Everyone has their interests. Some are more conventional, some are peculiar. This is one of the stranger reasons I've seen people use to congregate and share a common bond:

Laundry.

I don't mean you have someone that you're friends with that you arrange to meet up with for coffee while you both wait for your laundry to get done, or befriending someone at the local laundromat. I mean that these dudes are passionate about doing laundry, to the degree that some of them travel thousands of miles to participate in this washing machine club.

Hey, do what you want to do. I think any reason people find to relate to one another--assuming no one is being unwittingly victimized--is a good thing. The world is a weird place, so if you can find something you love, good for you. As Bill Hicks would say, "Enjoy the ride."

But... laundry?
