Flinging wet socks across the sky

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?)
