My apartment complex has a communal laundry room. The average time for a wash cycle is about 45 minutes. I put my stuff in, went to my apartment, and watched the end of a TV show on Netflix and then another one. It was busy down there but my laundry wasn't in the washer for more than an hour. I went back to get it and the washer was empty. So were the other two next to it. So there was no reason for anyone to move mine to a dryer. Not only that, but if that's why it was moved, where is the load they needed a machine for??
I was irritated at the total rudeness and the fact that someone had their mitts on my clean laundry which included undergarments. That just feels like a violation. On top of all that my stuff was thrown in with someone else's. Just...WHY?
Update:
I got back the sock and a bunch of half-damp laundry I didn't know was missing. The people who had it responded on the note that they didn't know how it got mixed up, either and they needed some sweatshirts and stuff back. I don't think they were the ones moving stuff necessarily, if they were missing things, too. I think a third party was involved here: someone who's either confused or drunk and put my things in two different dryers and confused both me and the people who had the other half of my stuff.
I think from now on I'm going to the 75-cent-on-weekdays laundry that's 3 minutes from work. I'll load up the car the night before and go right after my shift. Or I'll just do laundry late at night.

Update:
I ended up pulling out some other woman's tank tops and when I was hanging them to dry I realized they weren't mine because they were XL and they smell really strongly of detergent. I'd never use an over-fragranced detergent like that. And I'm missing a brand-new sock....I put the mate on top of a note explaining that the tank tops aren't mine and to leave my dry sock there if they find it.
