Finders Keepers
« on: June, 15, 2009, 12:56:32 PM »
When you do laundry, if money happens to appear in the washer or dryer, do you keep it?

My son has a habit of not checking his pockets.  I can always tell when he is the dine in person at work because the next day I find a bunch of ones (his tips) in my laundry. 
So what do you say.....finders keepers?

Sometimes I keep the money lol. But my boys do their own laundry now so the money I find is my hubbys. I give it to him but tease him first about finders keepers lol.

If its my husband's, I keep it; but if its my kids', I give it back to them lol.
Seriously, I wait for them to ask me. If they don't, I keep it. That's the price they get for being careless.:)

It is the usual thing happens in my home. My dad, husband everybody left their dress for laundry without checking their pockets. Not only money, one day i found pen drive in my husbands pocket. I advised many times but they are repeating the same, what to do?

I usually check all my family members pocket. Because no one don't do that work.

We are having servant to wash our clothes. So i am very careful in doing this.

If its just under a dollar, I say finders keepers. I love getting coins and money over the laundy (of course unintentional) . It just goes to show how people are forgetful at times.

I usually check the pockets of my family member before washing the clothes beacuse my brothers doesn't have  a habit of checking their pockets. But when i find some I return it.

I have to definitely check my son(2years) pocket. Because he has the habit of keeping his favorite items like pencil, rubber, sharpener, chocolates etc in his pocket. Every time when i wash i will found something in his pocket.

I think most of the family women's are facing the same problem. So we have to check their pockets always before washing. It is better............

Wow, lucky you Antk-- $10 in the washing machine.  I never keep the money I find.  If it is change, I toss it in the vacation fund.  If it is dollar bills, I leave it on the basement steps to see if someone claims it.  There are only 3 of us in the family so it's not hard to figure out whose it is.

Did I tell you the story of my daughter leaving her cell phone in her pocket and it getting washed.
