Everybody always presents laundromats in tv shows and movies as this sexy place where you meet horny singles who aren’t wearing underwear because it’s in the wash.

But in real life, that just isn’t true. The laundromat has angry people who don’t want to be there, and nobody EVER has sex, or takes their clothes off.

So why are laundromats always presented like that?

    I live in a college town. The laundromat nearest me has a bar.

      I’ve seen one laundromat/bar like that, and instantly thought it was genius.

      I miss Sit and Spin in downtown Seattle. Cafe in the front, bar and event venue in the back and laundry on the side.

        Leaving the dancefloor to move your laundry from washer to dryer would be one of the most surreal experiences I think I can imagine.
