I Just want dry panties please!!

I have some thoughts on community laundry mats (well, community anything actually). First off, yes I have been very lucky to never have to use one in my 32 years of life. And for the love of Pete, I hope to never have to use one again.

When It comes to comfort, I (well ok Greg) spare no expense, so my issue is not with the $1.50 it costs to do a load of laundry and 1.50 if costs to do a load in the dryer(unlike mema who was bitching up a storm). My issue, is with the fact that it actually does not take $1.50 to dry a load of laundry ~ the $1.50 gets the laundry just dry enough to tease you and get you excited that you will finally (after 5 days) have dry pair of underwear, sweat pants and sheets. Then when you pull the laundry out of the dryer, you quickly realize that everything is still slightly ‘damp’. If you have ever camped you know that damp is NOT good. So you look around for a change machine ~ NONE ~ walk back to dig for more quarters ~ NONE ~ Go to the store to get change (closed at 5) so ~ NONE.

So when I return to the RV, defeated and tired, from carrying laundry back and forth (up-hill ~ both ways) I am told that everyone knows this bit of information – bla bla bla. Well I didn’t – so I suggest putting up a sign that reads;

$1.50 for dryer; however this will not get all of your cloths dry in one spin because we are trying to suck every quarter out of your wet, dirty pockets! We kindly suggest that you either A) make sure you have enough for 3 spins because that is really what it costs OR B) Take out your cloths, place in dryer and screw everyone else!

Or just put a dang change machine in the laundry mat!
