[QUOTE="donna723, post: 175891, member: 1883"] OK, this is disgusting but I've just gotta share ... stop reading now if you're going to be eating any time soon! I didn't have a snake in my washer (Thank God, because I would have stroked out!) but I did have another type of "critter". I was doing laundry a few weeks ago and I noticed that there was this 3" long dark-colored "thing" dangling from where the water squirts out - looked like a skinny little twig. I got a paper towel and tugged on it gently and it wouldn't come out. The water sprays out in a fan-shaped stream from up under the rim, so I got a mirror and looked up there ... :sick: it was a small very dead MOUSE - for some reason it had apparently decided to try to crawl up in to the opening where the water comes out and got stuck and died there. Bleeeech! There's just a little hole there and a clear plastic strip over the hole to make the stream of water fan out - I could see the two tiny little back feet sticking out and the front end was up in the pipe. There was no way to get that piece off to release the mousey remains! I had no idea what to do so I did nothing and just let nature take it's course for several days. Then I turned it on to "HOT" and let it run full blast, and what shot out of there in to the tub resembled some tiny little prop from a Stephen King movie! Lots of tufts of dark gray fur, little bitty bones and unidentified body parts ... grossest thing I've ever seen! And then I had to fish it all out of there! [I]Bleeeeeech![/I] I scrubbed the washer tub over and over again, then let it agitate for hours with tubs full of hot water and Pinesol and then Clorox! Those people with the snake in their washer ... at least it was still ALIVE and it came out all in one piece! See! I [I]told[/I] you this was going to be gross and disgusting, didn't I! [/QUOTE]
