[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Avoid the master bedroom and ask before using the washing machine.

If you say you are watching the kids outside, don't come back in without them and then ask me while I'm taking the turkey out "Should (2 year old) be down by the river by herself?"  Unless of course you enjoy watching me drop everything and bolt despite burning myself. [/quote]

Ask to use the washer?  Why?[/quote]

Not that PP but perhaps you don't know how to use my machine, maybe it's not working, maybe it's finicky. Most importantly, you don't live here, so ask. [/quote]

Don't have guests.  Put the soap in, clothes and push start.[/quote]

You shouldn't be a guest. ASK first before using anything in your host's home, unless you have been told otherwise.

If I need to do a load of household items (especially if there's something we need for school or sports the next day) and you've started a load unexpectedly? You suck.

If you moved my laundry and didn't remove my hang-dry only items, and they are now on full heat blast in the dryer, you REALLY suck.[/quote]

Also, if you try to help with laundry and do two towels like you do at home, you suck. We are gen exers or millenials, concerned about the environment. We have specs for full loads, temp and how much detergent, and yes, for what gets hung or dried. We care about the planet and our bills. [/quote]

I don't know anyone who does two towels.  But, if you don't want someone using your machine, offer to do their laundry.  I wouldn't want someone dictating how I was mine and what detergent if I visited as I can only use certain brands and wash at specific temps.[/quote]
