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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, before I washed my husband’s stinky work jacket, I made sure to check the pockets. What I didn’t realise was that there was another pocket which had two USB sticks with all of his students’ work on them. The guilt trip has been going on for hours, and I’m 39 weeks pregnant, stressed out of my mind. 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
Today, I found one of my boyfriend's earbuds in the dryer. He's gonna be pissed. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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!

Actually because these drives are powered by the computer and contain no batteries or moving parts, you can use them immediately after washing them. I've done this many times, heck sometimes it's good to give em a good wash.

Yep, the only damage comes from actually putting an electrical current through it. Not an FML at all.

why do men never empty their pockets when they chuck their clothes in the laundry geeez!!

You apparently don't know the mystery of men's pants. I'll let you in on a secret; unlike "girl pants", where the pockets can barely fit a cell phone, guy's pants have pockets that can fit a small car. Exaggeration aside, I don't have a pair where there's a pocket (watch pocket in jeans excluded) that doesn't at the very least have enough room to fit my entire hand with fingers spread. I've got some pairs where I can just about fit my entire forearm in as well. It's not that we don't check our pockets, it's that we miss stuff.

Pockets aside, why would you even want to buy new shoes every week?

Hide it and deny all knowledge. If he doesn't have backup, he will learn a valuable lesson.

My flashdrive went through the wash 3 times when I was in middle school. It always worked afterwards.

He shouldn't have put his USB stick in the laundry basket if he didn't want you to wash it.

You might be able to save it still. Dry it out, and I mean really dry (let it sit on the window sill in a sunny area for a couple of days) and then test it. If you test it when it's wet it'll fry it. Fingers crossed it works!

angry female friends, I implore you to please re-read the FML. She was removing her laundry. She saw the usb drive that she found days before. It was in her own pocket.
