speaking of the laundry room....we got a flyer asking for suggestions for redecorating it last week.  they had about 10 themes listed (50's rock and roll, ocean, animals, and some other shit) and we were to choose two.  there was also a comments section.

we did not choose any of the suggested themes (lame). here's our comment:

"no need for a "theme".  the laundry room is for adults and there shouldn't be kids under 14 in there without supervision.  what we think would be better is a nice coat of paint, maybe some art posters on the walls, A/C or ceiling fans so we don't have to keep the door open, and some chairs or benches to sit on while waiting.  keep it simple and classy."


right?  yeah i know, how can a laundry room be classy? it really can't, but elvis and marilyn posters on the wall or humpback whales swimming in the sea aren't going to help.  this isn't a 50's diner or a kid's dentist office, it's a freakin' laundry room.  you have a big budget you need to use?  ADD MORE SECURITY!

i'm such a biyotch. *curtseys*



 

we have a laundry room in our apartment complex which is very convenient, but  i gotta stick to doing laundry on the week nights betwenn 8-9 pm when no one is down there or i might kill someone.

12 machines and they all sat full of clean clothes, the display flashing 0 minutes for over forty minutes! 

that's just not right. 

people are so freakin' inconsiderate.  i just sat down there playing solitaire on my phone while i waited for someone to come empty their shit and then gave ms. baddyejob the stinkeye while she moved clothes from 6 of the washers to the dryers.  i'm sorry lady, but this is not your personal laundry room in your home.  you don't get to go take a nap while you're hogging half the washers.  it says 27 minutes right there on the display, so plan your day accordingly.  i'll even give you 15 minutes after the wash stops.  i soooo wanted to yank someone's wet clothes out of there after i'd waited half an hour and pile them on the folding table.  

i haven't had to deal with laundry room etiquette in quite a few years.  tell me, would that have been unacceptable? 

it sure is a good thing i wasn't rushing to get home for trick or treating tonight as in past years.  a sigalert on the freeway stretched a 35 minute drive into a 90 minute drive.  WORST.TRAFFIC.EVER.

i missed taco tuesday at on the border.  where's my margarita?

corey remined me of something else.

do you know that our mailman at home won't deliver the mail if there's a car parked in front of the mailbox?

here's a pic for reference. ignore the yellow arrow (it's from a previous post).

they actually put warning notices on cars that are parked in front of the mailboxes on the curb. i still cannot believe this, but it's true.  there is no sign on the street saying you can't park there and the curbs aren't painted as you can see above.   yet those lazy-ass mailmen/women who drive up in their litle mail trucks can't be bothered to step out of their vehicle to put the mail in the mailbox.

and yes, it's a postal service regulation.  the postal service said it is the mail box owner's responsibility to make sure the box is not blocked.  wow, you mean joe blow is having a party two doors down, so his friend parks in front of our mailbox and we don't get the mail that day? 

that is fucked up.
