Right after work, I did laundry at the Little Hollywood Launderette on Market near Laguna. When the wash was done, Sam and I moved the laundry to the dryer area and started loading it in. Before we loaded a 3rd dryer, Sam noticed a sock in it. So I took the sock out, put it on the table near by and started to put my wet laundry in the dryer. This guy came over and started mumbling something about me taking the sock out of they dryer. Then he said "I put that in there to save the dryer". I replied, "Oh sorry, I thought it was left there from the last person who used it" He mumbled something more as I looked the the 2 empty dryers right below this one dryer. I said "Is your laundry ready to go in the dryer?" He said, "Yes, yes it is" I unloaded my wet laundry and moved it into the lower dryer. I am not one who likes to have drama if it is not absolutely necessary.

As he was loading the dryer, I said to him "In the future you may want to consider more then just a sock to save a dryer. That is usually an indication that someone just left it behind."

Sam asked me later if the guy might have thought that I did it on purpose to him. Removed his sock. Maybe he thought I saw him put it in there. I was not paying attention to what he was doing before he chastised me for taking his sock out of the public dryer.

I should have just left my laundry in there, and pointed to the empty lower dryers and said, "You snooze you lose!"
