RING RING: OCD TIME!

Not only do I get stupid people in person but I get them on the phone too.

This lady called 4 times to ask the same question with different wording and on the fourth time, I felt like telling her she has OCD. Her question was if this was ____________ Laundromat and four times I said yes. Well, one time out of the four she asked if this was a laundromat with other services as well. I didn't bother to ask what she meant by "other" but I hope she isn't thinking that we provide happy endings along with clean bedsheets and underwear.


Speaking of underwear, ladies... if you are wearing a thong and you are on your period, please invest in a tampon or at least pads cut out for thongs. This lady yesterday decided to go off on me because the blood wasn't removed from the underwear. I explained to her the following:

"Ma'am, unfortunately blood doesn't come out of clothing unless you pre soak it on the day it gets stained. If blood did come off of clothing and items, then serial killers wouldn't be caught."

I don't think she was too happy with my explanation. Especially the last sentence, she gave me a look as if I am disturbed. No lady, I'm not disturbed. As a matter of fact, I am disgusted that you decided to yell out that you stain your underwear with blood. I should have told her to invest in the products that I mentioned above but I just stood there listening to her tell me how her clothes should be watched. "You should do it yourself next time" is what blurted out of my mouth. She asked for the manager and I said she was speaking to the manager. The end result was that she did it herself to prove me wrong... except that she failed horribly at proving me wrong. She bleached her underwear and the blood was still there. I tried not to laugh but I thanked her for her apology (which is rare) and she went on her merry way. She came by today and dropped off more clothes to be washed and she left a generous tip. I felt like saying "keep it so you can invest in the goods" but I didn't. See how good and professional I can be at times? It's rare with stupid people...

Other then that, people are still banging on my machines and it's the same people sometimes. When I call it on them they say "oh I forgot!" Maybe I should really consider banging their head against the washer, maybe then they will remember my words. Don't fuck with your laundry person... they may seem nice and quiet, but really we could be plotting.
