Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI found a dead mouse in my washing machine, after I offloaded the clothes into the dryer.
Pretty fresh, so I guess it drowned, getting the bath of his life.
So I wonder....how did it get in the drum? Top Lid was closed.

(26,886 posts)I'm thinking the mouse may have been in the basket when I took it down to the washer. Was not looking for rodents when I tossed the clothes in.

(10,072 posts)An unpleasant surprise, but much better than the poor thing expiring behind some wall (You know the game. What's that vague smell? It's over here. No, wait, it's over here.)
