What did I put in with my washing to make the machine sound like it’s about to explode?
This happened to me once. The dryer was going click-rattle-thump, click-rattle-thump, as if it was particularly disappointed. The click sounded like a metal button on jeans, which made since, since I was doing a load entirely of pants. The rattle, sounded like a housemate had left empty bottles on top of the dryer, which were bumping together. The thump sounded sort of like a shoe or a boot, which I couldn’t explain because, as previously mentioned, this was a pants-only load. I stopped the dryer to investigate. It meowed.
The cat emerged, warm, wet, and wobbly. (No lasting harm was done to the cat—which is fortunate. Do not put cats in the dryer.) When I was loading the dryer, I had stpped out of the room to hang something and the cat had jumped in because it was an agent of Murphy’s Law.
The moral of the story? Never own a pet small enough to fit in the dryer. Caboo has never tried something like that.
