Woman panics as money spins inside machine
The said lady shared her frustration in a video that showed both her and the money spinning inside the washing machine.
She revealed that her washing machine is designed to run until the end of its set timer, which had about 12 minutes left at the time she made the video.
According to her, she was lucky the machine was on cold mode, as hot water would likely have destroyed the money.
The lady, identified as @shalkels on TikTok, voiced her frustration in the video, lamenting that she might lose the £100 (₦199,624) after forgetting it in her clothes before washing.
As the TikTok video played, she said:
"See my life outside, just imagine. It's in cold, if the washing machine was on hot, my hundred pounds is gone and I can't stop this washing machine so I have to wait for 12 minutes. I'm laughing at 100 pounds, see my life."

The post carried a caption that explained the incident further. She wrote:
"Today could have been the worst day of my life. I almost washed a £100 note with my clothes! If it were the old paper money, I would’ve cried my house out. Thankfully, British pounds are now made of durable polymer, so even a trip through the washing machine doesn’t ruin them. Just like cold washing saves your clothes, polymer notes save your money. Sometimes, small advantages really do matter."
In the end, the washing machine stopped after the timer expired, and the lady retrieved her money safely, visibly relieved.
The £100 note is worth about ₦199,624 in Nigerian currency, making the woman’s near loss even more significant.
The video has since caught the attention of many online, with several people storming the comment section to share their thoughts.
