Oh yes, I’m taking to task foreign people who have no understanding of how things are done in this country, even though they live in this country.
Better pack my robes, I’m late for the next Klan meeting.
Typical libtard dipshitterry.
Before you judge, walk a mile in my pube-filled hands.
Yeah, you’re right. Actually, now I come to think of it, nobody cleans the lint trap after using the dryer in my building either.
Bloody white anglo-saxon skip bastards.
I don’t remember calling you a “racist fucking asshole.” You’re just the garden-variety type.
So far, the only tard in this thread has been you. Everyone I know empties the lint trap before they start the dryer anyway. And as far as I can tell, whether or not someone is an immigrant or gets food stamps has nothing to do with their ability to properly operate a dryer.
I would have said it differently than the OP, but I too think it’s gross to clean out someone else’s lint. If everyone cleaned out their own, they’d be cleaning out the same amount as if they left it for the next person, but they’d only have to touch their own lmess.
I grew up cleaning it out after the clothes were dry. Not leaving it for the next person. I can’t think of anything else that operates that way; why would lint?
It might be stupid but yes, touching other people’s cat fur, dissolved Kleenex, and hair remnants skeeves me out. It’s just like cleaning out the shower drain. I don’t mind touching my own hair but to see someone else’s and then to have to TOUCH it? Even with a towel? I can just barely keep from puking. Lint is not quite that bad but it’s still gross.
First of all, there are plenty of red-blooded American people who do not empty out the lint trap after they use the drier. There has even been a debate here on our very boards as to whether one is obligated to empty it before or after one’s clothes have been dried. So when did emptying out the lint trap become the consensus of “how things are done in this country”? Bitch about people who leave their lint in all you like - I really don’t see why you feel the need to bring the immigrant part into your rant when it seems to be irrelevant.
Second, a lot of foreign immigrants have never used a dryer before. Maybe the immigrants in your building wouldn’t know what to do with a lint trap if they met one on the street. Maybe you could let them know instead of bitching about it behind their backs. Put up a sign. Politely mention it next time you actually see them leaving without cleaning the lint trap. “Excuse me, I think you forgot to clean your lint trap.” How the hell are they supposed to know what the norm is if no one informs them?
FWIW, I never find the lint trap in the same state. Sometimes it’s clean, other times it’s not. I always clean the lint trap, before and after I do my laundry. As far as I can tell, my apartment is filled mostly with middle-class Americans, and I am one of the few (possibly the only) immigrants living in the building. So I wanna know, what is up with these Americans who don’t clean the lint trap, huh? Huh? Why do you all hate America?
I always clean my lint trap before I run the dryer. That way, I know it’s done. Otherwise, I may have forgotten to do it on the previous load, thus putting my family and home in grave danger.
Unless, of course, you consider the fact that the employees in many laundry services are immigrants and their salary for doing it might not be enough to get by and thus depend on food stamps…
I am going to do this now! Thanks for making the nests in my little corner of Missouri brighter.
I think it’s gross to leave dryer lint for the next person, but it doesn’t rise to the level of being rant-worthy. Of all the problems other people can leave you with, this one only takes a couple of seconds to fix. If you don’t want to touch their lint, maybe bring an old spoon to the laundry room with you, and use that to touch the offending lint. :rolleyes:
I am trying real hard not to make a ladle joke.
For Pete’s sake, the lint has been through the washing machine. It’s clean! What’s so gross about clean lint?
Sheesh.
Heck, there’s only three members of my family living in this house, and I still check the lint trap every time I go to use the dryer. It’s just part of doing laundry. But as for knowing I had to do it, my mother had to teach me when I was a kid. Count me in as one of the folks who thinks your neighbors just don’t know it’s expected. Or maybe they know you’re a racist asshole sharing the building and they’re deliberately putting extra pubes in the lint and leaving it just for you! Bwahahaha!
We were evicted from our bird nest… had to go live in a lake.
It always seemed more logical to clean the lint trap prior to using the dryer, since that’s when it’s in one’s interest to do so. So that’s what I do with the dryers in my apartment building.
I agree that the lint is clean, therefore not gross.
Also agree that the one starting the dryer cleans out the lint trap. If it’s full, then your clothes are going to take a long time to dry, and could start a fire. So you should check it before you start it. And if you’re going to be taking it out, then you can clean it. Sounds logical to me.
What kind of apartment house is this that everyone’s laundry is so full of pubic hair?
You never heard of Pubic Housing? It’s for people that are on Pubic Assistance, so they have extra.
Is this supposed to be a lot or something? I pay $875 (not including utilities) for a studio and it pretty much is a shantytown. Shopping carts in my front lawn and hobos diving in my dumpster are really the least of it. Nice 1-bedrooms are $1200 and up.
In college, I used to go downstairs to clean out the lint traps for a study break. It’s awfully nice of Johnny’s neighbors to support higher education like that.
Maybe they are doing it on purpose, because they think your a bigoted jerk with a chip on his shoulder and like to see you angry in between getting their welfare checks and jabbering in their wierd languages.
Or maybe they are like me, and consider it normal to clean the lint trap before putting in the laundry. I’ve never owned a personal washer and dryer, and I’ve never seen a public laundry situation where you would expect to have a clean lint trap to begin with. I think your expectations are just kind of off here.
In any case, a nice FRIENDLY sign, maybe illustrated with how to do it and the consequences of not doing, would help.
Heh. Don’t ever move to California. Our shantytowns dream of $745 one bedrooms. Really, if you hate your neighbors so much and you can’t deal with touching lint, maybe you ought to find a new place to live.
