At one time, in my pre-Mustachian days, I actually paid for wash and fold services. Looking back, I just want to smack myself because it was such a massive waste of money. Laundromats in general are a waste of money, but at the time I had no idea how easy it would have been to get the equipment to just wash and dry my laundry at home even in an apartment with no hook-ups. That's why things like "Washio" happen. It is laziness combined with lack of knowledge.
Honestly, though, I think the tide is beginning to turn against this pointless "app craze" that swept America. We are going to see a second Tech Bubble pop and a lot of people are going to be out of a lot of money just like 1999 all over again.
