Have you ever put on an old coat or pair of jeans or something else and found something interesting in the pockets?

I grabbed an old coat out of the closet tonight and found an interesting reminder from the past.

Anyone have a good story?

I found a $20 bill and a McDonald's receipt from 2002.

What did you find, OP?

Was going through my closet when we moved house for the first time since 1979 a few years ago... Found an old jacket at the very back with some nuddy pics in the pocket that I remember my cousin gave me when i was like 12 years old... I must have "hid" them there back then...

More recently, found $300 in gaming chips from the Taj Atlantic City in another jacket which i havent worn in a few years...

I found the soul of an ex-ATOTer I had placed in a jar. I immediately smashed it though.

I once bought a jacket at an Eddie Bauer warehouse sale where they sold merchandise that had been returned and such. The coat was $10 and when I got home I found a $20 bill in the inside pocket.

What does this mean?



It should be obvious. Once upon a time you were a politician, then you either developed amnesia or grew a conscience. I suppose you could be a former IRS employee, too. :p

I found some silver ingots, and a receipt from when I bought them in January of 1999. Silver was only $3.99 an ounce at the time, if I recall correctly.

Was way back when, but I once found an old library cost I thought I lost... Other than that, usually just really nasty, hardened and used tissues.

I once found the signed lease to my summer apartment....I always wondered why they let me live there for free for 3 months.

Just old receipts, a bunch of napkins that were so old they were falling apart, old ass chapstick, pocket watch, change, guitar pic and other assorted garbage.

a fist full of brown recluse spiders.

Just kidding... but BR spiders are the first thing I think about when I grab a blanked or coat that's been in a closet for more than 6 months. I'll spend 10 minutes trying to find the spiders.

Edit to add that I have never found a BR spider in a blanket of a coat, but that doesn't stop me from looking.

Not an old coat, but a hat. My regular one was in the washer so I grabbed an old one. Well it turns out that 6 feet off the floor on a coat hangar is not out of reach for mice. When I tried to put it on, there was a bunch of mouse shit inside. Guess it was cozy.
