My vacuum ate a sock and started screaming like a dying animal
Happened Wednesday afternoon. I was writing a scene where a wizard's spell backfires and thought 'perfect, I can use this noise for inspiration.' Then I had to spend 20 minutes untangling a tube sock from the roller brush. Has anyone else gotten weird story ideas from broken appliances?

The screaming animal noise is pretty standard for a vacuum with a sock. I’ve had one eat a charging cable and it sounded like a possessed weed whacker. Took me five minutes, max, to dig it out with a screwdriver. You spent 20 minutes untangling? That’s a lot of time for a tube sock. Maybe it was wrapped around tight or you were being extra careful. But hey, if it gave you a wizard spell idea, then it worked out. Still, a busted appliance isn’t exactly high drama inspiration.

Oh man, I feel your pain, my blender once ate a dish towel and let out sounds like a demonic goat!
