Reasons Why JTS Is Going To Make Me Crazy, #1 In An Anticpated To Be Ongoing Series

[debka_notion]

Or, well, crazier than I already am.

1. The new laundry machines work on a card-only system. It is $5 to buy a card, which then gives you $3 to actually use. Furthermore, the machine Only takes $5, $10, and $20 bills, and one must have exact change to buy a card.

Since I had a $10 and a $1, I first went upstairs once I had my laundry already in the machine, and found someone with her door open, and asked if she had change. She gave me 10 $1 bills for my $10. So I went downstairs, tried that, and then realized that the machine didn't take $1 bills. I contemplated stalking the halls, and decided against it, and instead ran out to the corner store, bought a thing of candy (that I don't need, but am eating at least some of anyways) and got a $5. I returned to the basement, and finally bought my card, and put in my load of laundry. It should be done in 35 minutes. However, both dryers are full, and they run for 55 minutes. Brilliant, huh? I really need a drying rack for my room.

cause machines that only accept quarters arent inconvenient enough

Cards are not bad once you get used to them - assuming, that is, they are same kind we have. Much as it is sometimes annoying, there is something to be said for not having to collect quarters. I am always careful to ensure I have a $10 bill in my wallet a few days before laundry day.
