Money on Washed Pants

Hi. SIMPLYD. No, I am not forgetful when it comes to losing money. I hardly ever put money into my pants pocket. I may put loose change into my pants pocket every blue moon though. You and your husband are very blessed to have an laundrywoman as honest as she is. Most people would have taken your money without you ever realizing that it was stolen. I know that my husband has told me that he used to find money into his dad's pants pocket when he would wash his clothing for him. I think that my husband helped himself to this money that he found too.

As we grow old, forgetfullness comes , it is natural, just now i went for shower, it is too hot, i kept my glasses some where, i searched but failed, just can't remember, so i tookout the other glasses.. let Kalyani come, she will get it for me. Your laundry woman is honest, you should have given her some tips.. Thank you for sharing Enjoy life to fullest. Professor ‘*^Bhuwan^*’. .

Glad to hear that you have an honest person who is returning this as well. Glad to also hear she checks the pockets before washing something as it is better then than after washing something, and having it get ruined. I know from time to time I have to double check before washing something and have found money, etc. in them as well. I guess when you lead such a busy life, things like this are bound to happen.

your lucky that you got it back. when i do laundry and find money, i keep it (its usually my hubbys or my kids anyways - i wouldnt keep anyone elses.)

First, I would like to congratulate you for having somebody very honest to do your laundry. Some laundry service providers do not return valuables found on pants (and I'm speaking from experience - since then I promised not to be forgetful of the things I put on my pockets). It's great when you find 'forgotten money' on laundry - especially when you are in great need and then suddenly there it is.

Yeah i have experienced that too but by the time i remember it's gone already but i don't ask the helper anymore. when i am here staying at my sister's home, i do the chores and the laundry, but when i am home at my parents', we have a helper there doing our laundry. my mom is like that too, she's getting more and more forgetful. there are a lot of times she has lost her money because of being so forgetful, she's getting old already. she just needs to be reminded from time to time. it's good to know that your laundrywoman gives your money back to you

Dear friend, It was during my school days, but after that I do make it sure there is nothing inside my pants or shirts pockets. Moreover mostly I keep money in my wallet. But my father once forgot the medical description in his pocket and it was destroyed entirely after wash. Later he had go to the doctor once again to get that description again.

Thankfully, I don't carry much money on my pockets. First off, I don't have a lot of money. Secondly, I try to use my debit card as much as possible so I don't have to carry any around. But a lot of things do get in the wash from pockets of pants. Specially my kid's clothes. They would have the odd coins on their pockets, and a lot of pieces of paper. Worse, they would even have candies in there.

Well i also forget checking my pants pockets before washing or bringing to laundry. There was even a time when i saw a folded 50 peso bill in the pants i am ironing. Good thing it was not torn by the washing machine.This moments of forgetfulness does not really mean a serious illness unless we forget all the time and that is senility already. Maybe these are bouts of not being able to remember because there are other things more important to think about or we are just too busy. You're lucky your laundry woman is very honest.

Lol that happens with us so many times... I do not move out of the house and so do not have much cash with me. But at times, when we move out, I sometimes carry some currency. But as this is now a non-habit with me, I almost forget taking out the currency back. And when we do wash the clothes, neither she nor me cares because it is presumed that I did not have cash and even I had, I was supposed to have taken it back... The only times she finds it is when she irons the pants... and there starts the rant - I should be careful or better - "What were you thinking about all the time... grow up"

I prioritize money so I check all the possible pockets of all my clothe that needed to washed.

This just happen to us last Monday. My mother-in-law was washing our clothes using the washing machine. She noticed that a 20 peso bill surfaced on the water, so she looked where it was coming from and found the remaining on my husband's jeans...
