Melodie — I get 5 rolls of quarters at a time (my washers and dryers cost $1.75). That way, I only need to go the bank every couple of months instead of every week.

I actually have a nice quarters-left-in-the-laundry-room story (and in NYC, no less). Usually I only bring down the number of quarters I need to do my laundry. But once I was in a hurry and brought down the whole damn bag of quarter rolls — all $50 worth. And then, in my rush, I left it in the laundry room. I didn’t realize it until the following week when I went to do laundry again. Without much hope, I asked my super if anyone had turned in my bag of quarters. Someone had. My super had been holding onto it, waiting for someone to ask about it. I was so happy!

Thanks – sounds chemically. I’ll stick with the clothesline.

Well, that’s what I get for making a bad pun.

Honey, it would have been a bargain 30 yrs ago when I was a young womble in university. Even in those days it was 50 cents to wash and 30 to dry.

Oedipa,
Thanks for triggering an old lyric…

Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor
Said “You ain’t got a hinge, you can’t close the door.”
Moses stood up a full six foot ten
Said “You can’t close the door when the wall’s caved in.”

You can’t keep your coins in your pocket if your pants are in the washer…

Mystic – it is not size but weight that is the difference.

(not the length, but the GIRTH. OH YEAH. Wrong subject).

If I were the thief, I’d stick the dollar bill up there with duct tape. The Passive Aggressive writing the note didn’t state what type of tape to use…

Ahem…A dryer sheet is a rectangle of lightweight, synthetic, opaque fabric-like material impregnated with artificial scent. It is placed in the dryer with recently laundered garments with the goal of replacing the standard clean-clothes smell with something akin to cheap, nauseating, “I’m wearing this fragrance because I haven’t bathed” perfume. Dryer sheets have been known to induce fierce allergic reactions, including asthma attacks and vomiting. And it seems, tantrums when stolen.

Maybe the person was one quarter short for the dryer, and had planned to return it with interest, but then seen the note and figured this jerk doesn’t deserve the respect. I agree with that thinking. Who cares about a quarter, I dropped more than that getting out of my car.

If s/he knows who did it, why is s/he leaving an anonymous note not addressing the person?

Being an Aussie I have to ask- what’s a dryer sheet?
