is it just me, or are laundromats a breeding ground for weird shit?
the one i went to back when i was living in NY had clown pictures plastered all over the walls. i went there maybe two times before i decided it was worth it to drive back across the river to my mom's house and do laundry there instead.
my current apartment doesn't have laundry (this is a first for me in years) so i go to a laundromat about 2 blocks away. i've seen a crackhead couple smoking cigarettes while their baby sits and cries in a stroller, one guy threatening the owner because the machine stole his change, visit from the cops on numerous occasions, drunk bums sitting and watching prime-time TV... the list goes on.
i actually don't mind it because it's entertaining, but i feel like my clothes are only getting dirtier.
you live in riverwest, are you honestly that surprised?

sounds like the same crowd that hangs out at the DMV or the Social Security office.

Seriously? Why? I don't remember any laundromat in that story. Refresh me please.
edit: NEVERMIND. I just remembered that he worked at a laundromat. Duh.

I have no idea.
Maybe the fact that it was the first book I ever finished, so it kinda stuck with me.
