Locked Out

I don't know about you but when I am doing the laundry I add the clothes and then I always start stripping in front of the machine and then I run around the house for one more kitchen towel to add. But today was my first load on my new machine and after adding my clothes the lid locked shut for safety and there was no way I could open it. Even when I unplugged it! So I learned something new about my new washer. Nobody will fall in and drown.
