The Laundry Room

Tonight I was doing laundry, as was everyone else. I almost always seem to pick the day that everyone else does. I went to switch my laundry to the dryer and there was a guy doing the same thing. Our laundry room is TINY so I decided to leave for a few minutes to save us from having to squeeze past one another. I came back and he was still there. His clothes weren't done yet. He moved by the door to let me have room to move my clothes. I lifted the lid to the washing machine (which happened to be the one right by the door) and started to pull some clothes out. I didn't lift the lid all the way and the guy's common sense kicked in. He said something, which I didn't catch, and then walked out. I'm guessing he was telling me he was leaving for a minute. I thought it was really nice of him. I don't want my underwear on display in front of people, especially guys. I really appreciated the fact that he was aware that I was a little uncomfortable by his presence. I've only been in the laundry room while a guy has been in there a few times and it's always a little awkward. Sometimes they even seem a little uncomfortable and I can tell they're trying not to look or be weird about it. More guys need to follow the one I encountered tonight. I don't know who he is, but I think he's awesome.
