I always empty my pockets before I put anything in the dirty laundry, so I never get any surprises, good or bad.
man, sucks for you. i kinda like the christmas effect :p
I ALWAYS empty my pockets.
Sometimes my thumb drive would elude me while I cleaned out my pockets, so I've washed it at least once. They survive if you let them dry sufficiently, so it's no big deal.
No, I tend to lose €5 notes though. it's rather irritating.
I don't wash much in my clothes anymore. It's always been my wallet anyways.
lol luckily my flash drive survived
one time i found a picture. i dont even carry pictures!!!!
I left a scrunched up green post-it note in the pocket of my shorts, and they got washed, and it's left a huge green stain!
My Mum does the washing, and I never have any money to leave in my pockets. I bet my Mum pockets anything she finds, though, I would.
My brother once washed a GBA game. (believe it was Megaman) The sticker fell off, and his data was deleted, but it still worked!
I only wash paper bills, because they're easy to forget they're in there.
I usually take everything out of my pockets before shoving them in the washer.
My sister did notice yesterday that I have a very weird ability to always have a five dollar bill and a one dollar bill SOMEWHERE for no reason. Basically, I had 6 bucks, then I spent it. The next day I put on a new pair of pants and found another 6 bucks in my pocket. Then in my wallet, I found 6 bucks folded up.
I've also found about 3 dollars worth of change scattered throughout my house in places I don't know how the change got there.
I'm never lucky like that with laundry. But two years ago when I put on my coat I found a twenty.
I dont leave any suprises.. other people on the other hand..
But then I just move to a different one. :)
My phone went through the wash once, and when I tried to turn it on, I got nothing but a black screen and some gurgling noises. Nothing beats when I left my finest Parker pen in my jeans though, everything came out looking like an octopus had slipped inside unnoticed and didn't take too kindly to 60C power spinning.
I still use the pen and still wear the jeans
we cleaned out the dryer vent last week and found my library card from 5 years ago
My friend washed his PSP in the laundry...broke into a million pieces. :D
ME, i wash coins. and sometimes my work schedule. Oh, and chapstick. I have this annoying habit of washing chapstick. :D
I've found a few £5 notes, but not often. My mum often moans about people leaving junk in their pockets so I usually check. :jess:
I always check my pockets so I never accidently wash anything :D
I don't wash much, just pieces of paper with notes and stuff on them. Washed an important piece of assessment once, don't know how it came to be in my pocket though
That occasional five cents rolls out but I usually empty my pockets so no wet chirstmas for me. :down:

:O why did it ruin all that? Washing mine just made my money get really stiff cleans the credit/library/drivers license cards, puts some waterspots on the plastic and warps the pleather ;o
I launder money all the time.
I don't put paper bills in my pant pocket. Our school uniform had chest pockets so that's where the bills go. Now I use a wallet that I always take out before putting the pants in the laundry bin.
Sometimes I forget things like pieces of paper, candy wrapper or receipts at the back pocket, but never money.
Some kind of dye, I assume. The tenner went all blue and I just went to the bank to change it. The woman behind the counter had a right laugh when I explained to her why my card wasn't working.
oh yeah, they have those security things in twenty dollar bills sometimes that turn them red in case someone robs a bank or something. I don't know how they're supposed to know they got robbed, but whatever
They are only set off when the container they are in is forced open.
I always empty my pockets before a wash.
But one time, I put my hand in my pocket, and found a toonie that had not been there the prior day and I had not taken out money or went shopping.
Money does appear outta nowhere! :)
I empty my pockets, always. But for some reason my mom likes to think that the five dollor bills she finds belong to me >D
I've occasionally laundered clothes with a tissue or receipt in a pocket, which makes a heckuva mess. You usually spend the next few hours picking flecks of paper off everything that was in the machine.
Thankfully, my country's paper money is plastic-coated. It's waterproof, but shrinks if it gets ironed. Never happened to me, though. Being a student trains you let no amount of money go un-noticed, regardless of how small.
