I used to check everyone's pockets when starting a load of wash.

Not any more folks!!!! My husband left a pack of cigerettes in his jeans pocket, what a mess!!!!

I've also found melted crayons in the freshly dried cloths, empty tubes of lipstick, chapstick, and the dreaded discovery of gum wrappers.
To this day, there is still a wad of hardened gum from the 90's in my dryer!!
