Whites, colors, darks. It seems like doing laundry would be a fairly simple task, but for many people there just isn't the time. Enter a place like By the Pound, where you can simply drop off your clothes and pick them up later, clean and folded. Sure, it may be a bit awkward to have someone launder your "private items," but it's all about convenience. Well, unless you're the poor protagonist in this story, who soon finds that his bag of clothes may have to sit unclaimed at the wash and fold laundromat because he's too embarrassed by the items inadvertently left in the side compartment of his laundry bag.
A hilarious short story from Emmy-nominated cinematographer, author and drummer for The John Popper Project, Marcus Bleecker.
The story just continues to get funnier and funnier. I highly recommend it for adults who enjoy irony and humor.
