"Why would you ruin perfectly good peanuts by adding candy corn? That's like saying hey, I have these awesome nachos, guess I better add some dryer lint." - Nonny
I didnt click the video, Im on break from class but at laundromats, the machines dont run without putting the money in and pushing start right? Did they do all that? Or for some reason this laundromat doesnt make you do that?
I think the dad was trying to be funny and didn't think it would turn on -- it wasn't like "I'll punish my baby and put him in the machine." It's still incredibly stupid, of course.
You can tell how completely fucking terrified these people are at their near-tragic mistake. They simply couldn't get the door open, I guess because the cycle was running. They are lucky that kid is ok.
