If you can't laugh at yourself, everyone will do it for you.
It's true. Sometimes, you really have to just giggle at your own mistakes. I learned that the other day when I went to the dry cleaners.
I had emptied out my "dry cleaning" hamper, filled with mostly business attire (slacks, blazers and a few blouses), and dropped it off at the cleaner's in the VIP overnight "drop off" on my way home from work on Wednesday.
I returned Friday to claim my items, so I will have clean clothes to wear to work next week. The guy was grinning when he handed me my bag. He told me the price, which was cheaper than I expected. I paid, and as soon as I returned home and started to put away my clothes, then saw what he was smirking about. Attached to my garment bag was a little note: "Sorry we couldn't get stains out of blue slip. Fee was reduced." And that's when it dawned on me.. Stains? Blue Slip? Oh no!
Yep. Sure enough, there was the blue slip that I threw in the "dry clean only hamper" so it would not get mixed with my normal wash, and I placed it in this hamper for the time being with every intention of taking it out and trying to hand wash it when I had time.
I had worn this slip in a set of photos I had taken for my website, unfortunately, I had my hands coated in baby oil when I was posing for the camera. Set in the dainty blue silk material were HAND PRINTS across the boobs. LOL I had to wonder how hard they'd tried to remove the oil from the silk. There was no doubt that the stains were hand prints. *giggle*

So, now I have a new rule. When taking anything to the dry cleaners, I will check to make sure there are no pervy stains on my stuff BEFORE I drop them off to be cleaned. Ha ha.
Still a little embarrassed, I wonder if they took a photo of my nighty and placed it on a bulletin board in the break room... *giggle*
