Attention DRy Cleaning customers! (Bit Gross)

[Horsetuna]

Accidents happen, I know. its not bad. But when its happening on a regular basis, maybe look into depends? Its probably a pride thing for you gents to have to wear diapers, but to be honest, I'd rather wear a diaper than smell like pee and crap, and THEN send my dry-clean only pants to the poor ladies and men at the local DC. That smell never comes out you know, and it fills up my entire station when the pants get steameed.

Ladies! I know that when aunt flo visits you can't always catch all her messes! But please to NOT be wearing White pants during this time if you can help it! My boss today quoted "You know, I woke up this morning and I said 'Gee, I sure hope some lady sends me white pants with a fresh you-know-what stain in the crotch! That would just MAKE MY DAY'. If it does happen (I'm a lady, I know sometimes it escapes), at least rinse it a bit before you send it to us. IT would make it a lot less shocking.

Dude who got his nice suit all wined up. We'll try to clean it, but you already tried to clean it, so its a good chance the stains are set. And no, you are STILL going to pay for it even if we couldnt get all the stains out, because we still put effort and chemicals into the attempt to remove it cause you got too drunk.

Dude with the plaid pants: i want to see the rest of your wardrobe. I find plaid pants to be interesting, having had a pair myself. (not a suck).

Dude who brought in his dad's very 'browned' pants: No, YOU didnt 'upchuck' on them, but we still have a charge added for extremely messed pants, and you still have to pay the 'gross fee'.



For the most part, I'm enjoying my job at the Dry cleaners'. The burn is still visible almost a month later on my arm, but I haven't done it again since! I also found out I'm allowed to kick my pant-press table when it doesnt behave too! A lot of the customers are a lot of fun and are friendly. There's very few sucky customers, and my boss told me a few of the above stories.

DISCLAIMER: As I said before, accidents happen. that's fine. Its the people who are regularly dirtying their pants who need to invest in some adult diapers or at least, non dry-clean-only, non WHITE pants.

Why do people wear white pants in the first place? Your underwear shows through.

not if you wear them while going highlander. never understood the white pants thing myself. but most of my jobs were in dirty service industry where khakis were ruined on a regular basis. meh

Going Highlander. That's a new phrase for me! I like it better than Going Commando. Makes more sense.

Depends on the fabric. I have some white courdoroys (sp?) that you cannot see through. I also have white jean shorts that you can't see through. I hardly EVER wear the white shorts. The cords I just bought and haven't worn yet. But, if you have some type of white polyester dress pants - then, yeah, you better not wear the underoos that day.

I'm telling you people nowadays don't have common sense. Who wear white pants during that time of the month.The same girls who wear bright red panties with white pants,that's who.

[depechemodefan]

I always wear the darker pants that time of the month. And nylon underwear. don't wear cotton underwears those time of the month girls.

I also try not to buy "dry clean only" clothes.

They also are the girls who try on swimsuits on that time of the month. Which is stupid on many levels, esp. when you are bloated so you need to get a bigger swimsuit to fit in into.

Really? I've never heard that.

I own a pair of light pink corduroys and some denim khakis so light they're almost white, but I'd never wear them around that time, ya know?

I also try to avoid buying anything that says dry clean only. If for no other reason, to save the embarrassment if something actually did happen. I don't want to take my icky stains for other people to see.

Wow, when I did my pharmacy assistants course part of the training was to advise women to wear natural fibres for their underwear to reduce irritation (wooly knickers ahoy! )

Who wears wool underwear?!

Also, if u were tannish colored underwear under white pants and shirts, its less detectable than wearing white undies .

It was a silly jest as it was the first natural fibre to spring to mind.

But what if you want to show off your lucky rocketship underpants?

Isn't it kind of pointless to wear them if nobody asks to see 'em?

[AdminAssistant]

It's funny..err..odd? Well, it's something. But, if I'm wearing a light fabric, it's best for me to wear light pink underthings instead of tan. Just my skin coloring.

teehee. That made me giggle. I love Calvin and Hobbes.

Ye Gods, white pants...........

sos this lady? young adult, anyway, comes strolling thru when I was working retail clothing- looked really nice- at first. Pretty teal top with white tank peeking out just so, nice white capris with the matching teal underwear elastic also peeking out- usually I make some crack about not wanting to know your underwear color unless I launder for you, but she was so well coordinated and just looked good, so I forgave her.

And then she walked by.

Turns out the teal banded panties where white- which is ok if not favorite (flesh-tone is better for underwear), but had teal polka-dots.

On blood stains- it's far easier to get blood of any sort out of poly fiber. Regrettably, poly panties blow goats. And if someone were to knit me lace-weight superwash merino wool panties, I would do many favors.
