This is actually an easy one. Cut a paper bag in half and turn on an iron on high, put the bag on the spot and iron the spot. It will get the gum out and it will get all of it out. Just keep ironing and moving the bag around and it will come out... Good Luck

Now Gracie, he's right. ALWAYS ckeck the pockets before you do laundry, if not to prevent tragedies, then do it to check for cash!!!

Grown men can check their own damn pockets, especially if someone else is nice enough to wash their clothes. If he really loves you, he will take the pants to a fabric store and match up the fabric. He'll then find the most talented seamstress in town to make at least ten pairs of the perfect pants for you. (I completely understand the pants issue -- I have one pair that I save for important occasions. They are worth their weight in gold.)

so, what's your favorite jewelry store?

The last thing I left in a pair of pants was a box cutter.
You know, the one sided safety razor, that grocery stockers carry?
Well, I now own four pair of customized Levis.
Usually the missus checks for forgotten items.
My bad, could have been worse, she might have injured herself.
As it is, I only lost a few pairs of jeans, and now I have more cash.
I have it on good authority, that the bag and iron trick works veddy well.

bc my husband is wonderful and never had to wash his own clothes, resulting in my getting very angry to find clothes with ink all over them (where did that pen go?), i now check pockets. i also check them for the cash. it goes right into vacation money, i just pocket it so he doesn't spend it on crappy coffee.
i vote for a laundry strike. just don't wash his clothes. i have tried this and my husband has managed to do laundry on his own.

Flavored chapstick is the laundry-additive of choice in my house. My eight-year-old is obsessed with it. Comes by it honestly though... I am addicted to my Burt's Bees... but I don't usually have pockets.

I like the last option. It will really make him suffer.

Death by immolation. It is the only just response. Then as he burns on the pyre, you can play Wagner's "Ring Series" (you know, the "kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit" from bugs bunny?) and laugh manically, chanting "screw with my laundry, will ya?" The neighbors will definitely not try to intervene.

Been a while since you used the spin cycle, eh?

Deb's too busy building her new immolation patio to work the spin cycle.
