::blink blink::

on Friday, i brought two pairs of pants to the cleaner. they are new & needed to be shortened just a bit. i expained that i needed them to be a half inch shorter & that i would need them back by Tuesday.

today is Tuesday. i just went to pick them up. i was just told...

...nothing was done to the pants. because they were already the length i had requested.

ummm...

the pants are already a half inch shorter than they were when i brought them in to be shortened?

really?

i guess i need to find two more pairs of pants to bring to California with me tomorrow. and a pillow to scream into.

Argh -that was probably quite frustrating, but it's kind of funny too!! Strange.

Two things:
1. I HATE when I drop things off to the dry cleaners and they don't come back the way they were supposed to (your case in point!) OR...dont come back at all! I've lost some of my favorite things to the dry cleaners....

2. THANKS for the shoutout on thirtysomething bloggers. I wondered why I was getting hits from there, and I saw you were being focused! Very, very cool. :) I feel the love and same back at ya! :)

Have a good trip!

That is so strange. You are finding another dry cleaner when you get back right?

I would love to have seen their expression when 1/2 in shorter does not equal the way you brought them in. Morons.

You obviously stepped through a time warp. You're lucky you didn't go back before you dropped them off. Then they would have been saying, "What pants??" :-D

LOL! That's why it's good to have a live in tailor (my mom). Have a great trip!

So I probably shouldn't be laughing hysterically at your trauma but OMG! that is funny! People never cease to amaze me. I hope you found some pants to tkae on your trip and that you have a fabulous time despite the incompetent dry cleaners...
