My building's laundry room runs on quarters. The washers cost either a dollar-fifty or two dollars for a cycle, depending on the model, and the dryers give a certain amount of time for each coin put in. When things don't work, it's usually either gross mechanical failure, or the machines eat the quarters and you're out that money.

Today it didn't work in the opposite direction: the dryer thought I'd put in twice as many quarters as I actually had. It failed positive.

But as nice as it was to have that free time, I didn't need it. So I passed it onto the woman who'd finished her washing just as my towels were done.
