Laundry Room

[azurelunatic]

I was just informed by the random dude in the wheelchair that the laundry room closes at ten, and I was going to get all my stuff locked up. I'm sure he was trying to be helpful. I took it as a personal affront, however.

I am certain that there are plenty of other times that I could be doing my laundry. Like, I could do it any time on Monday or Tuesday, or on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, or I could get up before work and do it then. I am not pleased with the laundry room hours, though. Why do they have to do that? More to the point, how do I complain about it without sounding like a whiny teenager with an entitlement problem?

Explain that due to your working hours it's not always possible or convenient for you to get your laundry done earlier.

Pin the blame on your work - most people will understand that, and by sympathetic.

"and other committments" -- because I do run that writing group downtown, and that and the plasma take all day.

Put the emphasis on work, though.

[azurelunatic]

Yep.

You might ask the rationale for it closing at 10PM, and only after that point out that your working hours make it difficult.

The laundry room has successfully operated without hours for the past five years. The only difference I am seeing now is that it is dirtier.
