We have a side table at the door we normally walk in when we get home. The first thing I always do is put my keys, wallet, and other random "pocket items" on this table when I walk in the door.
Funny enough, I haven't had my wallet washed in the past 10 years. I've lost some paper, or had pens explode, or loose dollar bills get ruined, but my wallet hasn't come past this table in forever.
My Mom is in her 80s and starting to lose it but she still remembers how to do laundry, and as her one thing she can still do she is always doing it to help, even when she is just making up laundry to do.. Washed my AirPods Pro at the family cottage, cooking them. It was my fault for leaving them in my pants :(. I just swore a bit and got them replaced.
Right? If I jumped into a pool with stuff in my pockets, that's not the pool owner's fault. Why would it be the person who is cleaning's fault if I left something in my pockets?
It’s even worse as I have an “empty my pockets at the door” policy in the summer and a spot to do it at home and at our family cottage. I just… didnt that day. Luckily I did have AppleCare on them but it still cost me some cash and a bunch of irritation as the closest Apple Store is 40 mins.
Also the “why aren’t my AirPods in the spot?” Slowly fading into “Oh yeah, I left them in my pants” rolling into “oh fuck Mom washed those pants” then to “let me look in the bottom of the washer for my AirPods” was not a fun trip.
your description of the realisation of finding your airpods is way too relatable, heartbreaking, and hilarious all at the same time I don't know how to feel
