History[]

"I ran into the small building, and tossed my sheets in, and was about to put a quarter in the machine, when suddenly, It hit me...I forgot to get change."

—Ian Hecox^[src]

In 2002, a laundromat two blocks away from an apartment building in which the Hecox family lived offered coin-operated washing machines to customers. That year, after soiling his bedsheets during a wet dream, fifteen-year-old Ian Hecox ran to the laundromat to get his sheets washed but forgot to bring some change with him, forcing him to return home to grab some quarters. On the way, he was delayed during a run-in with the apartment building]s security guard. Upon returning to the laundromat, he found his sheets being stolen by a homeless man, leaving Hecox to return home empty-handed.^[2]

Behind the scenes[]
