Finders Keepers | PadPatter 11.1

Nope... I like you rarely check pockets... I made that mistake myself as I have a habit with a tissue in my pocket.. LOL well the dryer didn't fair too well as it looked like it snowed and the lint collector did the best it could.. LOL

Great idea with that lamp! Could you imagine! Ha Ha!

 

Oh my gosh! I love that lamp idea... how cool!!!

I haven't really found anything very exciting that I can remember. I know my son's earbuds have been washed too, but I think they survived the first time anyway. We definitely have the rule, if you find money in the laundry it's yours... which I never put money in my pocket, but my hubby does all the time... so I come out ahead on that one a lot. Ha ha!

The worst thing I leave in my pockets is kleenex in the front pocket of my hoodies. I HATE that because it's nearly impossible to get that lint out and make that pocket feel the same after that.

 

Been a long time since I've left anything in pockets to go thru the laundry cycle. When I did it was mostly change or kleenex. I would get something from the snack machine at work and put the change in my pocket then forget about it when I took them off. Since I no longer work I don't have the need for change in the pockets.

And, honestly, since I live in sweats and pajama pants, I don't have pockets to put anything in! When I do wear jeans to go out, I always have my purse with me.

The lamp is a cute idea but would have been very boring for me as a kid. It would have been empty. Mom had it easy... it was only change or kleenex in any pockets for her or dad.

 

I don't check pockets either. My most found things are: tissues, candy wrappers, and receipts.

From repeat experience -- you can wash Nintendo DS games and they still work. I think ditto for flash drives.

 

I always check pockets, even if DH says he checked it before handing to me The rule in our house is, if I find money in pockets while doing laundry - it's mine. We call it my fee for doing laundry.

I have been known to hand back 20s. Under that tho, it's mine. It's how I collect change for the vending machine at work.

 

I don't check pockets either. I mostly find candy wrappers and receipts. I occasionally find money. I've only ever found one big bill and I knew whose it was and I gave it back to them since I knew it was hard-earned. I once did find earbuds...mine...and they were ruined.

 

I get paid to do laundry for hubby.... always find change and singles. LOL!!!!

 

No. I haven't found anything cool. Just the odd tissue which makes a huge mess in the washing! But I LOVE that jar!!!

 

What's funny is my mom still does the laundry (it's one of the few chores she can easily do and refuses to give it up), so she still finds the stuff I forget to take out of my pockets - everything from jewelry to rocks to bits of paper.

And yes, absolutely finders keepers when it comes to the money. I always thought of it as payment for services rendered.

 

I always said "finders keepers" when I found money. I don't do anybody's laundry anymore, but I usually check my pockets when I do my own.
