Laundry.

Let me tell you about doing laundry in a laundry mat. It sucks. I take my load of clothes over to the mat and proceed to enter my $5 bill into the change machine. Doesn’t take. I try again, no luck. I smooth the bill out and slip it into the machine again - this time it takes it, then spits it back out and then takes it in again. After about 4 seconds my $5 comes back out of the machine and falls onto the ground. I repeat this process for the next ten minutes, and with each failure, my anger at this machine rises. By the 20th or so try I honestly think about trying to break the machine, but then a sign reminds that the whole place is under video survalience, scratch that. So I load my clothes back into the car and go to the nearest gas station and get five, one dollar bills. Back into the car and back to the laundry mat. I unload my clothes once again, and stare down the dreaded change machine. I put the first bill and in and success! Next one, no luck, next one, no luck. Screw this. I look at the change machine next to the one I am about to punch and it says out of serivice. Well it can’t be any worse than the machine I am using, so I slowly slide the first dollar in - it takes! Change comes out! Next bill, success! Whatever. I get my clothes going and hop back in my car to head home, which thankfully is only about 20 seconds away. I can only imagine what fun and adventures await me once I go back to load the dryer. Where is my mom when I need her.
