No good deed goes unpunished

So, I noticed friend's sleeveless winter jacket he wore down here was dirty. I offered to wash it if he left it with me. So, I dutifully threw it in the washer with my clothes and the cotton batting came out of one of the pockets and stuck to my sweatpants... Little pieces of cotton fluff everywhere. It took me 20 minutes to get it off. Not sure if it is stuck to anything else, but probably.

@snowy22315 I had a pillow explode in the washer one time. It was a mess. But at least that's all I had in there at the time

Oh wow, it must have been in rough shape if it started coming apart like that in the washer. I would check the machine to make sure that there isn't anything stuck elsewhere that will come out in the next wash, maybe run a small rinse cycle.

Yeah, we will see. I didn't read the tag, maybe it wasn't supposed to be machine washed.

What a pain when that happens. Fluffy pants did give me a chuckle though

@snowy22315 there's been times when I've accidently left a tissue in my pants pocket and it just fluffs all over everything in the washer & dryer.

What's super fun is when lint gets all over my swim duds and I am supposed to go to the pool the next morning.

The same thing happens when you leave a tissue in your pocket. Bummer.

I thought you were going to say you had to buy him a new garment. I keep forgetting and putting other stuff in with the towels occasionally. They get covered with fluff too.
