Annoying

Ink pens....they are merciousless....I have ruined a whole load of laundry with a pen in it.....in fact my grandson recently forgot one in his pants and it was washed with my SIL's new uniforms....I got most of it out after going through a couple of bottles of hairspray.....but he still had to pay for what was wrecked and maybe next time he won't be so careless!

My husband has the same crazy habit as yours. He never checks his pockets before I throw the dirty clothes in the wash. I've washed his wallet a few times over the years. And just recently I almost washed the key to our car. It's actually an electronic key fob so something tells me it wouldn't have made it through the wash. Fortunately my husband remembered to take it out in the nick of time. Otherwise it might just have turned out to be a costly mistake. Happy mylotting!

An ink pen! My mom doesn't do her and my dad's laundry anymore. She's gotten sick, and he is so busy, I don't want to make him do it. I don't live with them, but I do come over, and on some days I'll do their laundry. My dad is SO bad about leaving things in his pant pockets. I've washed money I don't know how many times -paper money AND coins. But by far the most annoying was an ink pen that had the cap come off in the middle of the washing cycle. I don't know how, but not all of the clothes got inked. I was able to get the ink out of the things that did get messed up.

I think it is a husband thing, I really do! I have washed a packet of chewing gum which was stuck all over his pants but the worst thing I ever washed was a cell phone and guess what? It wasn’t my husband’s fault but mine because I had it in the pocket of my jeans! Come to think of it...It was HIS fault really because he is the one who suggested I keep the phone in my pocket because I don’t always here it when it’s in my bag!

Well, I do check all my clothes before putting them to the basket, and this I am doing for long now, as I remember the day my wife put my clothes to the washing machine without checking and I lost one very important peice of paper and so started giving more attention since then. Good Luck

I don't wash cloths because I am the one like your husband I also forgot thing in my pocket and my mom always beat me because she always see trash in my pants well I don't trow little thing I try to keep it. And the worst thing I forgot that my mom also forgot to take out from my pants is my money after my pants wash I try to check if my money is there and didn't break luckily its only wet. That time I always check my pants now before placing it to dirty cloths.

Hullo Carolbee! How are you ? It seems to be a long time since I saw you here. I cannot recall any such thing immediately but just dropped in to say 'hullo'.

i always check my pockets right after i take it off of me. usually it's all case, paper with some quickie notes, and candies. i used to send it to a laundry shop and i guess there was one time i lost couple of bucks and i'm pretty sure the last place i put it was in my pocket.

Hey carol~ I guess it would have to be the worst thing you could leave in a pocket and that would be a pen! Nothing more annoying than ink all over everything because we know what ink stains can do! I have also washed money, but that's ok! Money is dirty enough to begin with!

My first husband stuffed a napkin in his pocket & forgot to take it back out. It took me forever to get all that paper off our clothes & weeks to get it all out of the washing machine. Every time I thought I had the machine cleaned out properly, I'd wash more clothes & I'd find more tiny bits of paper. To this day I don't put tissues, napkins, nor paper towels in my pocket!!! My last husband did ALL the laundry. He never took my word that there were no surprises in my pockets. He said he'd rather check them, than deal with the mess after the fact!!!

I am usually quite careful when sending my dirty clothes into the basket, so I don't leave things in my pockets too often. Perhaps the most annoying thing I have ever washed was some papers. These were crushed into small pieces and scattered all over the pockets, it was very hard to get rid of them.

My late husband also had the bad habit of not checking hispockets. You don't want to know how many times his wallet went through the wash. The first time i washed his driver's license, i nearly cried. I soon learned to check his pockets myself. It saved a lot of annoying grief.

i am so happy that i dont have the same problem as yours because my husband is so careful with his clothes and things.

Your husband is the same with my husband just like one time after i did the laundry i just noticed that there was a gum on his scrub suit.But at least i am happy coz it did not get into our clothes then there are times that i found coin in the washing machine.I told him and then he said it wont happen again but still it happen over and over again.So what i did i always check his pants or srub suits before i will put it in the washer just to make sure.

I remember in my last year of school I left a floppy disc containing several important pieces of work in my shirt pocket, and my mother washed the shirt. Luckily I had printed copies of the work already or I would have had a major problem. I ALWAYS make sure to check my pockets now!

i think the worst thing ive ever washed was used tissue paper, they sorta melt while in the washing machine and go all over the other clothes, you take them out and they dry up like really sticky lint. you have to wash the clothes a good couple of times to take em out.
