Just a random laundry thought

Found my first coin in the new laundry machine tonight while switching out laundry. It made me laugh,b/c it reminded me of how pissed off that used to make my mom. "Why didn't you check your pockets??? Don't you know that's going to scratch??" Don't get me wrong, I don't find any enjoyment in pissing off my mom, but come on!! So what if there is a scratch in the drum of your washing machine? Who's going to see it? Who really cares?? I guess maybe I should care, since washing machines are expensive, and can't a mere penny derail a train if placed in the right spot? Or is it that the train just flattens it? I don't know. At any rate, I still got a chuckle from it. I think it was a dime anyhow, so no harm no foul, right? It's joined my coin collection on the dryer.
