To Be or Not to Be...Weirded Out?

It was always kind of depressing in college to come downstairs to find my clothes on top of the dryer. There's just something cruel about taking away somebody's joy in that fresh-from-the-dryer warmth (especially in winter). But time's too precious to waste on waiting for an open dryer when clearly the cycle's done, so I'd get over it.

I have typically been pretty prompt to take my laundry out of the dryer. Sometimes, believe it or not, I was even early. [I know, I know, I didn't know I was capable of being early to something, either, but it's been known to happen. A plan's in the works to expand that beyond my laundry.]

I was about 15 minutes late getting to the dryer yesterday. Nobody has clothes in the wash when I'd transferred mine to the dryer, so imagine my surprise to find my clothes on top of the dryer yesterday.

Folded.

Well, hey, thanks!

But wait, I'm sorry, did you even fold my underwear?

Okay, take that "thanks" and turn it into a question. Suddenly that made it a little strange. Personally I would have tucked the underwear between other clothing so it wasn't out in the open.

And I probably wouldn't have been thoughtful enough to fold somebody else's clothes, to be honest. Not that I would have taken their clothes out, anyway...

Now I'm not going to be able to help but pass by people in the building and wonder, Are you the laundry folder?

I'm just glad I didn't run into the person in the laundry room. I'd find it a little strange to have my face matched with underwear before a name, but that's just me.
