I(23F) live at home with my parents and two younger siblings. We all share the laundry room and generally there’s an unspoken rule. If someone forgets their clothes in the washer or dryer, you can move them respectfully to keep the flow going.

One day my older sister who think she runs the place loses it because I moved her damp clothes from the washer to the dryer so they wouldn’t get that wet smell. She storms into the kitchen like I just set her wardrobe on fire. Yelling.

You don’t ever touch my laundry again, I don’t care if it’s been sitting there for hours. Leave it!

I start to explain that I was literally helping her out but she didn’t let me speak she just asked me to leave it alone.

About 2 weeks later, she tosses a load in the washer and leaves for the whole day. I come in later, see the washer full of her soaked clothes blocking me from using it and remember her very clear instructions.

So I do nothing.

Hours pass. The clothes sit. I wash and dry my stuff at a laundromat nearby.

The next morning, she’s shrieking because her once favorite hoodie smells like mildew and her white tops have that weird grey tinge.

She stomps up to me demanding to know why I didn’t at least move them.

I said, You told me never to touch your laundry. I was following your orders.

Her face fell in realization and she walkedaway slowly. And from then on she never left laundry in the washer again and even started asking me to help switch loads when she was busy.
