So my brilliant mother decided to do the laundry and washed up my USB drive with my pants.

Haven't plugged it into anything yet. Used the hair blower for a min, then dumped it into rice.

Anything else to be done?

I've washed a USB drive in my pants twice now. Just let it dry before trying to use it.

Yes, but I'm assuming he never specifically put the pants into whichever pile/whatever was to be washed.

Sig under construction.

I was at school and before I left I told her to not do the laundry I would do it myself whe I got back.

Don't jump into random conclusions especially on others life. Ask before you give a personal opinion.
