Hanger conflict #1837354892464999

Ok, here's an odd one for you - the other day i was at big-blue w/ the yellow smiley place, and bought a pair of shorts and mix-and-match 2 piece swimsuit - the cashier took the hanger off the shorts, and left them on the swimsuit - now i know its odd, but i have to hang shorts, but i put my swimsuit in the drawer (i have limited drawer space) either take all 3, or gimme all 3 - do not presume, and if in doubt, ask me!
i dont know how many times i've been asked "do you want the hanger" there have been times i said yes, and others when i said no, i've also asked if i could keep hangers, but when told no, i say "okay"

[Teskeria]

My reply was that it's been this way as long as I've been there. I've worked there 6 years. Seriously, go buy some hangers. We sell a pack for $1.29.

'Certainly Ma'am. I can sell you the hangers for $1.50 each. Or if you prefer, you can purchase a pack from aisle ## of # for $1.29."

I never have enough hangers. ever. I don't know where they go, but I think they run off with the *other* sock.

I thought the stray socks went to live with Jesus!

[mandaliz8704]

I have a family of 6, which means I have a stray sock drawer the size of the Aleutian Chain. *twitch* every month or so I go through it and play matchy matchy. Its not fun at all.

All of my socks are clones of each other. I buy them in packs of a dozen. All identical.

That way when I lose one of them I don't even notice. Then when I lose another sock, I'm back to an even number again!

[Magpie]

Panic when they hatch into shopping carts!

Wasn't that snow globes?

Which works fine until you accidentally get a set of /almost/ identical socks. Or you and your father have identical socks (my husband still has some socks left that he had to sew yellow thread into the cuff so they could be told apart). Or your in-laws, as a joke for Christmas, after noticing that your socks are worn through, get you 45 pairs of socks, some of which are similiar, but not identical (and wear differently) to the ones your fiancee finally convinced you to buy in November.

Thanks to my job, I have to get my clothes dry cleaned every week (well that and since I am rather clumsy I am worried about using an Iron. No seriously, I am that clumsy.) When I pick them up, every time, they have a new hanger on them. No they don't take old hangers, when you turn them in they hand you back your hangers. So I have HUNDREDS of hangers. They are EVERYWHERE. I donate them every couple weeks to a food/clothing shelter nearby. Yet they seem to multiply despite that (it's like they are breeding!). So needless to say I neither want nor need hangers. Please..keep them. I can't get rid of the ones I have fast enough.

Or if they discontinue that exact style right when you're needing a new set of socks OH GOD WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO ME AAAHHH

That's so surprising! I take all of our hangers back to the dry cleaner's and they're glad to get them as it saves $$. They even have a special rack for returned hangers.

Good idea on giving them to the shelters, though.

[PepperElf]

i know when i buy a dress the hanger often comes with it, just so that it will hang properly

but really... who wants a hanger that ... God knows how many hands have been fondling? And how many of those hands were unwashed?


yum yum

I always ask if I can keep the hanger when I buy clothes; I'm incredibly clumsy and also messy, and I keep leaving the hangers on the floor where they lie in wait for me to step on them and break them. -.-

However, if the cashier says no, I accept it and don't throw a hissy fit. If they say yes, then it's a bonus.

They're in my front hallway in a giant garbage bag. All tangled up in the biggest wad of hangers you ever saw. I never buy hangers. I have breeding stock!

[Stryker One]

Wire hangers, they really are the best.

For beating the young-lings.

[dalesys]

I used half a dozen of the all-wire hangers to keep my little brother in the closet...

He has a lot of hangups these days...
