Today I had to explain a couple of times the difference between softener and soap as well as comforter and bed sheets. These people that do not belong to me, meaning that they are not regulars at the laundromat, do not know the difference between the two. Here are a couple of definitions... I just HAD to post this because it pisses me off to no end when I have to sit there for 5 mins to explaining the above... and I want to KILL THEM when they tell me after the explanation "no understand English". Well a big FUCK YOU to you for wasting my time! I normally do NOT curse but when I'm pissed, I let loose.
COMFORTER: bedding made of two layers of cloth filled with stuffing and stitched together. Comforters cover the mattress, but not the box spring. Since the top and bottom fabrics of a Comforter are quilted together with a filling material in between, they are usually fluffier and thicker than a bedspread or coverlet. YOU USE IT DURING THE WINTER TO KEEP YOU WARM.
BED SHEETS: A bed sheet is a large piece of cloth used to cover a mattress. It is this sheet that one typically lies on.
SOAP: A cleaning agent used to wash a variety of items or persons. (Not the best quote but I like it... it made me chuckle)
SOFTENER: A product designed to impart a soft mellowness to the fabric.
I use the following example at times so people could understand the difference. Surprisingly it works and I do NOT need pictures:
Think of soap and softener as shampoo and conditioner... You use soap to wash your hair and conditioner to soften your hair. You use soap to wash your clothing and conditioner to soften your clothes and eliminate excess soap. Its not that hard of a concept.

How come it's showing wednesday's date?
ReplyDeleteIs this laundry you do or they do? If someone told me they had no fucking clue what I just said, I'd just shove it back at them and go "Here, have fun." I had to do that once for a lady who didn't know the difference between matte and gloss sprays. She took me around in circles with the same stupid questions over and over until I put both in her hands, smiled and walked away.
