Man I totally get where you're coming from. Packing cubes just end up being another thing to mess with, you know? I've tried them a few times and every time I'm like why did I even bother. So here's my question: did you try the compression cubes or just the regular ones? Because I think that makes a big difference, the compression ones actually squeeze your clothes down a lot. But even with those, I find they only really work if you're doing a trip where you need a few different outfits and want to keep things separate, otherwise rolling is just simpler. What kind of bags were you using for the cubes?

So did you actually clean it up or just stare first?

Every house has a different rule you gotta follow" made me laugh because that actually sounds kind of good. My buddy Kevin had something similar happen at a laundromat in Waco.

She had index cards taped to the walls with character arcs on them. Kevin said he just kept nodding and trying to fold his socks.
