Add This To Your List Of Worst Fears: Snake In The Laundry
July 29th, 2010
The UK Metro reports that a woman opened up her washing machine door to find a FIVE FOOT long corn snake amongst her laundry. She says:
‘I opened the glass door at the front and I saw something. I took it be part of a pair of jeans and then I wondered if it was a toy snake that children use,’ said Mrs Foley, from Exeter. ‘But then it poked its tongue out at me. It was horrible and quite big. It was just lying there on the washing. I don’t know if it had been through the complete cycle or not. I screamed and screamed – I was terrified.’
Yeah, no S you were terrified. Can you imagine thinking a snake was a part of a pair of jeans? OMG. Guys. GUYS. THIS WAS A LITERAL TROUSER SNAKE. I’m going to take a victory lap around the coffee shop, excuse me.
Phew! I’m back! That was both satisfying and embarrassing. Anyway, this story gets worse:
She ran out in the street to ask for help and a passer-by told her he thought it was a boa constrictor. Her ordeal got worse when she called police – and was accused of making a hoax call – while the RSPCA refused to send anyone out until the next day to collect the snake. Mrs Foley and her two sons, aged 18 and 21, were forced to sleep in the house convinced the snake would escape from the machine.
Do the people over at the RSPCA normally get prank calls from frightened sounded middle aged house wives? Is that a thing that older women do for kicks? Like the Jerky Boys? Remember the Jerky Boys? They would’ve so done something like that.
Anyway, that’s what I call a snake surprise! Similar to this:
