Sitting here at the place I call the FUCK YIU, POOR PEOPLE LAUNDRY.

There are only 2 laundromat here.

One is emblazoned with a huge mural inside that says GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS----AUTISM SPEAKS.

I went there for the first 4 years I was here. I had no idea there was any other place to go. The AUTISM SPEAKS laundromat has no single load washers. So you must cough up about $6 or more per washer and $1.75 for 5 minutes of drying time. It us also long and narrow as a shotgun shack. So you are very close to other patrons---mostly creepy oilfield workers.

Then I discovered this place. Sine load waters : $2.50, dtyer: $1.00 per 15 min, a quarter for each 10 minutes.

Which was fine until the last time I came here and it was PACKED with people. I shuffled around with my cane, trying not to trip over rug rats (one woman has brought all 6 of her under 8 yr olds kids another 5 year old girl has brought in a puppy.

I had to leave one basket in order to balance 2 more in a roly Carr & out to the car.

As I do this, someone helps themselves to my laundry basket of freshly clean, folded clothes. They take both of my husband's Bird Dogs pants. They were $125 each and I had to save 2 months to buy them for his Christmas present.

Of course I didn't know this until I got home & hubby went to put up his stuff.

I only stopped here today because it is largely empty.

I go in and randomly begin to stuff my work clothes into the first washer I see. I am realizing I need to separate the clothes further when I reach in and my hand plunges into standing, ice cold FILTHY RANCID WATED that is now soaking all my teaching clothes.

There is no Out of Order sign anywhere on iy.it.

THAT is how this place earned its name.

Ugh!
