The one thing I will not do.

I don't make very many demands (right, dear?).  But there is one thing I absolutely refuse to do. I will not check pants pockets before putting them in the laundry. Laundry is a lot of work by itself, it is not unreasonable to ask that people empty their pockets before putting their dirty laundry into the hamper  on the floor where they stand. Unfortunately this occasionally causes me grief. I've washed a few pens {annoying}, a cell phone {mine}, headphones {hope they still work}, and we have a pile of the cleanest rocks on earth piling up on the dryer. But occasionally it works to my advantage. Occasionally at the bottom of the washer I see some soggy, folded up cold, hard cash! My heart starts to race as I reach down and pick it up. Yes!!! It's mine. All mine. Never mind the fact that it's usually a dollar, sometimes two and it may have come from my own pocket. But no matter, because sometimes it makes laundry fun!
