There&#8217;s a picture of blue jeans, panties, Capri pants even. <\/p>\n<p>So my first laundry experience on my first Sunday night at 1:00 AM went pretty much without a hitch. This week, I went down with my laundry bag, detergent and my &#8220;delicates&#8221; (laptop and textbooks). Well, apparently I wore more pants on the second week because the dry detergent that I use wouldn&#8217;t dissolve. I removed my jeans to find large white stains on them. Apparently, I overloaded the washer and the powder wouldn&#8217;t dissolve completely. I had to pony up another just $1.50 just to create a second load from what I judged to be the least washed of the initial load. I also don&#8217;t have any stain remover, which is bad news for a sauce lover like myself.<\/p>\n<p>The stories proved true. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t remove your clothes from a finished machine, someone will commandeer it and pile your clothes on top.<\/li>\n<li>The laundry room is busy during the oddest of hours.<\/li>\n<li>It sucks ass to do laundry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It remains operating from the early hours all the way to 3 in the morning. Those fourteen hours see their share of behavior. I came down once to find two Chinese students spooning on a table. But mostly people just watch Youtube or use their Macbooks to video conference with their boyfriends. (Not that that stopped the Chinese students.)<\/p>\n<p>P.S. My cameras still out of commission, so no photos of the laundry room, or the place where I work or of the exhibitionists on my floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our laundry room is in the basement.
