the laundromat: take two

since i finished work early today, i thought i'd try my luck at the laundromat. again, i walk down with my bucket full of clothes. as i walk through the door, a man comes out to greet me:

him: i'm sorry, we're closed
me: what?!
him: we close early on a thursday
me: fuck. fuck fuck fuck.
him: unless you want to leave it with me for a service? it's only a couple of pounds extra*
me: uhh... yeah okay.i think for a bit but how do i know you won't sell my underwear?
him: ermm.... *pause whilst he realises that i am serious* i wouldn't do anything like that. is it that expensive?
me: yes!
him: no, i wouldn't.
me: okay, well make sure you don't. and it can't go in the dryer either.
him: it will be ready tomorrow. it'll be £6.10
me: thanks.

as i walk out, i check the opening hours on the door to make sure they don't close early tomorrow too.

*my flatmate is a liar. he told me it was 40p when i first moved in.
