open letter
an open letter to my neighbors:
there are posted laundry hours for a reason. our landlords do not think it to be ungodly to do laundry after 10p and before 9am, but they do think it to be impolite.
i can see the emergency situation of you needing a clean uniform/outfit for work the next day, and other circumstances (forgetfulness/drunkenness/alien invasion) has prevented you from doing laundry during those hours posted.
i am fine with that.
really.
but i cannot bring myself to believe that two loads at midnight and another two at 6am could fall under the emergency category.
you probably fail to realize that the washer and dryer sit against a wall that doubles for one of my bedroom walls.
every time the washer goes into a spin cycle, i wake up to its monstrous racket and find it to be jiggling my waterbed.
every time the dryer starts squeaking its loud, horrid squeak on every rotation, i think of the ways i could inflict torture upon you.
the methods are numerous.
please plan your laundry use such that it ends not much later than 10p and begins no earlier than 9am. for my sanity. and your safety.

So are you going to post said letter on the laundry room door? i vote yes!
enh.
i put a much shorter, albeit nicer, note on the washer as i dashed to work this morning.
