A wet load of washing is annoying. Allegedly taking it out on the window is another matter altogether.
Police in Rexburg, Idaho, have released CCTV of a man they say collected dripping-wet clothes from a machine at a local launderette, then allegedly picked up a chair and hurled it at the glass until it smashed – before driving off.

Most of us have muttered at a machine that has somehow both washed and watered the laundry. Very few of us have, allegedly, used the waiting-area furniture as a follow-up cycle. Police would still like a word.
