I simply chalked it up to a bad day (and the unbearable heat of summer) and decided to go do my laundry that evening. The manager of the facility is a nice-looking lady who often appears to be a bit stand-offish (I've always assumed that she gets hit on quite often by some of the men who go in there).
Take the opportunities as they come
I did have to bug her about what types of bills I could use in the change machine, but other than that, I left her alone.
Well, about 20 minutes into my laundry chores, she comes up to me holding some loose trash in her hands and says, "I can't believe some people. They bring their trash from their car and just leave it on the chairs."
"That must get pretty annoying," I said.
"Yeah, it is," she continued, "But I'm going to tell my boss, so he can finally do something about it."
Oh, I thought you were the owner."
"No, I am just the manager."
"Oh, that surprises me since you dress so nice and are very professional."
In other words, guys, at some point in your relationship with a woman, you are going to have to have a conversation with her. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
BTW
I did NOT ask this lady out.
