Laundromat Saga

There's no convenient time to do laundry in New York.  To add to this, the majority of New Yorkers have a shit ton of clothes and next to no closet space.  Creating dirty laundry is like that evil little birdy screaming in your ear, at least for me it is, saying "when are you going to do laundry, you have no clean underwear, when are you going to find time to do this, what are you going to wear tomorrow if you don't do it......?" Now of course there are tons of ways to dodge doing laundry ie. not wearing underwear, wearing clothes you haven't worn in ages, going out and buying socks, however, there comes a time when you MUST work up the energy to gather alllllllll your dirty shit and plug to the laundromat........
Well let me tell you that I was in this very position on Monday.  Not only hadn't I don't laundry in, I would say, two months, but I also decided I would find another way around the conditions of doing laundry and DROP IT OFF FOR WASH N FOLD! wow who woulda thunk it.  Anyways, I had 27 lbs, I repeat TWENTY SEVEN POUNDS OF DIRTY LAUNDRY.
I come back to pick it up about three hours later and as I am walking in the door the lady that was folding my clothes was literally crying, I had made her very upset with my laundry.  She takes one look at me and gets up in my face screaming "TOO MUCH CLOTHE, PAY ME MORE, HOW LONG YOU WAIT TO DO LAUNDRY!? TOO MUCH UNDAWEA, YOU LAUNDRY TAKE TOO LONG, TOO MUCH UNDAWEA, TOO MUCH UNDAWEA!" (the larger font signifies heightened volume).
I proceeded to get very angry and loud back at her "THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, I PAID YOU TO DO MY LAUNDRY, GET OUT OF MY FACE!" I then grabbed the remaining unfolded clothing off the table, she snatched them out of my hands and tried to start folding them again with her face wrinkled up and frowning, I snatched them back, yelled "CALM DOWN YOU PSYCHO" and got the F out of there!!
I just wanted to share my little laundry saga with you all.  Like Ryan always says, "its the greatest thing when reality is funnier than made up stuff" or something like that......
