If you lose focus in
this game for one minute, somebody gets shredded business card in the laundry
I think George Clooney put it a little more elegantly.
Perhaps, but I'm also not robbing a casino...I'm just washing my clothes. Anyway, we've all done it. Put something through the washing machine that we shouldn't have, and it proves disastrous when it comes out. If we're lucky, it was just a piece of paper that becomes a large mess of pulp, but if we're a little more on the unlucky side, it's chap stick or a crayon or something that comes out a sticky mess that has contaminated the entire load.
Of course, this sort of thing is entirely preventable. There's no reason for having a handful of your own business cards in your shirt pocket once you leave work.
There's barely a reason for you to have business cards in the first place.
A brief check of the pockets is sufficient to locate and remove any laundry contraband, and 83% of the time, I remember to do this, and trouble is averted. Of course, that leaves a more than insignificant number of times when I'll leave something in the pockets and end up fishing change out of the bottom of my washer, or picking washed-up paper shreds out of my shirt. I'll go ahead and let you guess which happened the last time I did laundry.
