The time savings from using a wash and fold service aren't to be denied, either. You just drop off a huge sack of laundry once every week or two before work, and you pick it up on the way home nicely washed and folded, better than I, at least, would have done it. By the time you buy detergent and fabric softener and dryer sheets, and factor in the time derping around waiting for it to do its thing, especially in a sketchy coin-op laundry or a dank shared basement washroom, it's a little silly to do it yourself. Speaking of course as a bachelor. When you are coupled up, or especially when children are involved, dirty laundry production escalates exponentially and wash-and-fold becomes prohibitively expensive and the capital investment in laundry equipment reduces in importance.

Yeah, I had to use a service for a few years (no laundramats within walking distance) and while it was definitely more expensive than doing it myself, it was pretty great. I was always amused by getting my clothes back in this perfectly rectilinear package. My main complaint was that the service insisted on a pick up/drop off time that was like 7am and I lived on a 4th floor walk up, so I have a lot of memories of getting jolted out of a sound sleep and having to schlep a heavy bag up or down a bunch of stairs.

By the time you factor in all of the insanities of living in a city, there's a lot of things that are a lot silly about it. Seriously. You pay people to do your damn laundry, and brag about it? And I bet there's a social aspect to it also--those people are considered to be lesser than your type, in your eyes, right? I'm guessing I shouldn't bother asking if you can change oil or unclog a toilet? [EDIT: Let me just take this opportunity to shout out a warm, heartfelt "FUCK YOU" to whatever faggot Nazi mod who of course will see this post and get his panties in a twist about it, because he is a pathetic beta loser living in a toxic commie shithole, taking it up the ass daily from his communist boyfriend. All of you and your fellow faggot mods can eat a dick, or a bullet; I don't care which.]
