uncreasingly tragic

#29 Realizing that you left a utensil that contains ink in your pant pocket, during the last laundry cycle

your new shirt or pair of pants...RUINED. 

not only did you forget that you put your favorite pen in your pocket, but you also forgot to check ALL your pant pockets before you tossed them into the washing machine.

folks, this is not just a rookie mistake. in fact, most of the laundry rooks check compulsively for these potential tragedies. it's the tenured veterans that i've found swearing like sailors.

surprisingly, there is a simple solution to this awful development--check your pockets! you would be surprised at how often i see others standing around with their arms crossed or messing around with their hair. this is valuable time that could be spent doing a 4-pocket check (depending on the pant type/style). may this entry serve as a forewarning for the pen or marker that is already sitting in your laundry basket.


happy hunting!
