Laundromat blues

Man, I got screwed over by my local laundromat. I put in a load of whites, and when I came back, I discovered that the machine was broken and had not only failed to drain the water, but also didn't even rinse out the detergent, so my stuff was just sitting there in soapy water. And yet, it actually managed to make my clothes dirtier by smearing some sludge all over my poor whites.

And what made it even worse is that my fencing uniform was in there. Why did I take up a sport that requires a pristine white uniform? I should have taken up competitive table tennis. Black shirt, black pants. No fuss, no muss.
