Dry Cleaning Cleanout

[ravan]

Ugh! My roomie took 21 item in for dry cleaning last week, to be picked up today. I figured ~$126 ($6 per item, too high in my book) We got there, and the bill was a whopping $154!! Holy Smoke! F***ing outrageous! What'd they do, press the things with a mini iron?

Needless to say, we're going to shop around abit before I take my jackets in to be cleaned, so my wallet doesn't get cleaned out again.

$Cow-orker (who admits he's obsessive / compulsive) spends over $250 (US) per month on dry cleaning.

He insists that all his clothing be laundered by professionals. He makes perhaps $30K (US) per year.

He spends at least $200 (US) on clothing every month. He also has a brand-new Ford F-150 pickup (no frills, but new) which he drives to work daily.

His wife, OTOH, makes do with old, ragged clothes and drives a car which is barely moving on its last, trembling legs.

$Cow-orker states he'd like to be able to dress and provide for her better, but he simply can't afford it, so she'll have to keep making do....

Then he goes on to tell me about the three truckloads of compost he's just had delivered for his back yard, as he's going to put down sod this summer....

Sorry, your dry-cleaning anecdote seems to have triggered a minor land mine in my ever-increasing minefield of annoyance. Apologies.

$Cow-orker's wife needs to divorce his selfish, neurotic ass and get herself a vibrator. He blows $$$ on himself while pleading poverty when it comes to her, and says she'll have to "make do"?? She needs to take his stuff and pawn it when he's not looking... then get out. Gods, he's a prick. I bet she pays most of the mortgage, too.
