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.

It sounds odd, but the oils in peanut butter will cut right through chewing gum. You'll just have to clean up the peanut butter mess. It's a lot easier than gum mess though.

You can dissolve gum with peanut butter but then you would need to clean the peanut butter out of the dryer. A bit of a Cat in the Hat situation.
