Tacky .. At the laundromat!

For years, I'd been calling it a 'laundrymat' but it always got caught in autocorrect!

Honestly, I said laundrymat, so now I really emphasize the O when I talk to friends. "Hey, after work, I'm heading to the LAUND-OOOOOOO-MAT!"

This is a bit of a quickie, and it slightly has a bit of reality to it, that focuses on my real life. When my forever person died, it was during Covid, and it was quite risky to spend a few hours in a laundromat, so I had a few friends that would let me drop off a batch or two of laundry and they'd do it for me, and I'd pick it up. She was the one that did laundry on Sunday nights. Then in 2021, I started dating a woman with a washer and dryer, so I'd go over on weekends to her house and do it there. When that relationship ended, I had to actually start going to a laundromat to clean my clothing, which I'd never done before.

I had to go to a ghetto one for awhile, until I found a much better one about 12 miles away. Since I want to spend as little time as possible there, I do laundry every week, right after work. That last day, and I think it's the same for a lot of people who do the same as I do .. You're at the very last of the clean clothing, and you are wearing the worst clothes that you have that haven't been donated to charity at that moment. Underwear with holes, shirts with marinara stains that never fully came out, mismatched socks, etc .. 

And so when I saw this picture, of someone in a wig, heels and a flouncy negligee, I didn't really see it as a sexy image, but one of .. "oh that dude ran out of clean clothes!" and I went and leaned into it. Is that guy telling the truth, or bullshitting her .. I honestly don't know. I'm still going more towards enjoying being out in public looking like that, but he's not lying either. That getup would NOT look sexy with crocs on! then again, I don't think crocs are the slightest bit sexy .. ever, but that is probably my cross to bear, not yours.

PS, I have worn women's panties on wash day at the laundromat for that exact reason. I ran out of underwear but couldn't get to the laundromat for 2 more days, so I wore my 2nd forever person's panties that were left behind (I still have some of her clothing here I need to donate.) So I get the protagonist's mindset, no matter whether he was telling the truth of not!
