I wouldn’t actually do this, but for some reason I’m just fascinated with these unbelievably simple methods of circumventing the system.
Just like the How to Pick a Padlock, this method of using a coin operated washing machine for free is so simple it makes you wonder how they would ever collect any money in these machines!

“There is always more misery in the lower classes, than there is humanity in the higher”
No. I would never do it.
but what about the ones with just a little coin slot?
My landlord is greedy and installed a coin machine in my apartment where I’ve been living for 6 years paying a very nice price in rent … so ummm .. YES I would cheat it. I’m a single disabled mother of 2 … so yea!
I can’t afford it, to add to a comment someone made, I honestly have had to wash clothes out in my sink and ring them until my hands hurt so bad !
those are some cheap coin op machines. The machines I want to cheat have a shield door that closes behind the coin slots as the coin tray is pushed in, so you can’t put a q-tip in there and get the coin tray to push. If something jams the closing doors the whole tray mechanism jams.
I tried making little saddles out of scotch tap for the coins to sit in within the slots and it seems to work fine till the tray is pushed all the way in, then it locks up and won’t return until the coins have dropped throiugh. It took some beating of the machine to get the coins to drop and return the tray.
Hey Thanks,
It never ceases to amaze me that people will help the dishonest and cheap. Lots of landlords spend years living in basements while they struggle to cover tax & utilities increases, damages, thieves, free-loaders and evil tenants (only takes one to make you question if there are any good people left) and can’t raise rents enough to cover it. Simply owning a building doesn’t mean you’re a “have” whose living off the suffering of others, in fact, landlords put up with more than their fair share of injustice. So thanks buddy for helping the selfish free-load. Shame on you who haven’t got the ethics to pay your own way in life and to those who add burdens on to those who do.
Whoa Sandy! Who you calling dishonest and cheap? My slumlord certainly does not live in a basement, but rather a .5 mil dollar home. Of which he pays for with my rent & others, and he doesn’t put one red cent into maintaining the property I (we) live in. He is sneaky and devious when dealing with the city & attempts by tennants to have him right his wrongs have been futile. (believe me, I wish I could move a.s.a.p) Don’t you even dare get on your holy high horse and call people selfish free-loaders! THE SHAME IS ON YOU MY DEAR, for being the self-proclaimed rightous one who thinks she has earned the right to cast the first stone! Before you condem (what you are labling as) someones ethics, maybe you should walk a mile in their shoes. And yes, “buddy” does deserve a SINCERE thanks, because for most it isn’t about cheating, its about surviving.
Fuck yeah!
It ISN’T about cheating, its about surviving. I dont like to have to chose between food or laundry, and a lot of people do. So I’d rather eat (cause I cant steal food) and jam q-tips in coin slots to have clean clothes.
If you dont like what you see look the other way and mind your own bizz!!!!& Get a Life and quit hate’n on people!!!
is that how you justify your sick actions. carma will have you trying to run a business one day, only to have someone like you cheating and robbing you every chance. or matbe someone skinning your check with misc. fees. someone has to pay for the water / gas / electric / taxes / mtc. etc..
** don’t you know everything you do comes back to ?
I live in a over-under duplex, where my neighbour upstairs has a full sized washer and dryer that comes with his flat. Me? I don’t even have hook ups for a built in washer and dryer, so im stuck using the coin operated machine next door. I have two small kids, my daughters 2 1/2 and my son is 3 months old. You can only imagine the amount of laundry I go through… so all of you people saying its not right and its immoral and blah blah blah, when it comes down to it, I choose to buy food and diapers and pay my power bill rather than dump MORE money into my landlords hands.
My machine has 2 slots, a Loonie slot and a Quarter slot??? I’ve seen them made out of Bra underwire before…
if you pay 1.50 for each unit, every load you would get sick of it, gota live some how.
All of you losers who are crying about paying to do your laundry need to wake up and realize that nothing comes free for your landlord either!! I’m sure they have worked their ass off to get where they are today and at great expense. If you all got off of your asses, you could be successful in life also. So, stop crying and pay your dues in life just like everyone else in this society has to do, no one gets a free ticket to ride! You all act like you’re the only ones that are having a hard time in life. Well, this is wake up call, everyone is having a hard time!! The economy tanked almost 2 years ago, so you’re not alone!! But not everyone in society steals and cheats to get ahead and make ends meet, most people are honest (or at least I’d like to think so).
