that just once I could remember to check pockets for tissues before putting laundry in the washer.
But no. Every time. Tissues in the laundry.
Fortunately, Kleenex tissues don't disintegrate into teensy little pieces when they get wet, so at least when I find the tissues (after they have been through the washer and dryer), they are in large pieces and easy to remove.
But still.

I live alone so I don't have to worry about other people, but when I walk in the door my keys, etc. go on a table in the entry way. I remove anything from my pockets and put them on a tray in the entry as well. I can remember to empty my pockets as soon as I come in the door, but not to check my pockets prior to putting clothes in the hamper or before putting them in the washer. Go figure.

You mean the washing machine doesn't come pre-loaded with kleenix. I just figured it dispensed some with every load.

I am terrible about checking pockets. You'd think with two boys and all the crap they store in their pockets I'd learn.

DD one time left pink lipstick in her white denim shorts. They got washed with my sons football pants and underwear. Nothing happened in the washer but in the dryer the lipstick melted all over the underwear and football pants . Fortunately a trip back through the washer took care of the problem. My DS cell phone went through the washer twice. It was a flip phone and actually still worked although the screen got a little funky. Of course, that was before he had a GF. Once he had a GF the phone did not leave his hands.

I usually leave money in my pockets. Once I found over $10 - I felt like I won the lottery!

I can't remember to shut my oven off. At least you guys just have a mess. I'm going to go up in flames one of these days.

This has been one of the biggest bones of contention between TD and I. I can't seem to catch all the pens he leaves in the pocket of his shirts when I toss them into the laundry, and he adores these gel pens, which get all over everything! Ironically enough, not long after I got out of rehab, HE washed a pen and ruined every single one of my tops that I had out here at the time!
He gets pissy when I don't fully turn off the stove, the oven or the faucet - so I have taken to asking him if he meant to leave the stove, oven or faucet on when he does it. I *think* he is finally getting the message....especially after a couple weeks ago, he was making hummingbird food and left the pot on the stove all night. The smoke detectors went off, waking us at about 2 am.

I usually leave money in my pockets. Once I found over $10 - I felt like I won the lottery! DH told me one time that our dog ate a $20 bill. Sounded kind of fishy to me since the dog chewed things but usually left evidence. When I did laundry that week I found a $20. He said it was his, but I reminded him that the dog ate his, so it was MINE! We share money anyway, just had to give him a hard time.

It's comforting to know I am not alone.
