This Tech Made Me Genuinely Furious! (It's Rant Time!) 

Imagine the neighbors hearing this rant through the walls. lol Anyway, for something as simple as laundry, there's no need to make things any more complicated than they need to be. Also, as someone who works at Taco Bell, I love that that's what you happen to mention when saying what you could be spending $10 on, which is pretty accurate btw.

Oh damn I completely sympathise with this / something that should be so simple just made a complete pain in the ass! I feel you! Here in the UK it tends to be parking or EV charging apps that are like this - charging an extra 10p for a text message reminder or having to “register” and give away your name, address, licence plate, credit card details, just to park or charge your car for 20 mins!
