Today, my roommate did his laundry. Unfortunately, he didn't check his pockets before he washed them. There's now sticky, melted gum all over the washer and I'm left to clean it up. FML
StickySituations tells us more.
OP here, and i realized i made a huge mistake in my FML. This actually took place in the dryer not the washer. I'm not sure why i made that silly mistake. However for anyone who this may ever happen to i managed to get it off rather easily by soaking a fresh dryer sheet in cold water and scrubbing away at the gum.... and yes, it really was gum.

You should just leave it for him to deal with. FYL.

Wait for his ass to come back and force him to clean up the mess.

Walls off? Did you run up the wall and jump off to look cool? Because I would do that too.

Run a couple empty loads with hot water? Might help... Then get a new roommate.

Cold water will actually help more. Hot water will only soften it and spread it. Cold water will hopefully harden it so you can break or Peel it off easier.

They say peanut butter is good for getting gum out of hair...Perhaps washer/dryers as well?

Try oil. It removes it from hair.

Are you 100% sure the sticky substance was, in fact, chewing gum?
