I have a very good feeling based on the entirely coincidental fact that I don't know in the least what I'm going to write here. Yeah, feels good.

So, based on something entirely different, just for overusing some words, I'm not entirely going to base this ramblings on anything. No. Not at all. Mmmm... cookies.

So, did I ever tell you about my last attempt at washing? Like, washing clothes, making them clean, you know? You put exhibit A (the clothes) into exhibit B (some kind of machine), then for some weird reason also inserts exhibit C (some kind of smelly white powder) into exhibit B. Yeah. Then you push button, receive time. Er.. no. Push button, insert time, receive, with some luck, clean clothes (what was previously exhibit A). Let's call them exhibit Not Dry. The problem at that point is that exhibit Not Dry is not entirely dry. Instead it's more or less wet. So, then you insert exhibit Not Dry into exhibit D (which is another machine). Then, once more, you push button, insert time, receive washed clothes. Or rather, dry clothes. Please note, though, that this is not the same button as you pushed last time. So, that's what I mean. With washing. Any fool can do it. Many do. Yeah. So onwards with the story already.

I was going to wash some clothes. The clothes were mighty dirty, and not fit for wearing on any kinds of social occasions (such as walking on a sidewalk). So, my brilliant plan was to wash them. I booked a washing time slot in Mr Washing Place A. This is the washing place in this very building where I live. There's 4 exhibit A machines, 2 exhibit D machines, and 2 exhibit Unmentioned machines (you can ignore these).

Upon entering Mr Washing Place A, with lots of dirty clothes (clothes, that wouldn't they be washed, would leave me with unwashed and dirty clothes!), good intentions, innocence etc.

First visual input (except, maybe, hey look! a room!) was that exhibit A #2 was broken. It had a note on it saying this very thing. Second input was that exhibit A #3 seemed fairly broken as well. This was confirmed by pushing a button (not same button as any of those mentioned above), which did entirely not open the hatch (door, thingy) to the machine. But it should have. Great, half of all exhibits A was broken.

I inspect the other exhibit A machines lightly. They seem fine at first inspection, but, yeah you can tell can't you? They didn't work either. Of course, I didn't notice this until I had actually stuffed them with dirty clothes and even (the wasteful horrors of it!) inserted exhibit B into one. Thing was, they didn't start when I pushed button (and this means the very first button mentioned). This was when I noticed that they didn't select a program when you turned the funny round dial thingy. And they always said "finished / remove laundry" (although one of them said that in Polish or something, I believe).

Consequently, I uninserted the dirty clothes into exhibit A #1 and 4, unremoved them from my bag (big plastic blue bag thingy, good for carrying dirty clothes, available at IKEA, get them while they're hot), and left Mr Washing Place A, somewhat unhappy. And irked. And some other things.

Of course, being Mr Clever (or so I wish), I booked a new time slot at Mr Washing Place B (which resides in the very building almost next to this one, and there's a trendy tunnel underground that connects them (this building and that), in a not entirely inconspicuous, but extremely handy, way). I had to wait a while, of course (like 1h30min).

In the end, all exhibits A and exhibits D worked well there. And there were even more of them there, twice as many! Only you can't book that many, but you don't need that anyway, so, yeah, that turned out well in the end too.

Don't you just love those happy endings?
