Stupid Things to leave in pockets

In the washing machine...

Number 1.


Whipping Cotton:DOH:

I'll sort the tangle out in the morning, too tired now.

What have you lot ever accidentally laundered ?

 

i called a washing machine man out in the early 90s because i found n pulled a peice of wire out from one of the drum holes...he told me it was a bra wire and the washing machine was fine god a felt a prat!:o

 

Only you Ziggy eh A friend of mine washed his mobile one and then put it on the radiator to dry out, made a call later with no problem

 

Been there, done that, Jools!

Daftest thing I ever put in there was a little plastic backed rug - thought it was rubber backed!

 

A variation on the theme.
I once caused a delay at the Airport because I set off the metal detector.
After pockets were empties, belt removed etc. it turned out the cause was my very comfortable shoes - I forgot they had steel toecaps!
Guess who was in trouble with OH and family?

 

My mother was a good old fashioned housewife.
She always turned out the pockets before putting anything in the washing (sometimes machine).
Just as well - my brothers pockets were always full of FROGS !

 

daisees i love that lol x i worked for miliken mat company for 22 yrs n stil wonder what mats i can put in the washer ..so many diff backings on them xx

 

Not just me then:DOH:

Still can't find the rod eye that was with the whipping cotton:DOH:

 

That's probably blocking the filter now Ziggy!

 

my mobile,lighters(when i used to smoke),nails and other such rubbish 1 tends to shove in a pocket :D

 

Your friend was lucky Greencuisinequeen. I stupidly left my phone in my pocket and put it through the washing machine last year. The screen was cloudy and I did try drying it but to no avail.Luckily, the memory card was still okay so I was able to put it in a new phone. I shan't do that again in a hurry.

Ive laundered other people's cash and cameras, but I accept no responsibility, they should be doing their own laundry, Im no one's mother.

However my mobile phone is familiar with the bottom of toilets all over the south east.
Not being a handbag sort of girl, I keep my phone and wallet in the back pockets of my jeans. It doesnt seem to matter if they are super baggy or supper tight, the phone/ wallet ends up in the drink more than probability would suggest.I have a fair number of near misses too.

I dont even think Im exceptionally vigorous in the way I remove my er... well you know. I just think my phone likes being in water. It has long been encased in a waterproof casing so it always works, and frankly Weil's disease is more likely to get me than some phone poo related disorder.

 

I hope this wasn't at Open Day, Shiney!
