Exotic Beauty of the Laundromat

TV used to make laundromats feel exciting in their ads For those of you who have never been, you may be fooled. For those of us who have, we know better. You do not wear high heels, a dress, and pearls. You do not dance and sing around the dryers. There are crying children everywhere, and angry mothers. People are impolite and rude before they leave Everyone is tired, and their backs are breaking. The laundry mat is not a place to go to relax. You cannot read there. The machines are too loud. There is a change machine, but it is usually out of coins. Especially on Saturday morning, when everyone is there. You try to choose a time when no one is there. Good luck, it cannot be done. If you have to sell your children to buy your own washer, do it.
