Don't complain about the services!!!

You know how at home (or where ever I guess) people warn you to not complain about your food at a restaurant or it will come back from the kitchen with spit or a hair in it. Well, apparently same goes for Lavanderias. I got in an argument (yeah, I was pretty proud of myself) with the laundry lady yesterday because I was supposed to be leaving for Quito around noon and my laundry (originally said to be ready by 11 am) was not done until 1:15 pm. The argument wasn't just because the laundry was late, but also because one of her staff had allowed me to call Quito to tell Emma that I would be late arriving and not to worry. When the owner saw that I had made the call she demanded that I pay her for the phone call as well as my late laundry. I argued that her staff had invited me to make the call because it was technically their fault that I would be arriving late.... and also that I should get a discount on the laundry because it was 2 hrs past its due date. haha. Anyway, in the end I didn't pay for the phone call and agreed to pay the price of the laundry minus 20 cents ($3.20). hahaa....

This morning, however, when I was getting dressed, I put-off and yet amused at the same time to find that in the end the Devil Laundry Lady had won the fight, as my bra that she had just washed and carefully folded was no longer in one piece, but cut down the centre in two.
