One of my neighbors decided to do laundry. Which is all nice and good, but he's had his clothes in the dryer for a good 3 hours now, and I've got a load of laundry in the wash that needs to get dried!
I don't know what apartment he's in, or I'd ask him to move his stuff. I'm tempted to move his stuff myself, but there is quite a bit of underwear, and ... well, men don't touch men's undies.

That's why the Gods of Testosterone invented rubber gloves, so you don't have to actually touch another guy's underwear.
Then throw it on the floor... serves him right for not keeping track of it!

LOL...I remember living in an apartment building and going through the temptation to scatter a delinquent dryer user's clothes everywhere... It just never quite overrode the fear of that person peeing in my load of clothes when they came down to get their stuff.

And then Big Bad Daddy comes back and finds his nice undy-roos on the dirty, filthy floor. This enrages BBD and he snaps. He figures that it has to be the work of the person who belongs to the clothes in the dryer he was using.
How does he know this for certain? He doesn't, but he's ticked off that someone would dare touch his Spider-Man undy-roos. And his silk thong. That really chaps his hide. So his blood and near boiling as he picks up his clothes and stomps off to his apartment.
But wait! He comes back! And revenge is on his mind. He opens the door to the dryer and urinates all over your clothes! Yes, because very little is worse that dried-in superheated urine on fresh laundry! That'll show you not to mess with Big Bad Daddy's silk thong!
Oh, but he isn't finished by a long shot. He hides out and watches you return to retrieve your laundry. He laughs maniacally as you look on with utter horror at your public-restroom-scented socks and jock straps! He relishes the moment. As you move off to your apartment, he follows you. And before you know it...
He has forced himself into your apartment and starts pounding you into unconsciousness! You awake and find yourself strapped to your bed with candles lit all around you. Then he appears: Big Bad Daddy! And he's wearing the silk thong! And then the torture really begins as he sodomizes your stuffed animals while singing Britney Spears's "Oops, I Did It Again!"
So you see, I'd just leave a note politely requested that next time he be more mindful of hogging the dryer.

And I moved my clothing into a hamper and into my apartment since I have to go to work at five, and it will be quite some time before I get home. This rather upsets me that he could be so blasted inconsiderate, but ah well ...
If his clothes are still in the dryer when I get home, I'm dumping them in the wash ... jus' fer fun, you realize.

You could dump his clothes, but not use the dryer. Your clothes wouldn't get dry, but he couldn't catch you, and you would have successfully accomplished revenge... except you'd still have wet clothes...
Except that I stick around and wait for my clothes to dry when I'm sharing a dryer. That way I can take them out and deal with them while they're still nice and warm and wrinkle-free.
So I'd most likely be gone before BBD got back. And if not... remember, I'm in favor of self-defense. I don't pack heat in the laundry room, but... ever get Tide in the eyes?
IRL, I wouldn't throw the guys' clothes on the floor... I'd pile them on top of the dryer, like everybody else in the dorms did when confronted with the same situation.

The way I always used to handle such situations was, take the clothes out and put them somewhere - preferably clean and visible so when the owner returns he can see where they are. If he doesn't like it, it's his problem. I've had the owners return to find their clothes on the side and me using their drier. They've complained on occasion but I've always essentially told them to fuck off. It helps that I can be really scary when I want to.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
