Very old dryer said "Hey!" as I was walking past

[Mike_Yates]

An old drying machine said in a very low-pitched, garbled voice, "Hey!" as I was walking past it at a Goodwill consignment store. Apparently it was trying to get my attention, like it wanted me to buy it or something.

The voice was clearly audible and discernible, but it did not sound human.

This dryer was very old and appeared to be from the 1970's and had a yellow frame with all analog switches and dials like the one pictured below.

No one was around me when it happened, so that vocalization did not come from a person. Also, there were only about 4 other people in the store at the time.

I'm pretty sure that it's haunted. Call Ghost Hunters.

 

[CandiCame]

No, well... yes, but posessed dryers have a name. It's a Rotom!

Edit: Because you're all old and no one will get it, this image is /extra/ funny because the Rotom knows the move "uproar" which means it emits noises to distract it's opponent in battle. See, because it could have used that to get Mike's attention. Get it? I felt like I had to explain that and I'm not really sure why.

 

[Wings]

My Keurig told me to say hi to you.

 

[Tathagata]

You were supposed to break into a rousing rendition of " Hey Good Lookin' "

 

[Liar]

The new dryers say "你好!".

 

[Mike_Yates]

What if it was the voice in the wires?

Probably the ghost of Dryer Lint.

I saw it also in my local Goodwill store, which I frequent often, but the SOB did not say a fucking word to me, A hole

 

[Colonel Hogan]

That color isn't human either.

 

[parodyluvr75]

Don't buy it, it will conspire with your dishwasher.

 

[Mike_Yates]

Don't buy it, it will conspire with your dishwasher.

And my microwave?

Haha, I haven't played any of the pokemon games since the original red and blue versions for the old brick gameboy.

I am only familiar with the original 151 pokemon.

 

[parodyluvr75]

And my microwave?

I bet, I wouldn't want to be that outnumbered.

Rotom also evolves into an oven, a refrigerator, and a room fan.

 

[lovetoread]

But did you answer it?

 

[Liar]

That color isn't human either.

It is if you dip them in custard.

 

[Mike_Yates]

This is everything that rotom evolves into.

[patient1]

So are Rotom Deceptacons ?

CHANGING OPINION

Lyrics by Paul Simon

Gradually
we became aware
of a hum in the room
an electrical hum in the room
It went mmmmmm

We followed it from
corner to corner
We pressed out ears
against the walls
We crossed diagonals
and put our hands on the floor
It went mmmmmm

Sometimes it was
a murmur
Sometimes it was
a pulse
Sometimes it seemed
to disappear
But then with a quarter-turn
of the head
it would roll around the sofa
A nimbus humming cloud
mmmmmm

Maybe it's the hum
of a calm refrigerator
cooling on a big night
Maybe it's the hum
of our parents' voices
long ago in a soft light
mmmmmm

Maybe it's the hum
of changing opinion
or a foreign language
in prayer
Maybe it's the mantra
of the walls and wiring
Deep breathing
in soft air
mmmmmm
