Scamming someone for a quarter....man.

Wife was at the laundry washing and drying our comfortor. See put 40mins on the clock and came back about 5 mins prior to the dryer getting done. She also was drying a black outfit in a separate dryer by itself to keep the lint off it.

Some lady came up to her (I wasn't there) and told her she'd better give her a quarter back or let her put her clothes in the dryer because she 'accidentally' put a quarter in my wife's machine. My wife flat out told her no way. The lady sat and as soon as the next person came back tried the same thing with them. They just gave her a quarter and she sat back down with no laundry at all on her.

My wife told the attendant who wasn't interested in doing anything about it. A couple more people ended up giving her a quarter by the time my wife left.

WTF...

Punch her in the uterus FTW. When she drops the quarters she scammed from other people, buy a soda and/or snack from the machine to make the wait for the rest of the laundry more enjoyable.
 
I thought you were the rich guy who looked down on people who were satisfied with their $5000 car......why don't you have your own washer and drier at home?

Can't wait for the bullshit excuse on this one.

It's so he can post about the poor people at the laundry mat asking for quarters. Oh wait....

You'd think he'd have a front loading washer that would fit a comforter or take it to the dry cleaners but he'll rationalize it some how I'm sure.

Just bought my house in June...didn't come with front loaders but they make top loaders as big regardless. These will be replaced. I am still painting and changing things. The machines are pretty big, just not big enough to do as good a job as a triple loader for a comforter our size. Even if I had the biggest home machines my comforter would have to go to the cleaners.

If you read MisterJackson, she took a comforter there though, not all our clothes.

I wasn't there. Chances are if I was she wouldn't have approached. She was only going up to single women there and not bothering guys or couples.

Sorry to have upset you two in my other post.

Comforters that are more like quilts will fit in the 3.5-4.0 cu ft washers. Mine is an oversized queen.

Most people have ratty ass bed stuff or think jamming something tight into a washer to save a few bucks is the smart way to go.

thank you, please pull through.

What about the black outfit? Was it so big that it wouldn't fit in a regular home dryer too?

It's called getting two things done at once. She wanted to wear it Monday. It's not that hard to understand...
 
May have been a homeless person wanting to get something to eat. If she was just running a straight scam you would think she would approach everybody not just select ones she felt comfortable with.

Except it wasn't comfort, it was threatening.

Usually the strip mall security keeps the riff-raff out, but we get a few people coming from the neighborhood a ways over. They have a ton of coin laundries where they live, but they look like WWIII hit them. My last apartment had tiny machines so we'd use the same laundry once a week. You'd always see a couple derelicts come in and pull the same scams over and over again and then use the tiny top loaders and put everything it says not to in them.

The main scam was claiming they put a dollar in the changer and didn't get change or put a $5 bill in and only got $1 in quarters.

These same people come to the publix in the same plaza and actually replace the small and medium eggs with jumbo ones.

It sucks and we have to have security in an otherwise perfect neighborhood. The wierdest thing is the FHP station is within 50 yards, yet there has been 2 major meat thefts there (basically they load a cart up with meat, dash through the doors and a crew of 3-4 guys throw the whole thing in a truck and flee...the highway is right there).

We have thought about buying a commerical sized machine to be done with it.

an oversized queen comforter = a king sized comforter

i have a Whirlpool Duet 3.8 cu. ft. front-load washer and it cleans a king sized comforter just fine.
