Launderetiquette 

Launderetiquette is the often unspoken rules or etiquette and culture around using a launderette.

Although a poster may decalre that, "those using washers have priority use of driers", it's not always obvious who's gets to use any particulary piece of machinery, washer or drier.

Launderetiquette is the angst felt by many novice launderer.
Stephen (at the launderette): Uh, sorry guys, I'm not trying to push in, but is that drier free? Only, I'm not sure what the launderetiquette is round here!
Nigel: That's my drier! You'll have to wait! You can't just wander in here and start using driers - can't you see the sign?

Stephen: Uh, have you seen what Carol is posting?
Nigel: Oh man, she loves her phodography!
Stephen: It's a cat!
