My husband doesn't check his pockets before laundry

I would, my husband never remembers to check his either, and he's a plumber so I find some crazy things tumbling in the dryer! On a positive note, I started putting all of the change and dollar bills I would find in a secret spot and then cashed them in when we went on vacation! My husband was really surprised that through the year he had left almost $200 in his pockets!

It's a good thing my husband empties his pockets because I hardly ever think to check. I'm more likely to wash things that I've left in pockets.

 I would..probably the only way it'll get done. I check SO's pockets.

I do it only takes me a second longer. No biggie.

Nope- I do so much as it is-I drew the line at reaching into pockets and getting out dirty tissues! ICK. After about the 3rd time his wallet got washed he learned...

$200!!  Nice!  That is one thing my husband does remove from his pockets- money. :(

I agree, I don't really want to reach into a yucky pocket.

I'm afraid that this is the way it is headed for me, too.

I can always tell when my husband has a cold, there are tissues left in his pockets that go through the laundry and end up all over the clothes.

I would. It only takes a few seconds and really isn't that big of a deal. I'll tell you what, though... if he left money in his pockets... mama's getting herself some starbucks the next day ;o)
