What have you found when cleaning?

The_Minister

Just taking a break from cleaning my room (it needed it, sooooo badly), and along with some treasured items, such as a letter from my now-dead granny, there was a load of junk.

The lotto tickets from 2007 were slightly embarrassing.

The UCD Ball leaflet from 2005 was a bit awkward.

The 7% Kopperburg mixed fruits (still unopened) was a little weird, as was the bottle of pina-colada from 2005.

The Euro-punt cardboard converter was just retro cool - or so I tell myself.

But:
The vouchers for bookstores and the vouchers for Golden Discs were the worst.















They were in pounds.

That's right = £'s

It left me thinking two thoughts:

1. I really need to clean out my room more frequently

2. Would shops honour the vouchers?

I once found a letter which an old flame wrote to me. Oh, I miss her.

That and a sock.

I found a new passion for life while cleaning.


Unfortunately one of my cats had urinated on it so I just threw it out.

While in college, my room wasn't *that* messy, but I'd always have clothes on the floor.
One day, I got an odd smell, and thought it was the socks... so put them out and opened the windows.
Next day - smell still there. wtf? Thought it might be the lamp shade holder - sometimes that stinks. Changed that, but still odd stinky smell.
Following weekend, and no joy knowing what the smell was... I cleaned my room, and lifted all the clothes off my floor.
Upon lifting a hoodie up, I found a perfectly dried turd on it. Turns out, my cat had come into my bedroom and left me a 'present'.. and it took me probably over a week to find it!
I kept my room spotless after that...

Last year during a spring clean I came across a very old disposable camera which I had forgotten to get developed. I brought it to the chemist and got the pics developed, they were of a trip I did in the Caribbean with a couple of mates a few years earlier. One photo stood out in particular as I'd totally forgotten even taking it until I saw the full set together. It was my mates response to the French signs on the island of Guadeloupe forbidding nude sunbathing.

Are you going to explain why your mate has red marks on his bottom? Did YOU inflict those marks?

While cleaning under the bed, I found the emply box from a pair of tights - you know the ones with the virtually naked women on them, except for long legs and tights....It was my sons room I was cleaning...AGE 6....

I found food in my freezer recently with the price in pounds.

I had a bag that I kept all my odd-socks in when the other ones went missing. I got so annoyed that I threw away the bag. So now I'm moving out and cleaning my room and have pretty much found every sock that had been missing.

Damn

Vain

I found dirt:P

If he bought them to look at the woman no, if he bought them to wear the tights then yes.

Tidying my room today I found 20 euro under my pile of dirty washing. Not too bad!

tommmy1979

While cleaning out my shed i found a money bag with a large wad of notes in it. It must have been left there by previous tenants. I rushed inside to convert the notes which were made up of about 5 different currencies into euros on xe.com. Drand total of 15 euro something something ...booooo!

When i moved into an apartment some time ago, i moved my bed to find a used condom. :eek:

Landlord had to get a cleaner in cos I certainly wasnt touching it.

Didnt stay too long in that place.....

A tin of pineapple slices that had grown something that I can only describe as hair like.
A half filled glass of milk where the milk was solid. You could turn the glass upside down and it wouldn't fall out.
A really badly out of date orange. It was blackish in parts and if you touched it it spat out some dust.
Some bastardised concoction we had to scrape off the wall. I can't remember what I put in it but there was some toothpaste, various sauces, fake tan, beans and some other shít.
Cheese slices from the ceiling.
Found a block of cheese behind the toilet once (that one wasn't me).
Hair from the shower hole thingey is always rank.
Various foods that were stuck to plates and blue molded.
Bag of spuds where some of them had started growing, if I remember correctly.
Blue mold sandwhich from under someones bed.
Funniest was a plate under one of the cushions in the couch.

Jeez never clean under your bed.

When I was in college in the States, I fished out two knickers and four thongs all smelling quite rank and with a frikken good 'bloom' on the gusset,my MBA blueprint covered in dried spunk and fanny batter, a large dildo 'Batman', a trio of heavily skidded jocks,a half can of pilchards and a pair of open crotch tights.

Musty smell was something horrible and everything had that rank stale stink about it.


never again.

That was most likely spores from the fungus that was growing on your orange.

The more you know.

I usually find old teddy bears under my bed.

I take them back to bed later and remind them that I still love them.


Yeah. You read it right.

When I said I found an empty box, I meant I wore the tights, he stole the box to look at the naked girl on it.............
