I work for a company that has washers and dryers in apartment laundry rooms. It is proper to wait a minute or three and then put the laundry somewhere clean. DO NOT put the laundry in a dryer and start it. You might shrink something special.
The $1.25 (or what ever price) does not include space rent for your clothes after they are done washing.

Obviously that person has never been to a laundrymat. In the one I used to frequent, the manager would be johnny on-the-spot if you were not right there and dump your clothes before the machine quit spinning. His business depends on how many coins go into the machine. An idle machine is losing money.
Fun is that stuff that happens in between mistakes.

I'm with ORBiker...
I've got a few things that I don't dry. You certainly wouldn't score any beers from me if you put my stuff in the dryer and started it!

If I came back and found you had had to remove my laundry, I would've apologized all over the place and thanked you for not tossing them on the floor. LOL!

it is not unusual to see this as people often try to get several things done at the same time... myself included... I make sure I am there in time to remove mine, and if something happened to delay my return I would have no reason to be angry if they were removed...
some times things just happen to, I had laundry in a drier one time and a guy passed out along the CG road... I called 911 and stayed with the guy until the medical people arrived... somehow I actually forgot about my laundry and remembered about another hour later... when I got to the laundry room I found everything on the table folded in nice neat piles...
I sure wish I knew who did it so I could thank them, and hope they don't think any of it was intentional... What a nice post! Two acts of kindness and consideration--yours and hers/his. It serves to remind us that there can even be good reasons someone has forgotten his laundry.

About the only thing special you perhaps might shrink is their ego!

Not so true.
I have had to deal with people that had their clothes shrunk by someone else, thinking they were being helpful.
Many things today are better if they are not dried in the dryer.
18+ years in the laundry business.

She was the one with the faux pas, if she is going to leave and not watch the time she cannot complain. Perhaps she was not happy with herself or with her husband who had not remined her of the time. Thinking about it,it has to be all his fault.
