Everybody always presents laundromats in tv shows and movies as this sexy place where you meet horny singles who aren’t wearing underwear because it’s in the wash.

But in real life, that just isn’t true. The laundromat has angry people who don’t want to be there, and nobody EVER has sex, or takes their clothes off.

So why are laundromats always presented like that?

      Bud, if you’ve ever encountered an angry meth zombie trapped in an enclosed space with you, you’d know the pain.

            Congrats on being privileged to never need to go through that hell, and talking down to those who did.

            I don’t need to justify myself to you, but my response to the other poster was completely valid. If he’s using terms like “meth zombies” and denigrating public facilities that allow addicts to enter because of their presence then he deserves every ounce of contempt he gets.

            I’ll accept a thank you for the explanation but any other response will result in a block.

              Theres a difference between addicts and junkies. Junkies have my empathy but I really understand why someone wouldn’t want to spend prolonged times in the same space with one.
