An hour? Nothing in a washeteria will run for an hour. Try Harder! That way you won't have to worry about strangers touching your clothes. Which is just silly anyway. The average pair of underwear has 1 gram of fecal matter in it and you just used the same washer as the other person.
The guy in the original post was a complete ass and I promise he would not have behaved that way if Kimette had been a man. Spineless jerk!

HarleyMedic, you and I think alike. This guy is a coward, verbally abusing a woman is the same as physical abuse in my book. A real man does neither!

Lucky for him it wasn't my wife he unloaded on-she would have torn him a new one.
We have traveled by motorcycle over most of the US and used the local laundry's every week of our trip without a problem. We have to use the RV park laundry tomorrow for the first time. I trust that we will have good luck in the RV park laundry's.
Of course there are always self appointed jerks and self centered people in all activities. Life is to short to worry about them.
This stream of posts was very entertaining.

Please provide a source for this statement. I seem to recall that you have made this claim before and yet a web search shows nothing from a reputable source.
And besides, what does this have to do with this thread?

Item #3 Wet Laundry
It doesn't have anything to do really with the post except that one person mentioned their paronia about having someone else touch her clothes.
It wasn't me that mentioned this previously

Thanks for the reply, I don't recall for sure who it was but someone was railing on about the skid mark issue a while ago.....
Gosh people, if it was that bad the laundry room would be piled high with dead people that made the mistake of not doing laundry in a hazmat suit.
It is my opinion that one of the reasons are kids are so sickly these days is because parents keep them away from the things that are needed to build the immune system. I was ranch raised and have never had a serious illness in my 51 years .....

Laundry Etiquette topics, I try and stay away from them because of my limited knowledge, but when I was younger... the laundromat was "the" place to meet the opposite sex.
I'd just boldly stroll in, throw my jeans in the dryer next to the cutest one, along with some detergent, spin the dial and ask, "so when does the water come in?" If anyone was a jerk, it was me, or would have been me if I actually had the guts to go through with it

Gosh! I thought "camping" or RV-ing was supposed to be relaxing. What could be so important that one would go off and leave clothes in the limited machines anyhow? I always have a book with me and sit and read until the machine is finished so I can get my stuff out immediately and go back to the RV to play with the puppy or watch TV or whatever.

A) I am not paranoid. I dislike strangers touching my personal property without my permission, and the more personal the property, the greater my dislike. That simple. If you feel otherwise, please send me your address. I'll come drive your car around and go through your things whenever they are accessible to me and you don't appear to paying enough attention to them to suit me. (Doesn't bother me to touch your things in the least. I avoid it purely out of respect.)
B) I cannot physically stand around in the laundry room long enough to wait for the stuff. Not every place makes provisions for comfortable waiting, and not everybody can do what you may think is 'reasonable'. That's the problem with assumptions.
C) You don't need a medical degree to comprehend that what is good for your immune function is not necessarily good for everyone else's. More assumptions. (Spent some of my early years on a farm, too. Didn't change a thing.)
D) I just left a place with dryers that would indeed run that long - in fact, the same where my friend had the problem. He was staying a mere 15 feet from the laundry room and chose his place over the seatless laundry room to wait. The 'offender' also felt it ok to walk through his site on her way to messing with his laundry. (I observed this personally, and more than once.) So he's not exactly a crazed whack job, ya think? Nor do I think it would have been crazy to put the kaibosh on her presumptive behavior right quick - which is what I would have done. But everybody's different.
That's the problem with generalizing. In the OP's story, the man had mentioned a problem with germs. He might be a nutjob. He might have legitimate reasons for his concerns. I don't know that, any more than I know the OP's reasons for being so very upset over the confrontation. I can't assume anything except that if she wants to say more about it, she will. And if not, then it's not my place to judge her. But if I was that upset by such a possible situation in future, I'd just do what I could to stay out of the situation - which is exactly what I do myself, and what I suggested to this lady.
