Hugo recently moved out, and his flat mate Maddy was initiating him into the cruel hard world of the local laundromat.
“Why can’t you just upload your washing and download it when it’s done? You can do everything else online.”
“OMG, Hugo! You’re such a Neanderthal. Doing your own washing is all part of becoming a responsible adult. You’re 18. Time to embrace DIY! Besides, why do you think I come here? Or, didn’t you notice we have our own washing machine? Going to the laundromat is so much more than doing your laundry.
“Hi Hamish, fancy seeing you here.”

I wonder how many romances began at the local laundromat?
This has been another contribution to Friday Fictioneers hosted by Rochelle Wisoff Fields at Addicted to Purple. We’d love you to join us.
Best wishes,

Beyond the Flow 
Love the idea of uploading your dirty laundry and downloading it all clean and neatly folded. Great idea! Well done,.
I think we’d all love that. It wasn’t an entirely original idea but I did put my own spin on it.
Hope she knows which way to swipe
I reckon you made it better at least.
This is the second story I’ve read about “hooking up” in the laundromat. Never had that experience in real life when I was using them back in the day.
The real reason revealed. She’s killing two birds with one stone, so good on her!
Haha, this girl’s got her sights set on something other than laundry!
Well, I suppose it’s a nice clean way to meet someone 🙂
Heck, why not hook up at a laundromat? Probably a lot of young people there.
My launderette is like a social club, well, almost!
This is a multi-purpose laundramout.
Nice she is taking the young man under her wing.
Great idea to use the laundry as a social spot. 🙂
She knows what she’s doing 🙂
I’m with him. I think it should be online, too! Well done.
A good place to meet girls. Fun story. I wish I could upload washing and cleaning, too.
Interesting meeting place. I’ve heard it was a good place to pick up the opposite sex. I guess you can tell a lot about a person by the way they do their laundry AND what they wear underneath. Boxers or briefs?? LOL! 🙂
I think it has pretty good potential for meeting someone and easy to start up a conversation.
We all do. If only we could invent that we’d never have to work again and would be living on Easy Street.
Most definitely! I had cluey friends like that back in the day. Very savvy. Sometimes I look back and feel I missed the instructions although there were people more clueless than I.
Yes. So many of us need a helping hand with dating.
Yes, indeed.
I spotted a laundrette when I was house sitting down at Cremorne on Sydney Harbour and I’ll be heading back there in a few weeks and might check it out for research or send my “kids” in who are now in their late teens.
A promising lesson, Rowena. Now, I wonder if AI will ever be able to do the laundry. 🙂
