haha that's funny. I did the same thing in Botswana. The only difference is that I had been living in Africa for more than a year and I knew full well there were no dryers. It was a cotton t-shirt that was snug and I was concerned that it would shrink in the dryer as well. I don't know what I was thinking. The lady just looked at me and demonstrated how to clean it (by hand) lol. It was a momentary lapse in judgement, for sure.
