My mother keeps insisting I wear this hoodie, cause she bought it

[u/personthatisapersons]

I can't stand it, partially because it had something to do with a baby shower which was before I was born anyway

But mostly because it's AI slop, probably made in a sweatshop, and it's not even that warm or comfortable

Any reason I give is instantly shut down, per usual

If she really is going to stand guard in front of the washing machine 24/7 just wash your clothes at a Laundromat

How much is it now? Haven't been in a few years

[u/YouOpenedItIArrived → u/personthatisapersons]

I can't say for sure but not more than like $5 I would imagine

I actually run laundromats. At least where I am utility hikes have driven up prices a lot sadly. A washer will run you 5.25 at my spot and a dryer will run you 1.25, and a thing of soap will run you 1.00

Oh I see, thanks for the info

Yea, also it sounds like your mom is a complete nut job. Out of curiosity what country do you live in (unless it’s a country where state/provincial/whatever governments have autonomy like the US, Switzerland, etc. then tell me that)

[u/personthatisapersons → u/Planeandaquariumgeek]

I'm in the US, NY specifically

[u/Planeandaquariumgeek → u/personthatisapersons]

Ok, I’m guessing the prices there would probably be a bit lower because utility prices aren’t as insane as where I am

[u/personthatisapersons → u/Planeandaquariumgeek]

Ah okay, thanks
