Dark load of washing ... Need I say more?

Not my job to check pockets. You check your own pockets in this house!

Also, any spare change that ends up in the machine is mine if I put the wash on.

What do poor people throw away but posh people put in their pockets?
Snot.

(my grandma's humour... she wasn't known for being a riot tbh)

I do this to myself frequently, even though I know better. Let it dry and then vacuum the clothes to get the bits off and out of the pockets

Try finding a nappy has managed to find it's way in the wash

I feel you op, which is why I use kitchen roll as that doesn't disintegrate in the washing machine.

The Aloe-infused tissues don’t break up in the washing machine. Game changer.

Tempo tissues don't dissolve in the washer and are lovely to use. Difficuit to find though

@SomethingsgottagiveeventuallyOh no not cloth hankies . I used to work for a woman when I was 18 whose husband only had cloth hankies , she used to get me to boil them in a big pan on the stove on wash day it was revolting, I’m 61 now and it still makes me feel sick lol 😂

As a person of many allergies I'd be in trouble without tissues, but... How does it happen? However many times I check the pockets, sleeves, crevices, there's ALWAYS one somewhere!

rolloverbeethoven · 08/10/2025 08:15

@almondflakeI sympathize, my ex husband insisted on cloth hankies. Note "ex"...
