Laundry
From The Encyclopedia of Pointless
Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like doing your laundry at the communal laundry machine in your apartment building. The personalities and clothing you meet are quite often enough to drive the sanest man totally bonkers. These are the personalities that I have sought to catalogue.

The Laundrocrats
These are the lucky people who have their own laundry machine. Oftentimes they will lord this fact over the lesser mortals who must share their washing machines. Having a Laundrocrat as a good friend is a good idea, since usually they will let you use their machine for your clothes.
Nudists
This odd sect of people are characterized for the seeming lack of need for clothing. They are known to put clothes in a washing machine or dryer and then promptly forget about them for a time ranging from hours to weeks. They must be nudists since it seems they don\'t need a majority of their clothes for long periods of time. Nudists tend to keep to themselves for long lengths of time and it is discouraged to befriend them unless they are attractive members of the opposite sex.
College Students
These guys are the lowest of the bunch. They don't even know what a washing machine is, much less what they do. Their idea of washing their clothes is turning them inside out. On the bright side you don't have to compete with them for the washing machine, but on the downside they smell nasty. Whether they are friend or foe really depends on your olfactory senses.
Crazy People
Uhere really isn't any other name for these folks. The real problem with these folks is they're not content with simply being crazy, they have to constantly remind you. The most common, and most infuriating, is when they leave various articles of eccentric clothing at the machine. Let me tell you, there's nothing worse than taking a load of whites to the machine only to find three pairs of roman centurion armor and the head of a rabbit costume laying about. It's pretty unsettling.
== Space Aliens == this isn't a metaphor for anything. I really mean space aliens. Space aliens that come and steal your clothes, and occasionally borrow a cup of sugar. They're pretty nice, and for exchange for an exploratory surgery they'll let you use their cleanse-a-tron.
