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.
Well I mean people have to strip naked in the laundromat to wash their clothes. What, you guys don’t do that?
For real though, I’d guess it’s just because it’s sort of a meet-cute type of location since patrons may kill time there while their clothes wash and dry and might chat with other patrons while waiting.
I mean you can't have a rags to riches romance take place where all the riches are.
In all seriousness, it's probably the culture. A lot of countries/cities do have settings where laundromats are slightly less angry because it's the preferred norm for getting things done.
That, sadly, does not include my local laundromat, which I'm reluctant to tend to during late hours. One could say it's like the real Five Nights at Freddy's there.
Lol having sex in a laundromat is not going to go over well
You didn't see the movie "My Beautiful Laundrette".
See, movies and TV shows are so unrealistic. Dry Cleaning is where the action is.
Ugh! No lube?
I go to the barber for my head.
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:
Because it smells like home
Is this about My Beautiful Laundrette?
And a young Daniel Day Lewis.
