tales from the laundromat

Boycott Graceland · 08-18-2007, 09:57 PM

i usually use the washing machines in our complex, but i felt like venturing out in to the world today in search of an industrial size washer, as to get everything clean in one swoop

so far i've encountered:

-a strange dude who is really eager to talk to everyone about how much fun he's having ("LAUNDRY IS LIKE THE FUNNEST THING")

-these two mexican guys who kept calling each bitch and slapping each other with towels. then one of them started talking about how he wanted to beat up his little girl at the grocery store the other day because she was being annoying

-a neo-geo arcade console with bust-a-move on it

why are laundromats so weeeeeeird

i'm afraid this gentleman is all too real

the kicker was that his phone rang a few minutes ago, and he picked it up and said, "HELLO? I'M AT THE LAUNDROMAT! I JUST GOT ALL MY LAUNDRY DONE. ALL OF IT! IT WAS AWESOME!!"

Every time I go to do a load of laundry in my complex's little laundry room I always find one of my socks sitting on the table. Ever since the first time this happened (with underwear, no less!) I've made sure to pay extra attention when moving laundry over but somehow... Those socks have a way of hiding from me. Every once in a while Chris will do a load of laundry, then come back in and toss a sock in my face. "I was wondering what happened to this thing!"

i think i came out of today with all of my clothes, plus:

-a shirt that belonged to this girl that, uh, spent the night

-one (1) childrens sock

two hot girls moved in the other week. the first weekend there i was walking into the complex laundry and heard a girl saying "do you ever get that stain in the bottom of your panties?" and the other started saying yes when i walked in. I just chuckled and they got their stuff and rolled. a few seconds later one returned with a sock i dropped, blushing, and rushed off.

I've never been to a public laundromat like that before.

Boycott Graceland · 08-19-2007, 02:44 PM

there was something oddly david lynch about the whole experience

Allycat · 08-19-2007, 08:49 PM

Once at the laundrymat this mother made her five-ish daughter how was filthy strip so she could wash her clothes. There were a bunch of old men hanging out there cause it was air conditioned and they just stared at her runing around naked

I freaked out and found someone that worked there and she ended up calling the cops. I felt bad for both of them but who lets their children run naked in public?

i'm about to do my laundry here shortly. i could use the one in my complex, but the new laundromat over on Main is cheaper.

i used to go to this 24-hr, bum infested one also on main, until I noticed all the clothes I washed there smelled faintly of fecal matter.
anyway, the only thing i encountered even remotely note-worthy was that i got offered a beej by both a dude and a female. i remember making a thread about it.

avian chaos · 08-19-2007, 09:41 PM

MAN, am I glad this thread exists right now... I just did two loads of laundry today in my complex's laundry room. When I went to change my loads over to the dryer I saw that someone had taken one of them out of the washing machine, in all its damp glory, and dumped it on the countertop so they could use the machine. This has happened many times before, I've even done it, but it's never bothered me because everyone else has had the decency to put the clothes in the dryer. Walking in and seeing it sitting on that nasty countertop, right next to the trashcan where everyone stands and cleans out the lint traps, though? Blech! I almost wanted to move their laundry onto the countertop, just to screw with them... But I wussed out
