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.

woah I didn't even know that was a size... I wonder where you would even buy pants that size

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.

I have no idea why we should feel bad for her if she wrought this upon herself. That IS pretty gross. I hate seeing that the stereotype about Americans being fat, as a rule, are true. It pisses me off to be the small number that isn't overweight. Oh well.

OMG I didn't even know that's a size:o.

Good job, you just made us size 16 people feel terrible about ourselves. Congrats.

How the **** is there such thing as a 56?? Seeing as she's that big, how is she able to walk? I mean, having that much weight is definetly putting pressure on her legs, so I can't possibly see how she actually can go places.

wow. this make me feel tiny. im 16 and 100 pounds. i wear a size 2. thank goodness for my fast metabolism! thanks sad that she allowed herself to get THAT big.

I find it interesting that people make jokes at someone like this but a 6' woman that is so thin that she has to wear a childs outfit is fine. People that maker fun of other people because of their size are pathetic.

@#132 When you're that unhealthy to your body and have no consideration for your appearance, it usually validates a shocked expression. I understand your trying to be against size bullying, but you can't get rid of emotions. That woman was huge. No one should let them make it to that size. It's ridiculous.

Dude I wonder how big those would be on me. I'm a size 0 so it would be interesting to find out. And I didn't even know size 56 even existed!
