    I'm trying to catch up on a huge pile of laundry because I've been sick/busy this week.  I'm also getting over a crappy cold.  I just did a huge load of laundry and when I opened up the washer to transfer it to the dryer.  The machine and clothes were covered in white fuzzy junk.  Yep, I washed a Kleenex in my pocket!  UGH.  What a total mess.  I'm going to be picking fuzz off my clothes all week.

    So I don't feel so bad, has anyone else ever done this?

    I have!! It is a mess.  Luckily the dryer took care of most of it and a lint roller took care of the rest.

    Ugh.  Yes.  My FI leaves stuff in his pockets all the time, and I never remember to check when I throw some of his stuff in w/ mine. It makes me regret trying to be nice by doing his laundry :)

    At least it wasn't a lipstick or crayon.  Tissue fuzz is much easier to remove.

    I once washed a ballpoint pen in a load of laundry that contained every single set of scrubs that I had to wear for work. That sucked.

    Oh man, Charm Bracelet and Redherring, you're right--it could have been much worse than tissue fuzz!  Good call!

    Jessie, I've done that, and also with CHAPSTICK!  I cried when I took my clothes out and they were full of pink greasy spots.  I hand scrubbed every single thing in the washer and it took me HOURS, but thankfully I was able to get all the stains out because I worked as quickly as I could.

    Oh and today, I was taking a picture of the hubby when he got home from work and I went to go erase one of the ones that didn't turn out as well and I erased ALL the pictures off my camera!  :(  I was like, "OMG, HOW DO YOU UNDO!?!?!"  Then, I cried because I can't replace my pictures and I hadn't saved any of them or the videos from my camera to my computer.  There went all my stuff from the holidays... Cry

    Oh no, Lillindy!  I'm so sorry to hear about your holiday photos!  What a bummer!

    I totally did this last week, but somehow most of the kleenex was inside my clothes, so I didn't even know. When I put it in the dryer it took care of it!!  I had pieces inside clothes when putting them on for a bit, but that was it.

    I have done this many times (and the chapstick too...). I've tried everything to correct the problem (rewashing, etc. ) but always takes a week of lint-rolling. If it makes you feel better, Mr. Snow has washed and dried his cell phone twice (it still worked!) and the TV remote once (worked also!)

    Laylabelle- YES! Ugh, it was the remote tied to our DVR/Digital cable box too (ie not ours...) so I was dreading an embarrassing "Hi..we washed and dried this. We need to purchase another..." walk-of-cable-shame....but those suckers are tough!

    Lol! "walk of cable shame"! Good to know, sounds like something I would do (I walk around with it in my robe. Yup, I'm Al Bundy.)
