A Country Bumpkin Offering Sunshine

The first post was supposed to be positive. I should feel blessed to even have a laundry facility in a rental building. However, going down to the laundry room with no luck several times is getting my nerves. Call me nuts if you enjoy doing laundry in the public laundry room.

Earlier, I had a good mood and brought my small bottle of 3-time-concentrated detergent down to the laundry room. One out of only two washers was down again. Someone forgot to take out his/her clothe from the working washer, which means I would have to wait. I timed myself with alarm. The washed clothe was still in the washer. “Would you like some stranger to touch your clean clothe without asking you?” questioned in my mind. I had to go back to check over and over again until the washer is empty.


2:15 PM found out one washer was down
2:45 PM finished clothe in the only working washer was sitting in it
3:00 PM same as the above
3:40 PM two dryers were occupied; some wet clothe was on the top of a operating dryer
4:20 PM same situations
5:00 PM discover the washer was used by someone else and my Sunday afternoon ruined
6:05 PM finally got a chance to use the only surviving washer
6:35 PM pissed off by a guy taking out my clothe from the washer for his own convenience
6:40 PM still felt so depressed by this nasty guy’s behavior

My husband and I have lived in the same old building since the end of 2001. Even though we did upgrade to a better apartment last year, this kind of small frustration is always reminding me my life is going no where farther. How miserable it sounds like to fight against my laundry duty!! I am madly struggling with this chore every week. My first wish would be to own a personal laundry facility if Aladdin's lamp appeared. I have to run for the laundry now.
