laundry morons

My dorm has two washing machines on the fifth floor, which is also our building's top floor. I live on the second floor, and tromp up with my weekly double-load. Normally, there's no problem: the two washing machines are almost always empty, and I'm able to do laundry without fear that my clothes will be mishandled by people coming after me.

But for the second week in a row, I have had problems with the clothes dryer because some lobotomized fucknut insists on filling it with laundry detergent.

I normally pull out the dryer's filter to empty it before starting my own drying cycle. Both last week and this week, I have pulled out the filter only to find it caked with a nasty combination of lint and powdered laundry detergent. More detergent is visible inside the dryer's drum, and inside the bottom of the slot where the filter is normally tucked. In both cases, last week and yesterday, I cleaned everything out as best I could, then started the cycle. The clothes have dried without a problem, and I think the rotation of the drum naturally ejects any of the extra soap I might have missed in my cleanout. My clothes show no trace of soap, and the dryer seems to be functioning well, all things considered.

Nevertheless, it is infuriating to think that some dumb asswipe has been trying to introduce detergent to the dryer. I decided to do something about the situation, and left notes in three languages (Korean, English, and French for the hell of it) on the dryer's door, saying:

PLEASE DO NOT PUT LAUNDRY DETERGENT IN THE DRYER. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THE DRYER, PLEASE COME SEE ME (Kevin, 201).

I hope the notes remain on the dryer for the entire week, but I suspect that one of the concierges will quietly take them down, then speak briefly with me when I'm on my way out the door. Grrrr.

What sort of buck-toothed, pea-brained, sheep-fucking bumpkin puts soap in a dryer?
