SPS: Laundry Day

This post is the first of a series of short posts about an idea or event that I experienced and captured on camera. Unlike the rehashing of the previous posts, these will be fairly short with more multimedia (photos, videos and sound clips) Just to be cool, I've decided to call these SPS (short post series). With that, read on.





Doing laundry isn't the most exciting thing in the world for anyone in their right mind. What makes it much less desirable is having to pay for each wash and dry cycle. I'm not talking about chump change kinda paying either. It's a significant investment to get clean clothes around these parts. Knowing that, I purchased a cool piggy bank for laundry money.



Back at USC for this past semester, washing clothes was a whopping $1.25USD for each wash and dry cycle. I thought that was too much because we should have been able to do it for free with the extra fees assessed living on campus. Also, for the first two years laundry at USC was only $1. Normally I take use about 3 or four washing cycles and 2 drying cycles. That adds up ESPECIALLY when each cycle here at Urbanest cost $3AUD!!


I guess the money goes to paying the cable bill, providing cool chairs, and sliding doors for the idiots who pay such outrageous prices. My first trip to the Urbanest laundry room cost me $15. That could have been a new shirt, bus fare for a week, a nice meal out or even a few bucks saved for a rainy day. Like my more frugal neighbors suggested, I should have just hung my underwear up to dry on the pin boards provided our bedroom. My response to that is:





Kind regards,
