I only had one real bad experience washing my clothes.
There are 8 washing machines, and 8 dryers where I live. On that day, it was pretty busy up there, so I was lucky to be able to get at least one washing machine. As I'm heading out, I notice that all the dryers are being used, except for one that has 0 minutes left on the clock, and just needs the guy/girl to come back and pick up the clothes.
Later, as soon as my clothes are done being washed, I return to toss them into the dryer. I notice that all the dryers are still in use, with the exception of that same dryer that is still just sitting there with 0 minutes. I know that no one's come to look at it, because as soon as you open the door with 0 minutes remaining, the display automatically changes back to the price for a load of laundry ($1.50). This means the clothes had been there for a long time.
So, with no alternative, I opened the door, took the guy's stuff out, put it on top of the machine, and put my stuff in.
Later, when I come back to get my stuff out of the dryer, I notice that the guy's clothes are gone, and he had left my dryer door wide open. Well, obviously my clothes weren't being dried, and the timer doesn't stop counting down just because the door's open. I was lucky because I happened to have enough change on me to restart the drying cycle.
It wasn't the end of the world, but it did piss me off a lot, mostly because I lost time and money. I can't help but think about the type of jackass that would do something so self centered as to take up a machine, on a busy day no less, for over an hour, and then get his supremely petty revenge through such an infintile method.
