Other than socks and underwear, haven’t lost anything else. But I’ll tell you one weird thing…about something I found in the dryer.
So I’m in there doing laundry and putting the clothes in, and an hour later I come back to get the stuff. Get my clothes out and I find this…nothing impressive at all really, but it wasn’t mine. Green plastic sticks, about ten in all, two inches each, with little magnets balls at each end of all the sticks. Basically you can hook them all up via the magnets, and they stick together and you move them around. I imagine that dancing with a skeleton you just found in the river is the closest I might describe what messing with those stick things is like.
Some kind of toy, or…I have no idea. When I found them I went up to my roomie going, dude, are these yours? She’s like, what the Devil’s lair are those? So, they weren’t hers.
I never found out where those came from. My washing and drying machines are in the basement, and this is an apartment building with four places, and all of the tenants have their own basement sections. Never kept mine locked, so my only guess is, someone used my appliances while both my roomie and I were away at work. I never asked anyone, didn’t really care, but when I found the magnet sticks, I was like…whaaat?
Well, mine now. The girl who was upstairs has a kid, I’m guessing she used my stuff, and those sticks may have belonged to the little boy. Maybe they were in his pockets or wtv. I’m guessing they were in there for a while and that I just didn’t notice them while putting my clothes in, because it’s impossible that those were put in there WHILE my drying was going on. Or at least, extremely unlikely.
She moved away though, was good friends with her, but this happened before I got to know her. Never thought to ask any time after. If it wasn’t her then…no idea.
I keep a lock on my basement section door now. Although this has to do with this random guy whom came down there to look through everything, nothing to do with the magnet sticks. I heard someone down there, and went down with a knife, found the snooper and then gently showed him the way out with my knife resting on the small of his back. I’m only mentioning that out of nowhere because I’ll never forget that one incident and I like looking like a hard bottom, but yeah; magnet stick things; found those in my dryer with my clothes once.
