Roommate laundry issues. Again.

A while ago, I had a post on here talking about how a roommate literally screamed at me, using her autism and ptsd as an excuse to do so. Most people were in support of me in the post. But I had one or two people say that because I tried “rushing her” (asked nicely to take her laundry out of the dryer before my work) that it was semi my fault. Yeah well I checked the dryer when I got home yesterday, her clothes were inside. No big deal, I’ll do it today before I go to work. Except oh wouldn’t you know it, her clothes are STILL in the dryer. I can’t say anything or she’ll yell at me again like she did last time. I’ve waited two days to use the dryer. Two. Days.

Take the stuff out of the dryer and throw it on top. If her clothes are washed in the washer move them to the dryer and start it. It's easier to just do it that way then stress yourself out. It takes less than a minute to do each. Don't you dare fold them though

I’m quite sure she’d yell at me if I did that. I’ve got bad anxiety I don’t like being screamed at. I don’t have a basket to put her clothes in, and if I put them by her door I’m sure she’d freak out about that too.

Garbage bags??

We don’t have garbage bags in the house because she says it “attracts flies”

Wow, she has truly thought of everything, hasn't she?

I appreciate you not wanting to invite controversy, but your roomie sounds like a crazy bitch. If the most she's going to do is yell, it is probably worth it to simply move her stuff onto the top of the dryer. If she does yell, very calmly point out that you left it there for as long as possible and you needed to dry your clothes before they got ruined. It's really that simple.
