I think everyone has washed something that wasnt supposed to be washed. I'm not saying anynames But I washed someones cellphone once, Luckily they thought it just broke. If they found out oh they'd be so mad? So whats the worse thing that went through your washer?

A tissue, I spent hours trying to get little pieces of tissue off all the clothes. I also watched a pink top with white shorts and the top wasn't colour fast and I didn't realise and my shorts went baby pink, glad I go them to go white again. I hate baby pink.

I think I would have to say lipstick! Because it got all over the clothes, because not only did it go through the washer it also went through the dryer too! Yeah, I remember the incident about the cellphone that you washed!

I would have to say the worst was actually a white towel I had presoaked in bleach cause I used it to color my hair. Only I tossed it in accidentally with the colors. So you can imagine the bleach running out in the colors load.

The worst thing I have put through the washer was my husband's wallet. He had forgotten to take it out of his pants pocket when he put his pants in the hamper. His wallet as well as any cards and money were soaked, but thankfully not ruined. I have actually done this twice, so now my husband takes more care about putting his wallet away and not leaving it in his pants pocket.

I know dear. men are quite bad about leaving things in their pockets. And in my case I have a baby also I dont have time to go through pockets! :)

I washed a raincoat of mine and discovered Ihad washed two one thousand dollar bills that belonged to my dad. I was supposed totake them to a construction foreman who was building a rental house for my dad and I had had to postpone it until the next day. I had completely forgotten the money. So I had to go to the bank with the wadded up money and get two new one thousand dollar bills .then this time I made sure i got the money to the construction foreman.

Oh my gosh, a cellphone??? That's a sigh of relief that they thought it was broke! Anyway, I guess it would have to be a coin. I know, at one point in time, we come accross this, but it was the worst thing I have put through in the shower because the coin got stuck in that spinning thing underneath, and we had to call in a professional to take it out! Whew!

I have washed my boyfriends cell phone, and his wallet always seems to end up in the washer too....lol I know some people don't agree with weed smoking, but my boyfriend smokes the stuff and I don't check pockets. So one day his bag ended up getting washed. He was really ticked off. I told him he needs to clean out his pockets from now on. That is not my responsibility....lol

The worst thing that went through my washing machine....that would be my prescription eyeglasses. Yeah...that was not only a bad day...it was a blind day as well with no spare glasses to wear. Don't ask me how I did it...seriously how stupid. When i pulled them out of the washer they were a mangled mess because they have wire frames. I took them to the eyeglass shop in Walmart and unbelieveably they were able to fix them like new. Actually they are the same ones that I am wearing in my profile picture..Ha...I sure learned my lesson with that disaster!
