Missing
My cleaners have misplaced two of my shirts. On Monday they explained that my shirts were misplaced and to check back on Tuesday. I was ill so I checked yesterday and they explained that the shirts were not found on site and that they must've been given to another customer by mistake.
Ewwwwwww! Who gets another person's clothes and doesn't say anything!?! my mind races. Maybe they just didn't notice yet or something.
Anyway after 10 days they will 'reimburse me' herein lies the problem. I don't know which two shirts are missing and my home inventory yields few answers. Like any good shabby chic pimp I dabble in the low end as well as the dandy. Not all of my shirts are bespoke finery, but if you get between me and my Fred Perry we throw down.
So the two shirts could be worth as little as $35.00 or much more. Not to mention I have damages, I laid awake last night wondering who in my neighborhood my be so callous to keep ill fitting, and ill gotten shirts. I've not only lost shirts but I've lost faith in my fellow man. It has caused me great pain and suffering as I exchange pleasantries with the neighbors always watchful for the slightest suspicious movement.
I tried to remember what I wore around Christmas but nothing.... I have no idea what's missing.
So I'm feeling violated. And like any good American when I feel violated I get punitive. So my inclination is to buy two top shelf shirts and send the bill to my cleaners.
Now I understand why people get monogrammed gear, I don't dig it personally but it keeps other playas from frontin' in yo shiznit.

When you get those new shirts, make sure you write your name and phone number on the inside of the collar à la summer camp.
Even if it doesn't help get them returned to you if they're lost at the cleaners, the identification may get you home safely one night. :)
Had a similar experience to yours. The shirt laundry, despite admitting they'd lost my shirt, was pretty nasty about the whole situation. "We'll only do this once!". I changed cleaners. A great move for me since now my shirts are now picked up and delivered to my office. AND, the cost is 75 cents less per shirt than my old shirt laundry.
Thanks, sounds like I need to shop around a bit.
