I have never seen one that is not a ghetto dirt zone If you do not have a washing machine at the place where you live please enjoy: -lugging your mountain of filthy clothes to the laundromat -machines that don't work and are marked as such -machines that don't work and surprise you when they break midcycle and leave your clothes in a pool of dirty water -a faint yet persistent smell of poo poo -waiting for the lovely dryers to finish -dirty underwear scattered liberally across the floor -dumb jerk that throws their clothes in with yours because there are no other dryers open -there is a bathroom but the sink was pulled off the wall months ago and has not been fixed (I dunno maybe that's just mine) I must escape the laundry nightmare/mild inconvenience

Monkey Fracas posted:I have never seen one that is not a ghetto dirt zone None of these apply to my laundromat so maybe you live in a really gross part of town. Laundromats are good for drying things like pillows and comforters because they have those gigantic industrial dryers that you can fit an entire rug in. The only downside is it's $0.25 per 8 minutes so depending on what you are drying it might be cheaper to buy a new one.

Use the laundry facilities at a nearby apartment complex. Costs the same and its not a filthy hellhole. Also, "being poor is a disease, gotta hustle up a cure".

I briefly had to use a laundromat when I wasn't able to use the hookups in my place, but it had a bar and decent food so sucks to be you

honestly a bucket and plunger work really well, and will save you much bux. Then you only have to use the dryers during wintertime.

I use a laundromat but they wash and fold everything for you and wrap everything into perfect clean cubes with rubber bands and it's fantastic

The one I used was all one establishment. Even had indicator lights up front in the bar so you could see when your machines were finished. And you could put everything on one tab. It was pretty sweet as far as laundromats go.

Buy a washer/dryer set, OP. They pay for themselves after only 23 years.

There's usually one upright washing machine that somebody's taken a poo poo in, there's a mexican lady who uses every other machine, doing megatonnage of laundry, and the occasional junkie who wanders in checking all the machines and dryers for anything he likes/needs.

The most annoying thing about the laundromat is all of the little kids that parents bring along that constantly ask you for quarters to buy candy because their parents are too drat poor. Those little poverty brats wont leave you the gently caress alone, their parents should really teach them some self-respect and to not whore out to strangers for a 25c piece of bubble gum. Or just not bother strangers in public. It's awkward as hell when someone's kid is annoying you and the parent is right there but won't do anything about it.

They are a matched set, that's what's so hosed up about it. I don't know, maybe the engineers who designed it are cool with jamming all their clothes in the dryer and pulling out a wrinkly mass but that's not how I do things.

I can understand if they are asking for you to give them things, but kids coming up and starting conversations is an important part of social development. You really need to humor kids and talk to them when they confront you.

It was the parents that are really at fault.

Maybe I should get one of those little 2-in-1 washer/condenser dryer units No ductwork, just hook the thing up to the sink faucet. Seems like too much trouble to avoid laundromats though
