Who Does Laundry at 530 AM?

Some random who also fold their clothes in there, that's who, and probably that guy who thought it was a good idea to put shoes in the dryer.
What's worse than laundry at 5 in the morning; they use the washer that squeals in pain every time someone uses it.
As if living on the first floor of a six floor dorm wasn't bad enough - I mean, there's already a "ding" every five minutes as everyone above second takes the elevator. And then there's those people who think it's alright to come in yelling at three in the morning, or the ones who thought it was funny to strategically place our lounge furniture all over the halls, or that guy who throws up in our bathrooms every weekend. Yeah, that's all pretty bad, and it's topped off by the laundry room, of course.
Now, there's only one thing that makes everything I just said worse: Finals. (There's that capital F again). Oh, I take that back. Not everything of the aforementioned rant is made worse by Finals; on the bright side Mr. Regurgitation hasn't been seen for weeks.
And now back to my point:
Normally, the loud people, the ridiculous laundry decisions, and the elevator are things you just ignore and get over, but when it's after midnight and I have an exam worth 50% of the semester in 8 hours, you do not spend fifteen minutes talking about sports outside my door. That is how you end up with a knife in your side, and put a smile on my sweetly dreaming face. Nor do you make the decision to do laundry at five or two or three in the morning, because that's just common courtesy. Being on first floor, however, somehow absolves people of having any obligatory thought towards its residents.
And the excuses? Well, my favorite thus far is, "Oh, I thought this was like a lobby floor." Poor guy, he was visiting from Victoria, but I had no idea that lobbies occupied entire floors in my home town. Must be a new feature.
A message to all residents, visitors, strangers, and would-be burglars: It's Finals, everyone is on edge, and everyone is busy, but just wait three more hours before putting a load in at 5 AM, alright?
