What the heck has caused this?

[Pigtailsandall]

Went to take out a pair of pyjamas this evening and the hem of them has a big piece missing. I can't, for the life of me, figure out what's caused it. I would have noticed if I'd ripped them, and they are PJs so it's not like I wear them outside. The bottom looks a little worn and frayed but the cut is quite clean (albeit jagged). Haven't worn these for a few months and I wonder if it's possible a squirrel (?)tore off a piece while they dried outside. I would understand a rip but not a whole piece missing. Do squirrels do that?

They've been caught in the BBC washing machine door

There would be evidence if it was an animal

A child with scissors?

Sorry, BBC washing machine?

I do have a child but this isn't the sort of thing they would do - not overly interested in Scissors and at 6 not that brainless anymore

Not sure why you are confused, the poster clearly just meant washing machine door and some sort of autocorrect or mistyping is going on. I would also suggest the most plausible reason is they got caught in the washing machine door.

The BBC is just letting us down in so many ways these days.

I literally didn't know. I thought it was a typo but it referred to a specific type of machine or door or something

Could have been the washing machine but it's s bit odd I didn't see the scrap of fabric come out (I do all our laundry).
