My psycho roommate from 2 years back

Once I came home drunk at like 4 am with beer all over my reeboks

I threw them in the dryer and they made that typical loud ass banging sound shoes make when you put em in the dryer

I'm in the laundary room chilling, texting on my phone and drinking chocolate milk

When my psycho rotc roommate comes in with his rifle and is all like "I THINK WE HAVE INTRUDERS !"

You're SUPPOSE to clean it every load. It's in your dryer directions.

You're also suppose to regularly clean the vents leading out of your dryer too.

as long as you regularly clean the lint trap, the chances of it causing a fire are much less

i usually don't leave, but i have been known to do it from time to time

Nope, with my inherent luck the first time I do it, I'll burn down not only my apartment but my whole complex as well. Every time I leave I basically think if I leave with it on I'll most likely have my clothes dry but just might end up roasting my neighbors' kids, or I can just wait an hour for it to be done when I get back and make sure it doesn't happen.

It doesn't help that I've put one in already a while back that made a loud pop and smoke started billowing out. The apt stunk for a solid week.

The dryer has never started a fire when I'm home, so I'll assume that the 1% of the time that I'm not home and it's running will result in the same outcome.

when i bought my house the house inspector said this was the #1 cause of fires in homes. he even said that his own dryer caught fire but luckily he was home when it happened.

most of the time when the lint catches fire it burns out before the flames leave the dryer.

I've had to put out a few dryer fires with our local fire dept, so I don't leave mine on. if you're home and a dryer catches on fire, most of the time you can put it out before it causes serious damage. If you're gone, the house might be burnt up before anyone knows there is a fire.
