What is the strangest stuff you found in an washing Machine

re; snake

Florida has a new deadly one. The kubine viper or something like that. It's venom can kill ten adults. No anti venom yet. Saw it on National Geo. Only chance for survival is cut an X and suck out the poison. It's black and silver with 2.5 inch fangs. Don't leave the golf carts outdoors!

A little off topic but I remember hearing a story where an elderly lady put several thousand £ into a baking tin and hid it the oven while she was going away on holidays. She came back turned on the oven and got a rather strong slightly Smokey smell. The banknotes (bills) were badly damaged. Luckily the Central Bank (equivalent of the Federal Reserve) were able to replace them as the serial numbers were still legible.

Found at least $5 in change in my 1981 Maytag DG810 dryer when I got it back in 2016. Only dryers I’ve found absolutely no coins in are my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial dryer and literally the only thing there was is lint. Only dryers you won’t find money in are the older Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers built before 1966 and the Maytag HOH dryers.

A dead bat. At the end of a cycle. Think I might have screamed just a bit, lol.

That's "Easy"...money

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Every day when I got to work, either early in the morning or the afternoon if it was a school day, I'd check the parking lot to see what kind of laundry trade-ins had come in. When you spied an Easy washer, you hoped the delivery guys hadn't robbed it like some Egyptian tomb. If the agitator hadn't been loosened you were in luck. There was almost always money under the Spiralator. It was just something about the way they were designed. Most of the time the delivery guys couldn't get the agitator off by hand so I'd be in luck. I'd go out there with a hand torch and barbecue the top of that painted-white agitator until it was golden brown and then it would just slip right off. Easy's were always sold to the scrap guy. I never found a lot of money, usually a dollar more or less, but it meant something to a young kid. It certainly wasn't "dirty money" after all that washing, it was "Easy money."</span>

A falsie!! Squeezed between wash basket and outer tub of a Whirlpool direct drive

Dryer find

I would assist in the lint trap cleaning at a coin laundry where I worked. The big Dexter 30 pound dryers ... bullets. Live rounds. Tough customers ...

One time at my grandparent's house, someone founded a dead mouse in the tub of their Kenmore 90 Series. We were thinking that it must've gotten into the dirty clothes basket and into the clothes, and drowned when the washer was going.

In college the washers would eat laundry ... and regurgitate. It got to be a joke. It inevitably happened that a person would throw a load in, SIT ON THE WASHER until the cycle was done. There would always be at least one article of clothing missing and one article that that had NOT been loaded into the machine.

IIRC the general consensus was overfill so articles travelled back and forth between inner and outer tubs...
