Today, an extremely large lady came into the dry cleaners where I work. She puts what I assume is a blanket on the counter to be dry cleaned. I said, "So just the one blanket then?" She replied, "Those are my pants, not a blanket." She was a size 56. FML

Well I dont think she will be coming back in, honestly the biggest pants I have ever seen. I am 6 foot and I could pretty much stand in the waist line of the pants. and we had to charge her 5 dollars more. Needless to say the presser was PISSED. I could not say "one item" because the dry cleaners I work at does not charge the same price for every item ( Like a lot do). I did give her a discount though because I felt so bad.

Re: Hannah's question (#2): I used to work in a clothing shop where we once had a man come in for pants that were a 66" waist and 26" inseam. He stood all of 5'4" -- literally wider than he was tall. He actually could only buy clothes once day a year, because clothing manufacturers generally pick only one style and size of each garment to make across the whole shop each day (or at least, one sytle per sewer, as it saves time and money by not having to keep changing the patterns all day), and once you get over a certain size, it's simply not worth it to make the ultra-plus sizes more than one day out of the year.

Don't feel bad about it. I mean if she doesn't want to be offended and have stuff like that happen she should lose weight. Besides being that big is very unhealthy.

#32, #36, read #20. Blanket rates are different than pants rates. Speaking of blankets, that's a damn comforter. The blankets on top of my bedspread could quadruple themselves to make up the fabric those pants require.

#32 - The Law of Conservation of Matter would hold that the answer to why is "because she ate that much". Res ipsa loquitor.

HAHAHAHA I have no sympathy for this woman. You can blame being a little overweight on genetics if you want but a size 56 is BEYOND anyone else's fault. Since you obviously weren't saying that to be mean, you shouldn't feel bad.

#22 - Why couldn't you imagine wearing a pant size bigger than your age? I'm 15 and I wear size 33" pants, but I'm not overweight. I'm 180 pounds and 6'1".
