Share your veteran move as a rookie in new environment

While doing Laundry in my first month of freshman year (still in the middle of freshman year), I did two cycles in the dryer and my clothes still felt slightly damp. I didn't feel like paying the extra $1 for 60 minutes (of which only 10-15 would be needed). I took my laundry out and put it in someone elses dryer who had 50 minutes left. I took my clothes out 20 minutes later. Perfection.

Every so often each one of us makes a "veteran" move share yours...
