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?

Because some of those angry lonely people are writers, and they have a lot of time to think.

Correct answer.

The people there are mainly bored because they are waiting. And sometimes creativity arises out of boredom.

Daydream, “lots of time to ‘daydream’”

Let’s be honest half the stuff a guy writes is about how to win a girl over and the other half is having sex with said girl.

Nah, it just felt like it because it costs so much to start the machine.

You’re supposed to remove your clothes from your anus before you go to the laundromat.

I won’t make that mistake again.

They did? Try cleaning out better before the anal so the bedding doesn’t get messy.

Well I mean people have to strip naked in the laundromat to wash their clothes. What, you guys don’t do that?

For real though, I’d guess it’s just because it’s sort of a meet-cute type of location since patrons may kill time there while their clothes wash and dry and might chat with other patrons while waiting.
