Ok, I really wanted a picture of the Provo Wash Hut for this post, so if someone has a pic, pass it on.
One kind of bad thing about New York is the laundry situation. After having a maid who lovingly ironed my underwear each day, hauling clothes down the street is an insurmountable hardship. I realized that the wash and fold service at the local laundromat costs about the same as doing it myself, so I left a few loads of launadry there last Friday. I returned on Saturday morning, excited to pick up my clothes. There was a man in front of me in line who made the laundromat employee, or laundress, if you will, take each item of clothing from the bag and count it in front of him. He turned to me and said, "These people were losing all of my clothes. This is the only way to do it." Cool. Then he asked for a dry cleaning item and she was unable to produce it. He replied with, "@#$#@$#$@#$!#$!#@$$@#$!#" and asked when the manager would be there next. She told him Monday and he pointed at her and snarled, "See you Monday!"
As I was paying for my clothes, eager to leave, another man ran through the door. He was holding a black sweatshirt that was covered with white bleach stains. He screamed, "Which one of you did this?" Ok, it might be time for me to get a good book and to do it myself.

I went to a wash & fold for a few years when I didn't have a washer & dryer in my apartment. I never had a huge problem - although I've been missing a green shirt that I used to have. Then again, I thought that the wash & fold was losing my clothes until I saw a boy in my ward wearing one of my favorite tshirts (that I'd been missing for quite some time) and when I asked him why he had my shirt, he told me that my roommate left it at his house once. There are obviously multiple issues with that, but the biggest one is that she left it at his house and he still hasn't returned it.
ReplyDeleteSome ladies at our local laundromat stole my favorite fleece pajama pants. They claimed that they "mistook" our laundry for theirs and put it in the dryer, but not to worry, nothing was missing.
ReplyDeleteCan't trust laundromat folks. Can't trust 'em.
