  • Discounted for warm fuzzies

    I was browsing the clearance/returns at a store the other day and saw one so funny, I had to photograph it.


    The item was a 750 thread count sheet that was marked down from an original price of $59.99 down to $6.99. The return reason? "Has some fuzzies on it".

    Fuzzies. Like lint. Wouldn't you wash the sheets before using them anyway?

    The "fuzzies" were visible through the packaging:


    Almost a 90% discount on a nice sheet because of "fuzzies"....

      From what I've heard, sheets generally don't have fuzzies on them until after they're put on the bed - and that's only until the fuzzies are ordered to get off the "people bed".

        At which point they look at you like you've lost your mind, then put their little heads down on their paws and go back to sleep.
        When you start at zero, everything's progress.

          Makes you wonder how much of a discount the sheet would get if instead of fuzzies, it had crusties.

            Pretty much

            I'd buy that too, in a flash - a markdown like that, for the sake of just putting it through the same wash that I'd do with new sheets anyway?

              Our sheets almost always have fuzzies on them

              And yeah, I'd have bought them too. I know that there are some people out there who don't wash new clothes before wearing them, I'm certainly not one of them.

                  Our sheets have two species of fuzzies. One of which is a dachshund. They burrow.

                      A typical day at my house, IOW.

                      And right now, I've got one on my desk curled up next to the other laptop just like she owns the whole room.

                        Right now one of my fuzzies is cuddled up next to me. I pulled the blanket off him when I got up to get a snack. He wasn't happy. It's chilly in here.

                            "one in the clean laundry" You washed one of your fuzzies?

                              If it's like ours, someone saw clean laundry, and thought: "OH BOY! SOMETHING FRESH TO SHED ON!!!"

                              And of course the cream-colored one has to find all of mama's black pants to sit on.

                              One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
