  • Icky!

    I went shopping for jeans the other day in a department store. I hate shopping for jeans (like most women I suspect) so I have a system whereby I just grab what I think is my size in ten different styles and bring them all to the dressing room at once.

    So I'm in the dressing room and I've got one leg into my fourth pair when I realize they're dirty. Like grass-stained dirty. I pull them off and look at them. They're not a brand that the store carries. And they're worn out. Someone has clearly brought whatever pair was on the hanger into the dressing room, put their old gross jeans back on the hanger, returned those to the rack, and walked out in the new ones.

    All I could think about was washing my hands. I can't remember, but I may have handled the crotch of those jeans. The crotch.

    If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com

      Eew! Nasty! Wrong! Nasty! Sick. Wrong! Eew!

      My reactions, in order, when I read that:

      1)

      2)

      3)

      4)

      That is SERIOUSLY nasty. Lets hope those things got the treatment before too many helpless employees were forced to handle them.

        I was buying trackpants for my husband and ran into a similar situation. Took the old and worn trackpants back to the customer service desk (it was a department store), and the woman at the desk told me they ran into that situation often.

        People! Sheesh.
        Seshat's self-help guide:
        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

            ICKY? You want Icky?

            Last year, My mother and father bought me the bane of all christmas presents.

            Underwear.

            Oh sure, it was really expensive, fifty dollars for a three pack underwear; but it was still underwear.

            Opening the pack, imagine if you will pulling out the first set and finding that they were fine. However the other two were a pair of skidmarked well used size 50 Fruit of the Looms.
            Learn wisdom by the follies of others.

              EWW. Eww eww eww. My brain official hurts - and I will from now on inspect all clothing and packaging with a slight queasy feeling.
