Health: Money for nothing

Money for nothing

By CollegeGirl - 01/05/2009 21:15 - United States

Today, I did my laundry in my dorm. After dragging 2 hampers down 4 flights of stairs, my ID card with money on it was rejected. After dragging it back upstairs, I scrounged up enough quarters from friends. Thirty minutes after finally starting my laundry, I realized I forgot to add detergent. FML

Today, I finally got around to doing laundry. The washing machines in my condominium building take about an hour to do a load. When I returned to throw my clothes in a dryer, I realized they were never washed in the first place. I used my card and detergent to pay for another person's laundry. FML

Today, I went to do the laundry at my hotel. I had just enough money for my two loads. After getting frustrated with the washer taking two of my quarters and giving no credit, I took the clothes out. The washer then locked the door shut and started without my clothes. FML

Today, at the laundromat. I loaded a huge load into the top dryer, put all the quarters in, and started the bottom one. I realized my mistake when I came to check on it. FML

Today, after scouring my apartment for quarters to do laundry, I found the correct amount of change. The change got jammed in the washing machine. I now have no more quarters, and my clothes are caked with soap from washing them in the sink. FML

Creepypasta time

Today, I spent over $20 at the laundromat doing two weeks of laundry, just to avoid using the facilities in my apartment complex and having to deal with my creepy landlord trying to steal my underwear again. FML

Today, I went to the laundromat. I put a load in the dryer and walked away to check on my other load. When I came back, I saw a homeless man putting his dirty, wet underwear in the dryer with my clean clothes. FML

Today, I was washing some clothes in the laundry room at my apartment complex. I went back an hour later, passed my neighbor on the way in, and moved my clothes to the dryer. I just brought them back from the dryer, and all my underwear are missing. FML

Today, I went to do my laundry. Having no laundry bag, I put clothes in a suitcase and headed to the basement. When my roommate saw me, she burst into tears with happiness. FML

Today, I'm so broke, I resorted to breaking into my old apartment complex to do my laundry in the basement for free. FML

The only bit that's possibly your fault is forgetting to add detergent, and that is a very easy mistake to make. Half the time I try to do laundry I have to stop the machine and start over because I've forgotten to add detergent.

seriously 13 you don't know what fail means? it means you failed. at whatever is being discussed, or life in general. i think that's pretty obvious. community washers/dryers are awful...in my old apartment building someone once used bleach and i guess there was still a residue of it left behind or something, because several of my things wound up with bleach stains on them. makes you really appreciate when you have your own house and laundry facilities.

My chem prof maintains that people use way more detergent than is actually needed. So much, in fact, that there's residual detergent left in our clothes after washing. If you wash your clothes fairly regularily and nothing was too soiled, that residual detergent should have been enough to at least get them smelling clean again.

YDI for not doing your washing more regularly.

dear #9, go die. also OP, why didn't you leave your clothes and go upstairs by yourself to go get quarters? i doubt your dirty laundry will be stolen in less than 5 minutes.

That happened to me a lot when I was in college. Now I ate ramen for months in order to afford my washer and dryer, but I did and dont regret because I refuse to go to laundrymats anymore..lol.
