Broken Wing

Laundry facilities

One of the nicest things about my new place is that it contains laundry facilities inside the apartment. My current house has free laundry facilities too, but they are two floors down from my bedroom, and I have the knees of an octogenarian. Not to mention the fact that now I live with four other people, and it can be difficult to get access to the laundry facilities sometimes.

Living with four others, its pretty much inevitable that if you have the idea to do laundry, someone else had the same idea exactly four seconds before you, and will thus beat you to the machines. Nobody likes to go all the way into the scary basement only to find out the washer is busy, so most people ask the other people who are home if they are doing laundry. Sometimes someone will ask me, and I'm not doing laundry, but I need to. In this case it is best to lie, because my laundry is the most important (at least that I know of). "Well, Heath is doing laundry now, and I've got stuff down there waiting, like 6 loads at least. It's going to be a while so you might as well give up." "Wait, I don't hear anything down there." "Hey, Columbo, maybe it's on the Wrinkle-Shield cycle. Now don't ask me anymore questions unless you want to navigate the labyrinth of our basement yourself."
