i seriously have no desire to walk 2 blocks to my car in the leftover slush and clean the snow from thursday night off of it... only to drive it back to my apartment where i have to double park, get out of said car, go back into said apartment and drag not one, but TWO humongous bags of laundry out to it - stepping over the 2 foot high snowplowed banks that are on the sidewalk...
then drive it a few blocks and do everything in reverse at the laundromat... then drive it back in hope there's a parking spot
at least the beauty of having the lady there do my laundry is i don't have to sit in that third world country with migrant children running in and out of the doors blasting cold air in and out as 45 people speak to each other in 67 different languages. nor do i have to sit in my eskimo-worthy coat reading a cheesy novel holding onto my handbag as a homeless guy stumbles in and starts asking people for change. i don't have to check the dryers for the 5th time only to discover my wash is still damp and realize that i will be there for another 3 hours. another perk is, i don't have to attempt folding the clothes which would tack on another 4 hours (not a good "folder")
yes. i used to do my laundry there... but paying through the nose for the past 5 and a half years has been so worth it not to deal with that crap.
unfortunately, the place where not only did i have to pay through the nose, but add an arm and 2 toes - closed down... see, they used to come pick the laundry up and then bring it back... no hassle.
*sigh*
