Seriously, I love using the 24 laundromat on campus. It’s great because (obviously) it’s open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, even on holidays. No parent takes their kid to do laundry at night so you can be sure that if you go around 10pm or later there are no screaming kids running around under foot either. Plus, across the hall, there’s a convenience store and down the hall is a computer lab. Not to mention the laundromat has free wi-fi too. It’s just awesome!

Of course, there are always people that have to ruin things though.

Yeah, the door has been pulled off. Not the first time I’ve seen that sadly. People are also notorious for leaving their trash, kids’ toys, and other junk lying around. Oh, and they love going off and leaving laundry on the tables and in the machines too.

Messy looking isn’t it? And to think, this is a good night. I’ve also seen the glass on some of the doors smashed in, someone ripped off the change machine from the wall once and it’s never been re-installed, there’s been interesting things hanging off the ceiling like food and what seriously looked like blood. The toilets backed up with newspapers shoved in the toilet bowls and feces smeared on the walls. There’s times the floor looks like a garage floor because it’s covered in grease puddles and puddles of other questionable substances. Then of course there are times when you have to put up with some crazy people there too.

It’s been better though since they’ve had security guards checking in randomly at night. Still though, I wish people would take better care of the facility. When it’s not trashed the place is nice and cozy to sit in, there are two big screen tvs with satelite, the wi-fi is super fast, and the chairs comfy as hell. I love going there and using my laptop there while I do my laundry. According to some of the guards I spoke with though, if things keep going the way they are the laundromat will start closing around 12 o’clock at night. Now that would really suck. Bad apples always spoil it for everyone else.
