Why are laundromats sexy? (lemmy.world)

Everybody always presents laundromats in tv shows and movies as this sexy place where you meet horny singles who aren't wearing underwear because it's in the wash.

But in real life, that just isn't true. The laundromat has angry people who don't want to be there, and nobody EVER has sex, or takes their clothes off.

So why are laundromats always presented like that?

Be the change you want to see. Strip naked in the laundromat, lead by example...

I immediately thought of this sexy flight of the Conchords music video:

Remember the Levi's classic ad 1985, now I feel old.

Is this about My Beautiful Laundrette?

And a young Daniel Day Lewis.

Because it smells like home

Because if people wanted to see angry people who don't want to be there, they would just go to a laundromat in real life.

It's kind of what I liked about Baby Driver, the movie acknowledges that a laundromat is kind of a weird place to hang out for a date, but the awkwardness lets the passionate feelings they have for each other shine through.
