The worst type of kindness: when someone does your laundry for you

With Limited Washing Machines, and time for people to wash clothes, this is very selfish thinking and also wrong. As you do not own that machine anymore than the next person. You are just granted some time to do your clothes, and not to go shopping then and having a few beers with pals at the local pub.

 

Your lucky it was not me who found your clothes long washed in the Washing Machine. and you were not there to colect them after some time. I would have just pulled them all out and threw them in a bundle in some corner.

GOLDBUGGY, you sound like either a nun or an old schoolmarm whose students have all graduated and now you're looking for fresh young knuckles to snap with your ruler.

Who said I was going to the pub to drink? Not everyone on ThaiVisa is an alcoholic. You're very good at making up stories.  Was creative writing the class you taught at the boarding school?

Sounds like the Lady wanted to use the Washing Machine but couldn't as all your clothes were still in them, and she was forced to wait, and wait, and wait. 

 

You talk about things that Bug You here, but perhaps you should look at yourself and try and figure out what Bugs other people. 

 

What used to Bug Me to no end was people putting clothes in the Washing Machine and then walking away for the rest of the day, making these machines unable to use. Sort of like my clothes are in this machine, so this machine belongs to me now for as long as I want it.

If you want people to do your clothes for you here, and like back home, you have to pay them. If you don't have time to do your washing and can't be there to collect your clothes later, then take them to to the local laundry to do them for you. That cost is cheap. Just don't tie up all the Washing Machines in your building for the whole day, while you venture out to do something elae some place else. 

Normally I take the clothes out and leave them on top of the machine, or in the owner’s basket if it’s obviously near by.  That’s why all laundrette machines should be front loaders.

 

Back in the Old Country, at the public laundrette, I’d have taken them down the market and sold them.

No! I am not some Nun or Old Schoolmaster.

 

I am just a Farang who lives in Thailand who tries to get along with my Neighbors by being friendly, courteous, and by following the local rules which are set up to be fare for everyone. I don't create fights or arguments with my neighbors. I don't play loud music or make noise at night time. And I don't leave my clothes in a Public Washing Machine all days so others can't use it.  

 

Maybe you weren't out drinking with the Boys that day but I did notice you did not deny leaving your clothes in the Washing Machine long after they were finished washing. Which was my point.

 

How would you like it if everyone their followed your rules? That when you came down to wash your clothes you could not as all the Washing Machines were all full of other people clothes just sitting there, with baskets on top from other peoples clothes waiting for them to come back and collect there stuff so they could start doing there washing.

 

All that I am saying is that to be fare set the timer on the Washing Machine when you wash clothes and be there to pick them up shortly after they are done. I don't think this is asking so much from anyone. But the way some people talk and behave, you would think you are asking for the world. Little things like this can cause resentments and bad feelings with your neighbors.
