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?

You must watch very different movies than I do. I immediately envision something dank and dark with flickering lights.

And a naked, bloody clown playing patty cake with his imaginary friend while his clothes wash.

How do you know they’re a clown if they’re naked?

They might just be a juggalo
