Ah, I thought of a clip as bigger and more decorative.

It says bobby pins on the packet. And yes, I'm always finding them in the washing machine as well.

I keep threatening to shave my daughter's head if I find any more of the bloody things around. They're in the washing machine, in the lint filter of the dryer, all over the bathroom counter, the floor, I even found my cat playing with one.

Clips are more like what we call barettes. Clips are bigger and usually decorative where bobby pins are meant to not be seen.

Goobers are pretty much harmless, so no worries.

The folks who live around the corner....for never clearing the pavement on snow on the side street that we live on. They clear the path on the pain road side though.

Knobhead even runs a snow ploughing sideline.

Also hate how when all the main roads get ploughed, the side intersections get blocked in by the snow, which is a bugger to then cross over if you're pushing kids in a push chair....that and trying to help a little kid clear the snow bank to cross the road at a zebra crossing.
