The Sign Says: WET PAINT

[Horsetuna]

We had a pair of pants come in today from one of the other dry cleaners' (they basically take stuff in, send it to us, we drop it off, and split the cash between both stores).

It quite literally looked like the guy in those cartoons and movies who sit on a bench marked WET PAINT. we're not talking little streaks, but 'full butt impression sit down' on the seat of his suit pants paint.

and he wanted them cleaned at no extra charge.

Needless to say, he didnt get it, but the boss called him up and he wasn't a further SC and agreed to the additional costs of cleaning.

Still... He expected this at no cost? The boss will be working likely at least an hour of labor into those pants.

That's a new level of fail right there

I guess I shouldn't mention the band uniform I destroyed by sitting in blue paint at Yankee Stadium. Although to be fair, none of the 100+ band people/parents saw any Wet Paint signs.
Was the last time I had a uniform that fit right, too.

Ha! We had just painted a wall where I work. Long wall, lots of space around, no reason to go near the wall, with barricades that said 'WET PAINT' about every 10-feet. What did someone do? Walk right along next to the wall, trailing their hand along it, then goes and screams at the office for the paint on the sleeve of their coat. Gah!!!!

Three words come to mind in regard to the customers in Horsetuna and LillyFilly's comments, "Here's your sign!"

aur, I was actually trying to quote 'Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs' but wasn't sure if it would fit

Boss is still working on those pants btw.

The easiest way to get a perfectly-fitted band uniform was to be in the band the year they got new uniforms. We all got measured, and had our own assigned uniforms for the year. The best part was we got them my first year of high school, so I kept my 'own' uniform until I graduated.
