Do dryers have cooties?
A week or two ago,I learned pretty quickly that the little white sheets were not, in fact, fabric softner. No, they were Clorox wipes. And she was using them to disinfect the inside of the dryer.
I don't understand.
Is this something that people do? Because I've never seen it before, and I've soent a fair amount of time in laundromats much more public than the one in my building. I mean...I can see peering into the dryer to see if maybe someone's pen exploded in there or something, but I'm positive that there was nothing visibly wrong with her dryer.
Part of me can almost see being frightened of other people's cooties in the laundry room. Almost. The part that trips me up here, though, is that she was wiping out the dryer. Yanno, the recepticle for clean and freshly washed clothes. If it were an issue of cooties, wouldn't it make more sense to wipe out the washer?
I really, really don't get it. Does that woman know something about the dryers in my building that I don't? Because if they have cooties, I would like to be told. Also? I'd like to know what sort of cooties are still living after the spin cycle because this is all very foreign to me.
