    How about this:

    At the apartments I recently moved out of, there were no quarter slots on the washing machines. They were an app that required a bluetooth connection to pay.

    So if you lived there and didn’t have a smartphone? Go fuck yourself, you don’t get to do laundry.

    Unless you bothered to check the laundry room when you were looking at the apartment, you wouldn’t know. No warnings.

      The more insane thing here for me is the fact that there isn’t a washing machine inside your apartment.

      (btw lived in such once, apparently the owner wasn’t very wealthy. We washed everything by hand)

        It’s actually incredibly common in US apartments for laundry to be a common area.

        Having a unit in your apartment means you’re at least well-to-do. Poor people can mostly go fuck themselves.

          Well-to-do? That is weird, because here not having a washing machine in the apartment would be weird even for a poor person.
