You know, doing laundry in a community laundry room is not bad at all ...

I moved out of my moms like 3 months ago and have now had to use a community laundry room in an apartment building for the first time. In college I would drive home on the weekends and do it there cause I lived on campus 15 mins from my moms house.

And now that I use the laundry room, I don't mind it one bit and actually like it better than when at my moms home. I mean I ijust did my entire laundry that I hadn't done in 3 weeks in less than 2 hours.

I just put all my clothes to wash in 3 machines at once, then put em all into 2 huge dryers at once, then folded all of it together at once.

Before it was do a wash cycle, put it in dryer as I put a new one in wash, repeat and fold as they dry. I would end up having baskets of laundry sitting around because I would dry something and go do something else then come back later after someone took it out to do their own laundry.

SO basically .. laundry rooms are not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

Yeah, but just taking it home and having your mom do it for you is even easier.

It's not that bad, it just becomes a problem when people leave their sh1t all over the place in the laundry room (whether in machines or just lying around) or they don't understand the unwritten rules of the laundry room, such as if your stuff is done and sitting in a machine and you are not there to retrieve them, another person has the right to move your clothes out of the machine in order to make room for their own clothes (provided no other machine are available).

its not bad except for the price.

. . . except when they steal your just-about broken-in Levis out of the drier, as happened to me in a hotel Houston, and happened again at a hotel in NY

And to think I don't like having to walk to a building about 150 feet away to do my laundry.
The fact that only 3 of the 6 dryers produce any heat doesn't help things, though I did put in a maintenance request last week. Maybe they fixed them since then.
The few resident morons do abuse the stuff. One night, one of the dryers was apparently used to "dry" a whole slew of very muddy clothing. I guess some drunk moron decided that a dryer was the same as a washer.

I do my wash every week, so I only need one machine at a time. I don't even have enough clothing to last me much more than a week, nor do I want more.


But hey, whatever works for you.🙂
