If I plan to wash on Tuesday and the machines are in use, I will try again on Wednesday. If it's the same situation on Wednesday, I have to just keep checking so i can get it done.

Sometimes I'd run back upstairs during cycles, and come back down 30 min later, but the machines were fairly quick so it was often easier to bring a book and hang out down in the basement. I abhor other people touching my clothing, and so the best way to avoid that happening, is to not give them a reason to.
There is one narrow counter top in my bldg. laundry room. But I never use it and always take my stuff back to my apt. to fold.

Also nobody in my bldg. stays in the laundry room between cycles to wait for the machines. But I do remember my grandmother doing that her bldg. when I visited her as a teenager.

I just did my laundry. I love the sense of accomplishment when I finish it. $4 for the wash and dry. We have 6 washers and 5 dryers for about 150 apartments. We are suppose to have kept laundry hours but rarely is the laundry room locked. I still try to keep to them to be considerate of the people who live on that floor but a lot of people don't because they don't really care.

Unbelievable that even in a thread on LAUNDRY that someone will bring race into the discussion. Gotta love City Data.

Well, many people like to keep their whites separate from the coloreds.

One man's accomplishment is another's infinite futility

Same category as dishes and tidying

I throw everything in together and don't wear reds so I don't have to do a separate load for them

I toss them together (well integrated) and I too have learned to avoid reds and maroons. Our 46 pound washers make it uneconomical to use separate smaller loads. Our 16 pounders cost 80% of the big ones.
