I've never liked doing laundry here at my apartment complex. It's like playing laundry roulette, as sometimes, the washing machines didn't drain or the drying machines didn't dry. I'm a pretty laid back guy, but if anything in this world has the power to set me off, this does.
Anyway, the good people at Rectangles R Us must have heard the outcries of The People, because a few months ago they installed a set of completely new washing machines and dryers with all sorts of flashing buttons. I even tried them out a few times, and they worked!
I was lulled into a false sense of security. I was under the mistaken impression that by putting quarters into the machines, they would do what I asked them to do. Silly me.
I have a feeling that putting quarters into these machines is just part of the pagan sacrifice you have to do to get these damn things to do your bidding. While I sacrificed my quarters, I didn't bow down on the alter of the laundry Gods or do the little laundry dance. That must be where I messed up.
Well, now I have two loads of laundry that aren't anywhere close to dry, so I have to scrounge up some quarters somewhere to dry them again. (I can't be that unlucky that it wouldn't work a second time, right?)
