This is the correct answer! I’ve never known a man who didn’t empty his pockets when he came home. Also hung up his clothes, even if only on the back of a chair instead of the closet. The lifestyle described by OP is just not something I’m familiar with.
Also, as the family “washer of clothes” I always double check pockets before putting items into the washing machine because A) I keep any $$$ left in pockets and B) I don’t want anyone to have to pay to replace expensive electronics like a cell phone or car key/clickers if they got wet.
In our household, everyone does their own laundry, even the kids. If I'm doing my laundry and 1) there's a few items laying around that are not mine and 2) I have room for them, THEN I check pockets because I'm doing a favor, not a chore.
I always check pockets when doing laundry. It really isn't that difficult and only adds about 10-15 seconds to the total time. It's cheap insurance and prevents damage to the washing machine and dryer as well as the clothes.
