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 mean you can’t have a rags to riches romance take place where all the riches are.

    In all seriousness, it’s probably the culture. A lot of countries/cities do have settings where laundromats are slightly less angry because it’s the preferred norm for getting things done.

    That, sadly, does not include my local laundromat, which I’m reluctant to tend to during late hours. One could say it’s like the real Five Nights at Freddy’s there.
