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?

    Seattle used to have a combination laundromat/bar that was called Sit and Spin.

    Never had a chance to go. I imagine it was a very horny place. Also at the time median age in Seattle was like 23.

      I lived downtown Seattle in the 90s, close enough we just walked to Sit and Spin with our laundry. Best way to do laundry ever.

      Also they were reasonably priced since they made most of their money off the cafe (which had really good food).

      I’ll have some of those memories for life.
