1. It was a washing machine, dumbass*

Ever been to a laundromat?

Doors to dryers open easily.

Washing machine doors don't open when it's on because water spills all over the floor.

*Yes, I am claiming the taterguy Exception in this instance.

2. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful correction! LOL! I shall edit the OP.

3. "Kids go in the washer first, THEN the dryer"

I put that sign up in the laundry room so I wouldn't forget.

4. Mom should have hired a babysitter...

...for the Dad & went to the laundramat alone.

5. I think men are hard wired to do stupid stuff.

It takes a guy to come up with "I'll put little Tommy in the washing machine! That'll be fun!".

8. My brothers put my little sister in...

the dryer and turn it on. The left the door open and pushed in the little button, she went around once before she started screaming. They also hung her from a doorknob using her belt (around her waist not her neck) that way she was easier to watch.
