I'm a subscriber to this service and I can verify it is awesome. I'm rarely home (nor does my apartment or building have machines), the wash & folds close to me are known to lose laundry, and I absolutely don't have time

Is the offline version of this strategy efficient? By that I mean if we're standing in a room together are you less likely to be an asshole to me than when you're behind a keyboard? This method is simply trying to replicate the of
