Apartment living sucks, surprise surprise

With that said, if someone left their clothes in the washer or dryer and it's been quite some time since it's been in there, would you remove the clothes or just wait it out?

There is only 1 washer and 1 dryer for 12 apartments. Machines have timer on so there is no guessing on when it'll be done. No table to put the clothes on nor did the guy leave a basket.

Has happpened before, assuming its the same culprit.

Sometimes I just want to toss those clothes into the garbage can, maybe he'll learn his damn lesson to come back in a timely manner
but no worries, even though I am tempted cause I'm annoyed of waiting but I won't.

Yes, I would. I wouldn't stand there waiting for the timer and start removing the clothes the second the buzzer goes off. I'd give it 10 minutes or so. I also wouldn't put them on the floor, or the garbage either.

Can you not tell the difference between male and female clothing?

Haha. There are females.

I referred to the person as a "he" because when I opened the dryer to see if it was empty, it was guys clothing.

don't they have tables/counters for the laundry? Just put it there. He probably won't care. He ran to run an errand or went back home and will be back at some point.

If there isn't a table, put it on top of the dryer. No need to throw it on the floor or in the trash, that's just rude.

why don't you ask the manager to put in more washers and dryers? Why don't you go offsite to wash your clothes?

Nope, no table. Small apartment with only 12 units.

When it first happened I thought the same thing, probably forgot or went out for something but after repeatedly happening, I'm not so sure...
