operating manual

or, my morning at the self-service laundry.

i gain an insight or two today.

firstly, that people mostly do not believe the sign that says, do not use more than a quarter capful of detergent, lest you over-sud the load. this explains why the machines are still full of soap bubbles at the final spin.

secondly, that many people do not trust the first run through, and grimly fork out the coins to wash the same load twice. perhaps if they used less detergent they might be able to get away with once.
