I don't know why, but whenever I go to do laundry, I met the strangest people. Last night it happened again! I was in the laundromat in downtown Newmarket, putting the clothes in the washer, when the guy at the next washer takes off his shirt and puts it in with his laundry. That alone wouldn't have been all that bad. But then, he starts to unbuckle his pants! I just turned my head, fed quarters into the machine, and left. I was hoping that my laundry would be safe while I was gone. The laundry actually was clean when I came back and that guy was gone. THANK GOODNESS!
However, that is not the only strange encounter I have had in the laundromat of downtown Newmarket. Two years ago, in the midst of the presidential primary, there was a guy in the laundromat with a parrot on his shoulder. Again, I just turned my head and avoided eye contact. However, I was wearing my Howard Dean t-shirt. The guy with the parrot on his shoulder, a live parrot, came up to ask me a question. He wanted to know if I worked for Howard Dean. I told him that I was only a volunteer for Howard. Parrot Man was impressed. Then Parrot Man told me that he had been one of Howard Dean's patients back in Vermont. I asked Parrot Man how Howard was as a doctor. Parrot Man said he was a fine doctor but that he asked strange questions. What could be a strange question for a man with a parrot on his shoulder in a laundromat? Where is your ship is one that comes to my mind. So, yeah, weird people inhabit the laundromat. And they are always there when I am there.
I guess I just look friendly. WHATEVER! The moral of the story: Don't do laundry in Newmarket if you can help it!
See, yet another reason why you should stay at home instead of going to do laundry! You wouldn't miss my calls plus you could avoid all those strange people. Although it does sound rather interesting.
