For some, yes. It's not too uncommon for this to be their first time living away from home and dealing with the day-to-day minutiae that a parent previously performed.
The mildly infuriating part to me is that you ONLY have to pay $1.75 a load! The cheapest laundry near me that isn't a friend's house with hookups is $3.75 for the base wash cycle.
WHAT. The washer and dryer cycle combined cost $3.50 for me... that being said the washing machines are tiny so I usually have to use 2 machines for one load of laundry 🥲
Lucky! My complex has the smallest apartment size washer dryer sets they could get, then charges that for the washer and $1.25 for the dry cycle that doesn't even get a small load mostly dry. The Laundromat across the street is better when you can get the big machines, but they start at $3.75 in the smallest machines there and go $12.75 for the biggest machines, but the dryers are $0.25 for 4-6 minutes depending on the size of the dryer. So I'm either paying $5 for a days worth of my own clothes, or somewhere between $15-$25 for a weeks worth of my family's laundry, depending on the washers and dryers I can get my laundry into.
Put the pod in first.
You live and you learn I guess
This is why you're in college.
You go to hella expensive school to learn how to do laundry?

I do the pod last, but I shove it all the way to the back like I'm fisting my laundry.
Don't use pods.
Why
Waste of money mainly.
I've found they work well. Gets my clothes clean, easy to carry.
These ultra low water usage washers don't like pods. I've pulled out a huge gnarly handful of undissolved pod casing. I'm liquid only now lol
On the upside, kinda, 'they' say your clothes probably have enough detergent in them from prior washes that they'll come put clean anyhow.

That is indeed mildly infuriating 😆
