Today the old man put his work jeans into the laundry basket and then laughed as he handed me the card pictured above.
He had just found it in the pocket of his new jeans after wearing them for a week. Glad to report that no "excess surface dye" had contaminated his body, other clothing or the furniture. It made me think about washing instructions, which I usually glance at before washing the item for the first time but I'm going to start looking at them closely now after finding these examples on the internet!
Then there were these two gems!
One disgruntled employer from France made their political views known. The bottom part of the next label says, "We are sorry our president is an idiot we didn't vote for him."
Finally, below are two giving some very useful information!
Look at this:
Here's her other book: Not So Sweet Toffee
You can follow me on: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. As you can see, I have far too much to say for myself.
I never find the funny washing instructions. I do have to check my labels as I forget which ones say delicate and which ones I can and can't dry.
ReplyDeleteIt's a minefield! So easy to shrink things.
DeleteI never find funny washing instructions either. I dod once wear a brand new navy blue t-shirt without first washing it and when I took it off my skin was blue.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! Hope they dye came off easily.
DeleteI have ignored the washing instructions for nearly 50 years and I am still alive.,
ReplyDeleteYes, but are your clothes?
DeleteHa-ha! Love those washing instructions. I will be more attentive in future even though my wife refuses to let me near the washing machine or the iron!
ReplyDeleteVery clever move by you men. My partner pretends not to know how to wash and iron too. I get so impatient with his cack-handed attempts that I always end up doing it myself! To be fair, though, he's a dab hand at fixing and mending things while I haven't a clue!
DeleteI had an embarrassing incident with not washing some cheap jeans. My skin turned blue and I finally went to the doctors office convinced my heart was failing. Thankfully before the doctor came, an assistant looked at me and asked had I bought any cheap jeans, say from Walmart. I had, but two weeks prior. She said "just a moment" and returned with cotton and rubbing alcohol. She then cleaned off my blue toned arms (from resting them on my thighs) and when I gasped in embarrassment and astonishment she said I was the third person that month and "don't buy jeans at Walmart".
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Thank you for the giggles. And Strayer's comments never fail to entertain me. lol I always like to wash new clothes before wearing, especially considering some sources.
DeleteSize: Fat? LOL
ReplyDeleteI think that one is on most of my labels!!
