I've done laundry on either Wednesdays or Thursdays for roughly the last couple of months. In the past four weeks, in each individual visit, I've been approached by (a) a man selling socks still in the package, (b) a deaf person with one of those "I can't speak, so if you could give me a dollar or two, that's be grrreat..." cards, (c) a woman asking if she could have the quarters that I wasn't going to use, and (d) two men with a box full of cologne and a sales pitch about why I should buy some of their discounted items. I'm okay with it for the most part, but seriously, I just enjoy relaxing while I watch my clothes spin.
The deaf person I immediately ignored by pushing back his card as soon as he set it down on my folding table. I was holding my wife's delicates at the time. He gave me a dirty look and moved on. The woman I listened to and told her that I didn't have any extra quarters. Problem solved. The salesmen were actually pretty nice. I listened to their pitch and explained that I was okay at the moment. Okay meaning that I've never been a cologne-wearer, so their time was being wasted on me. They even told me to have a nice day. The sock-guy kills me. He picked the one place in the world in which I would actually have the majority of my socks with me. Not a real good spot for a sock sale, if you ask me. I guess he could make a habit of stealing socks, waiting for this realization amongst unsuspecting launderers, and then trying to make the pitch. I just wasn't buying it, though. Didn't even take off my headphones.
Also, here's a picture of our cat. Just keeping in line with Matt's picture, which is pretty fucking sweet.
Ours is more on the creepy side, though.

Loose squares! Loose sqares! CDs, DVDs, hair clippers! I got shit on bootleg! C'mon player, buy somethin' I got like 10, no 12 kids at home! I live out in Oak Park, I swear, I just need some gas cuz my car is dead on the road. Looks, I gots me a gas can! Aww, man. Thank you and god bless.
maybe someday your cat will go deaf.
Maybe it has to do with proximity to streets named "Granville." When I lived in Rogers Park, the street people were fucking annoying as well.
