Laundry Blues

So, I had to write about this, because it is soo frustrating and ridiculous...

We live in an apartment complex that has 60 apartments. There is a coin-op laundry room that only has 6 washing machines and 6 dryers, and that is supposed to be enough for roughly 60 tenants, if all the apartments were occupied at once. Well, it's not.

Today I went to do laundry because Cameron needed his clothes for work washed, and since he does the laundry all the time, plus goes to school and work, and I had already finished doing everything else, I thought I would be nice. Now, I'm 6 months pregnant. Doing every day things isn't really a big deal for me, it's just slightly more straining than usual. But laundry is the killer. Cam normally does the laundry because we have to walk down the stairs out of our apartment and across the parking lot to get to the laundry room, and by the end of the week, those laundry baskets are pretty heavy. I didn't think the load I had was that heavy, and I was only going to take one at a time. Well, carrying that load of laundry down seemed a lot more difficult after I got to the laundry room, only to find that 5 out of the 6 dryers were being used...by one person. The only one left was the tiny, crappy one that barely fits anything. Seriously? People really can't be more considerate and do 1, 2 loads max at the same time? I know laundry is a pain, especially where we live, but come on! There are other people waiting to do laundry, you're not the only one that lives here.
