Dry Cleaning? What is that :P

I have two Kids, a car payment, a Mortgage and a expensive addition to toys, you think I havn't cut that out of the budget years ago?

Wash and wear baby, wash and wear.

lol TJ, you are the dry cleaners!

I thought you said the TRU employees and manager also recognize you since you've been shopping there for a decade or so.

I have recently discovered H&M. I've gotten some decent shirts and pants at discount for as low as $15 from their sale rack. Looks like stuff from Banana Republic, but cheaper.

100% fucking agree. If it can't be crammed into a washing machine, I don't want anything to do with it. The most effort I'll do is hang dry my shirts. Can't be bothered to iron, and I find if you hang dry it, it doesn't look half bad.

H&M stuff doesn't last a year, since they're so cheap quality. It'll either rip or some other thing will make it unwearable.

I have to iron, to look presentable...blasphemy



...You know you order too much when you're using the rec room and the spare kitchen as storage space (getting crammed), not including your own room, which is primary storage, and looks like a Tetris level of transformer boxes

Like so:

...your mailman hands your girlfriend a package and calls you buy your first name, and in exchange, your girlfriend gives the mailman chocolates for Christmas.

...you go to pick up your package from the postoffice and when you hand the guy your ID, he says, "I don't need your ID. If I don't know you by now, I am never going to know you." Then he makes you go over to the side to pick up the package yourself since the box is too big for him to carry.

Jeebus, that's a lot of stuff crammed in there!

And yeah, H&M stuff doesn't last a year, but neither does anything else I buy. Suits, I'll pay top dollar for, but shoes, shirts and ties, I destroy for some reason.

Re: You know you order too many toys online when...

My wife got to know our mailman pretty good a few years ago. I'd be getting a package/week on average and she was on medical EI around that time. He'd just ring the apartment intercom and say 'he's got another box of toys'. I finally met him a few months ago since I've been working from home. Of course that one time, it was automotive parts, lol.
