Drive Bys / Killer Washing Machine

ickaimpSo yesterday, I was doing laundry and talking with friends when I heard the washer make the sound that it does when it's unbalanced. Got up, went to the kitchen and opened the shaking washer's lid.
Little voice in the back of my head went 'Oh, shyte'. Disengage brain, engage instincts, dive behind the refrigerator and put my hands over my head.
-and peeked out just in time to see the centre column of the washer come flying out of the top of the machine and into the the middle of the kitchen floor.
... The washer had just tried to kill me...
The lint trap on top of the agitator, or centre column, is attached to the long screw that holds it in the machine. The lint trap had gotten stuck, unscrewing the centre column and unbalancing the machine. When the rotation slowed down due to my opening the lid, the centre bit went flying out. A fairly easy fix, but I don't think I'm gonna be using the lint trap anymore.
Anyway. Drive-bys. The idea came from reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

But we're a DC fan. This means murder mysteries. So in that spirit, we decided to do 'Drive-Bys', leaving dead bodies behind. ^__^
