sock-block

v. when a family member or house mate sees you plan to use the washer, and throws their load in before you can.

ex: Mary is in her room sorting through dirty clothes and forming a pile of things to be washed, meanwhile, Lynnette sees this and puts her laundry in first. Mary finishes sorting her laundry and is furious to find out that she has been sock-blocked.

Mary: WTF
Lynnette: Sorry, I just happened to have to do my laundry...
Mary: But you knew that I have to wash my clothes before my trip tomorrow!
Lynnette: Oops!
