Either you guys are going to put iPod nano in the washing machine or lose it by end of this month...
I can already see people are going to scream and cry.

Enjoy your iPod nano while you can....
 
The older Shuffles were just as small.

Also, I would always check the pockets of trousers and stuff before putting them in the wash 😛
 
As long as I don't do this again.

My iPod Shuffle Died Yesterday

Through a stupid fault of mine, then some more bad choices by other family members.

How to destroy an iPod Shuffle:

Step 1: Leave in pants pocket
Step 2: Put pants in wash (front load cycle at 40 degrees celsius).
Step 3: Leave on laundry counter for 5 hours (not my choice, mum didn't know what to do).
Step 4: Get home, decide to place in rice (good way to fix it apparently).
Step 5: Dad gets home, the oven will dry it much faster he says .
Step 6: leave in oven (open door) at 50 degrees celsius, forget about ipod, come back ten minutes later.

All the plastic melted, got a good look inside it though, and it still works as a USB *two thumbs up!*
 
If I didn't with my old one, I doubt I will with my new. Seeing as my old one stayed in my pocket when I was using it.

See, thing is, whenever I'm done walking, I take it out of my pocket and always put it back in the same spot (so I can find it again).
