oh fans do i ever have a story for you!
A LAUNDRY STORY!
guess what, my laundry nemesis is at it again today, three washing machines for a teeny amount of clothes, she separates like this: whites, whites with tiny little colour embellishments (so unnecessary to separate that from whites), and colours. meanwhile i stuff 200 pieces of laundry into one machine (they actually work best when they’re full as hell) anyway the best part of this story is another woman came in a minute after me with laundry and tsk’d when she saw all the machines were taken and i got the adrenaline surge shakes and jumped on this chance don’t you worry yes i did! i said, yeah it’s the same person who does this ALL the time no wait i said i KNOW who it is, takes up three machines for a tiny amount of clothes, what a waste of water and it’s totally rude too. the woman is pretty miffed and in agreement and notices the over-flowing amount of suds in two of the machines and says yeah she uses a LOT of soap too and i say yeah, does it all the time (repeating, driving point home) and i have this huge basket of clothes and it fits into one machine and i mix colours and whites no problem and so now i see that i have successfully got her going i add well she’ll be back down in 20 minutes (pointing to the machine time counting down) heheh. the woman says YEAH AND THEY WORK THE BEST WHEN THEY’RE FULL (something we don’t really know for sure but were told this in a memo and it’s something we like to repeat out loud to each other a lot) i get someone else to deal with the problem that’s been irritating me forever. i was this close to saying someone should really write a note about this (people LOVE writing notes in buildings!) though i did add hey isn’t there a 2 machine limit? woman says yeah but i guess if you’re alone you can use three? i shake my head, implying that’s not the point AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT HERE PEEEEOPLE? i think laundry nemesis is a maid for someone in the building, her laundry obsession leads me to believe this, like always there, and she dresses like a maid would, plus she’s eastern euro and scowls a lot.
god i love the laundry drama llama ding dongs.
no YOU get a life!
ok now i have to run down and swipe a dryer, if she has separated her clothes for drying this time i’m going to speak up! oh i hope i do!
**update**
i went down and there was soap suds all over the floor and laundry nemesis was there too AND the woman and the woman was complaining over the sink ringing out a cloth saying OH JUST TOO MUCH SOAP over and over then sees me and says LOOK! and gestures with both arms to the machine that’s stuffed with soap suds and the nemesis is lookin’ real sheepish, collected her clothes and left looking over her shoulder at me on her way out HA! then i asked the woman if that machine was hers (nemesis’s) (FULL of soap suds like someone dumped soap in a fountain or hot tub scene in a comedy) and the woman says oh no she knows better she has worked here for years and years um yeah sure but you missed the total guilty look she gave me when you weren’t looking. i just shrugged and put my clothes in the dryer and the woman says wow you weren’t kidding that is a LOT of clothes.
ME I WIN!
