is it rude to take somones laundry when its done in the washer and put it in the

[MoaningLisa]

why would you need to dump there stuff on the floor to use a dryer? dryers are usually side loaded...

they are stacked.

Definitely not rude, what's rude is being a dipshit and leaving your clothes in the washer after they're done when someone is waiting on it.

That

When I was in the military it was common courtesy to leave clothes that finished the wash cycle on top of the washer just in case the owner wanted a special drying cycle.  It was also common courtesy to sit and watch the tv during the last few minutes of the wash and dry cycle to make sure no one else was inconvenienced by a dead washer or dryer.  No one would ever interrupt a cycle...that would result in that person never being able to do laundry again. Ive seen rude launderers get their shit left in trash cans,  thrown out the door onto the ground, 'dirty-dicked' and used as toilet paper. There was a douche who pissed someone off so was watching his load to make sure it stayed safe.  A previous victim ran up to the machine before he could stop him and dropped something in that ruined every piece of clothing. One uniform cost about $100 at the time and there were multiple ones in

My experience in the barracks was you watched your laundry with the eye of a hawk, you know the old adage: "there is only one thief in the army; everyone else is just trying to get their shit back."
At the time of my enlistment it cost about $70 for a set of ACU's, ($35 for the trousers/$35 for the top) though ACU's weren't the prime target but the PT uniform shirt's sure disappeared fast.
I was lucky in that my room was on the corner of the U-shaped barracks and the laundry rooms were housed at the corners of every floor. In basic it was easier to determine laundry thieves because of the exaggerated captive audience, but with a barracks housing everything from Commo to Engineers' unmarried NCOs/full bird privates and below it was harder to figure out who stole what. I remember some fuckwit in basic stole my fucking laundry bag, tried playing it off like it was his, till I turned it inside out and it revealed the decal I bartered with another recruit to stencil the platoon eblem, and my first initial/last name/last four that I sharpied on the top right corner.

They make you pay for uniforms in the military? Damn nigga, even enlisting isn't free anymore.

You are supplied about 3 pairs (IIRC), but anything after that, whether through wear and tear or thievery(sure you don't have to replace one of the 3 issued, but it really is a thorn in your side when you have two uniforms to last you a week and are expected to have immaculate gear for whatever/any occasion). you have to replace until you can de-ex them, which that opportunity only happens every so often.

...And you can pick up cheaper ACU sets for cheaper then $70/pair at military surplus stores, but the chances of them being clean enough for inspection/whatever NCO nitpicking's is worth the few extra bucks.

What happened after that? I realize the repercussions if you gave him a beatdown and like a chickenshit he would report you...but that sounds like blanket party material at the very least to me. Finish the story....

Comes the day you get out on the range to see if you're any good hopefully you got the guys that hand out the ammo in your back pocket, Few good round on top, Blanks on bottom.

Can't aim worth a shit then you better be good at scrubbing it.

Let's just say a lot of the people in my platoon who was missing gear 'found' what was missing, and he ended up paying a few hundreds of dollars to pay for gear he 'lost.'

I got the whole platoon smoked for pissing in this fatfucks 1 qt cantine. While we were rolling in the mud, the Drill Sergeant stressed the fact that atleast I was man enough to admit my wrongdoings because "people don't piss in cantines for no reason." The fucker pocketed a package of M&M's from an MRE that he was supposed to give up to the Drill Sergeant because candy was "contraband."
He offhandedly mentioned to me how he was feeling pretty "high" from the chocolate during toe the line. The next morning I found the wrapper in my footlocker, and I figured not only is he fat and lazy but too stupid to dispose of the evidence properly, (I usually flushed my candy wrappers down the toilet) so I just put the wrapper back in his foot locker thinking no harm no foul. The same wrapper ended up back in my locker, and then I deduced that he had malicious intent, so I decided to give him a surprise for the next hydration drill. Of course he went to the Drill Sergeants to rat me out, but didn't have the balls to own up to why I did what I did.

We had a lot of hypocrites and rats in the 'racks. For example of the the PG's was berating me at breakfast for being the 'contraband king,' going on about how he quit using tobacco weeks before enlisting... I looked at him, said "Bullshit, you've bought dip since, you just didn't know it was from me." The pizza faced farmboy didn't have much to say after that.

What's really scary is sometimes when I get my laundry it'll have childrens clothing mixed into my own, like a pair of underwear clearly belonging to someone that's like under the age of 8. I'll then start thinking to myself "did I rape a child in my sleep"?
