlords need to face the bitter consequences of their actions. People say that petty revenge is for children, but I disagree and don't think that there is a particular age limit to getting so sweet payback on your landlord who owes you some money. In this case, OP had just graduated college and was looking for a place he could rent with a couple of friends. They found an apart…

‘Don’t mess with my laundry': Resident bleaches neighbor's clothes after they mess with her laundry, neighbor moves out

Doing laundry in your own building is super convenient unless you have a pesky neighbor trying to save a few bucks. In this case, OP was living in an apartment building with too few laundry rooms. There was only one single washer/dryer set per floor with about 12 units in a 3-story building. OP went about doing their laundry, until one day they found their soapy load on the floor of the laundry room with the final minutes of their cycle counting down. To say that they were livid would be an und…

'"Have fun!" I said, as I clocked out': Hotel housekeeper 'sorts' linens exactly how boss directs them to

Don't tell this housekeeper how to do their job . Their boss tried, and it didn't end well. When you do something for long enough, you start to develop shortcuts to make your life easier. Maybe you have a template you use to save time while writing emails if you're at an office job. Or for those in retail, maybe you're super fast at making drinks because you're used to measuring things by sight. You get into a rhythm and try to do your job as quickly and accurately as possible.

'I was shocked he would do this': Man gets laundry surprise from local laundromat owner he stole from

Theft is a tricky problem when you can't prove who's taking your belongings. I recently witnessed someone lose their clothing in real time. While at the laundromat waiting for my clothes to dry, I saw a man walk in with a gray backpack and take all the articles of clothing from a dryer. I didn't think anything of it, of course. But a few minutes later, a different man entered and became immediately distressed. The gray backpack guy had stolen his entire dryer full of clothing! Worse still, ther…

'[This] is an act of war!': Laundry room hijacker gets what he deserves after throwing his neighbor's wet clothes on the floor; clothes are held hostage after petty revenge ensues

Laundry room etiquette isn't something you can learn from a book or read in a magazine. You learn about laundry rules from being in the trenches at the laundromat, slinging quarters for an extra 15 minutes to nuke your clothes and still have them come out a little damp. The fury you feel after experiencing a laundromat faux pas is what teaches you right from wrong.

'There [were] no instructions for how to use this tablecloth': 20+ People who were hilariously incompetent at basic everyday tasks

They say if you mess something up badly enough, no one will ask you to do it again. That can definitely be true in many areas of life, whether it's the workplace or a relationship . One person burns a dinner so badly that they're never asked to cook again, making life easy for them, but harder for their partner. Discussions around weaponized incompetence, which is doing something badly intentionally to avoid it or not doing it at all, became a viral talking point of the day on Twitter . @Cooper…

'You have to pay us back; we found a way': Tenants modify landlord's coin-op laundry following landlord's refusal to reimburse them for $650 HVAC repair, landlord loses hundreds of dollars

Relationships with landlords are often rocky, unstable, and riddled with undertones of ego, making it difficult to solve issues when they inevitably arise. In this case, OP was living in a large old Victorian house that was converted into about 4-5 individual apartments. The issue that arose was an exhaust pipe that was melting away thanks to the landlord's incompetence when he was installing the HVAC system. The landlord hadn't called a professional, opting instead to do it all by himself. Whe…
