Today, after taking my clothes out of the washer, I noticed at the very bottom of the washer my boyfriend's USB stick I found a couple of days ago. The USB stick contains his English essay, and his novel he has been working on for almost six months. FML

Today, I learned that my boyfriend hides valuables in the washing machine under dirty clothes when leaving town for the weekend. I learned this AFTER I'd done a load of laundry. FML

Today, I found a pair of women's underwear in the laundry that wasn't mine. I confronted my boyfriend about it. They were his. FML

Today, my boyfriend came round to drop off some underwear, which I'd left at his house. Not all of what he brought was mine. FML

Today, while I was looking for a file on my boyfriend's hard drive, I came across photos of a half-naked woman wearing my clothes, but whose head wasn't really visible. When I demanded an explanation, I realised that it wasn't another girl - it was him. FML

An Inconvenient Thief

Today, after meeting a girl for the first time and having sex with her, I found not only my wallet missing but also the 128 GB pen drive that had my project I've been working on for 6 months on it. I have to give the presentation in 3 days. FML

Today, I started some laundry late at night. Once my clothes were in the washer for about a half hour, I got bored and I decided I would listen to my iPod. After looking for it for another 15 minutes, I remembered where I'd left it; in my jacket... which is now nice and clean. FML

Today, I gave my son a bollocking for losing a very important paper that I needed for work. I've just found it in my right pocket. FML

Today, my boyfriend texted me, asking if I had left my underwear over at his place. No, no I didn't. They weren't mine. Awesome. FML

Today, I had just finished re-completing all my assignments because I had lost my USB last week. I reached into my pocket for gum, instead I found the USB that I had apparently lost. I spent my weekend alone rather than spending time with my friends. I don't have another weekend off for a month. FML

You can just dry it off in the sun... don't use it for about a week so that it dries thoroughly, then it should work just fine. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Yeah, it should still work once it dries out (flash memory=no moving parts). Should be a lesson to your boyfriend, too—clean out your own damn pockets!

Mine still works after going through the dryer.

My suggestion: DO NOT TELL HIM YOU FOUND IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! :) But be very sympathetic towards the cause...

It does not matter if the USB drive gets wet as long as it is dried before being plugged in again as flash drives use an external power source provided by the computer so cannot short-circuit when wet.

Poll: How many sandwiches will it take to make up for this?

No big deal. First off, flash drives are fairly rugged and theres a good chance it survived (assuming you didn't plug it in before it dried.) If it is dead, no big deal, he just has to eat $15 to get another one and copy the backups from his computer on there.

My flash drives have gone through the washer and dryer multiple times without mishap. It'll be fine as long as you don't plug it in while wet. So yeah, test it before freaking out.

My brother in law put his USB key through the wash and it still worked.

If your BF was working on it for six months and had no backups he is an idiot...

As a writer myself....USB's are something that are made as a backup, not the actual one and only copy itself. If that was his only copy...then live and learn. Always have more than one backup. So, it should be fine ;)
