The Laundry Room

I hadn’t done laundry in a few weeks, something a dirty hippie like myself who wears the same clothes for days on end can get away with easier than you prissies out there who wipe your brow with your bath towel and then immediately have to throw it in the laundry. As it was taking longer and longer to find a pair of clothes from my laundry bag whose smell didn’t make me gag immediately upon removal from the bag, I finally gave in and went down to the laundry room and filled up both washers with my repulsively dirty clothes.

I didn’t make it a priority to change my clothes to the dryer and went out for a walk with my dog. When I got home, I started to work on finishing the second draft of my first book. Hours had passed and it was about 1:00 a.m before I decided to go down to change my laundry. Gracing the top of one of the washers was a note intended for me. It said:

PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE AND REMOVE YOUR LAUNDRY WHEN IT IS DONE SO OTHERS MAY USE THE WASHER & DRYER.

The note was written very neatly, which means it came from either a girl or one of the many fags in the building. It was written in all capital letters and the underlined section above was actually double-underlined, which meant the person was pissed.

I wrote a reply on the same piece of paper under her note and left it on the washer, as I shifted my clothes to fill both dryers with no intention of ever removing them, committing myself to walking barefoot and never again wearing underwear–which wouldn’t be so hard for me, as I am always walking barefoot anyway and I had given up underwear for Lent last year and, besides the occasional skid mark on my jeans, it was smooth sailing!

You are correct. I was working on finishing the draft of my first book which I am going to present to the ones who will make it happen and when I am in flow, time disappears. What I and others do when encountering the action of an inconsiderate laundry jerk like myself, is remove their clothes and put them on the table. I may be an inconsiderate jerk but you, my friend, lack ingenuity! :)  –2A
