Another hilarious misadventure with no consequences.

My first was putting my pull up on inside out and wondering why I was swimming all night. Wet bed pad,dry brief in the morning. Ok.

Today's fun was that to save money I didn't turn on the light in laundry nook when I threw my towels in machine to wash last night. My washer is a diva builder grade so she hops around like a disco dancer on drugs when imbalanced by a square short bed pad I had thrown in my tiny trash bag, another money saving measure. I set the bags down to take out twice as often.
This morning I went to put in my wet laundry in the dryer and found I had put my tiny trash bag complete with swept up dog food, bread crumbs and who knows what, and the offending bed pad (doomed for the garbage finally as bed pads are cheaper to replace than washer machines.) in the washer with towels I had thrown trash bag bed pad...but my normally dancing thumping jumping washer had calmly washed my towels my trash and the too small be pad with out fanfare.(normally I sit next to her like a midwife ready to leap up and redistribute the wet pad so she doesn't jitterbug across the floor and out the window.)

Do you think I will try for prat fall number three and pull the stuck bath tub plug out of the five inches of standing water today? Inquiring minds want to know or will I forgo slip and slide to further injure my spine.
 
MayNay. Please skip any slips, falls, or other potential injury causing activities.

At about 55 I started having similar 'fun' happenings. For me laughing it off seems to work best. I keep telling my wife we have to laugh and make it fun.

By the way, Snickers bar goes a long way in producing chocolate euphoria.

Stay safe
 
@Maymay941 OH Maymay - I hate to laugh and giggle, but you just can't make this stuff up. I recently had two unbalanced wash loads that made that familiar very loud KA THUNK! KA THUNK! during the spin cycle and jumping around at the same time. I am recovering from a broken hip and my husband is faster with his below knee prosthetic than I am using my waker, hurrying to stop the washer and try to balance everything again. He pronounced that HE would do the laundry. But, I knew after hip surgery and 3 weeks in rehab, I was just out of practice - but, maybe I should keep a few Snickers bars on hand just in case. Stay safe and thanks for the laugh.Pam
 
Hi @Maymay, after that adventure with the washer who dances around like a drunk diva if there is a load imbalance and the disaster when she tried to eat that little trash bag, if I were you, I'd quit while I'm ahead and leave that stuck plug alone for now!
I do agree that bed pads are easier to replace than washing machines so it's better to be safe than sorry!!!
Your story about your jitterbugging washer was really fun to read and I wonder if it would be the basis for a funny children's book???
 
Prat fall #3
I kissed the bumper of another car pulling out of a parking space and waited an hour for the cop as the non damaged other insisted.
Time to pull that plug.
 
@Maymay941 Well Maymay, you succeeded. I read your story to my husband who laughed also. Maybe you are in the wrong line of work. Perhaps even a submission to Readers Digest?
 
@billliveshere That's a good idea! If you could include a back story of sorts with a fair amount of silliness, I bet kids would love it!
 
HI @Pammy53, maybe a bestseller in the children's book section is in the offing here!!!! I think kids would love a story like that!!!
 
Since we got the front-end loader washing machine, "off balance" loads are a thing of the past. However: went to take the load out of the dryer so I would have room for the washer's current load. Had a fitted sheet in there. It was suspiciously heavy. Those pockets had collected: 2 of those rubber-spiky balls and 4 green tennis balls. Nicely distributed to all four corners. There was 1 more tennis ball in the fitted mattress pad pocket. Sigh.
Normally, my specialty is dropping things. Guess my "dropper" took a vacation and "tennis ball" took his place. Can't get good help, these day. Maybe I should pay in silver dollars instead of dryer lint. You think?
No one - I mean no one - is going to top MayMay!

Did you all read about the 8-year-old who wrote a book, illustrated it with colored pencils, and slipped it the local public library book shelf? There's now a wait-list for that book 55 people long. Go for it, MayMay!
 
Alas south I'd just like to know who is playing tennis in the winter in Alaska? Hmmmmm???
And why tennis in bed and are they obsessed with cleanliness to the point of washing their balls?
 
And here I thought my specialty was dropping things!!! Nice not to be alone in that regard!!! And getting tennis balls mixed in with a fitted sheet is a new one for me!!!
And @Maymay941, you are hilarious!! You're truly one of a kind and I'm glad we have you around!!
I also encourage you to "go for it" and make your washer famous in the (children's) literary world!!
I hadn't heard about the 8-year-old who wrote and illustrated a book and slipped it into the library shelves. It's great there's a 55-prson long waiting list!! If I knew where that library was I would try to get the book myself since I'm really curious!
 
MayMay: Booooooo!
Bad puns, bad!
My driveway is good for tennis, right now. You hit the ball and watch the neighbor's dog slide all over the ice trying to retrive it!
Then you bring the balls inside, wash off the slobber, and warm them up in the dryer. They appreciate it.
So there!
 
@AlasSouth Must be hilarious watching the dogs. What is it about tennis balls that they love? Especially when they are new. It is very kind of you to do all that for them. Pam
