Why cant the lazy "washer loader" CHECK THE POCKETS before adding

That sounds like a person who has someone else doing the laundry.

Why don't you check your pockets before you throw your stuff in the
hamper ;-)

For the same reason I don't check the oil in my car before starting
my lawnmower. IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON WHO PUTS THE
CLOTHES IN THE WASHER TO CHECK THE POCKETS. PERIOD.

What's a hamper?

So you expect your wife to rummage through your dirty clothes
checking the pockets because you won't do it before you take them
off. Since that means you have to take the machine apart and fix it,
I can understand why she throws a hand full of change in there now
and then, just to **** you off

My wife and I have fought for years over this. In my single life, I
have ruined more than one good shirt and pair of slacks by washing
with a ball point pen.

We both do the laundry at my house. That is the stuff in the dirty
clothes basket, as well as clothes left lying around here and there.
So, as a courtesy, I remove things like belts, cell phones, name
badges, hard IDs (badges, bars, and metal name tags) and whatever is
in the pockets. If I really wanted to be a jerk, all I'd have to do
is leave a ball point or two in my pocket so she could go shopping.

You're not going to win this one. I think it is the responsibility of
the person who puts the wash in the washer to check for foreign
objects, just as it is the responsibility of whoever starts the
lawnmower to check the oil. I'm not going to change my mind.

If it helps you at all, my wife agrees with you. At times I hand her
things that would have been destroyed by washings or damaged other
things in the wash, and walk away, the superior being.

Works for me.

Steve ;-)

I guess I have been trained otherwise. If it is in the laundry basket,
it goes into the frontloading washer. And it gets clean. And the
frontloader works very well, thank you. No I don't recall the brand, and
I am not going into the basement to see.
