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.

Some people can be predisposed by their genetics to hold onto weight and onto every bit of fat they bring into their body, some people have high metabolisms, and some people have low. You can't blame someone's weight entirely on how much they eat. My mom eats very healthily and she's overweight and even though all she eats is healthy food she can't lose the weight even with exercising. I am overweight and I may eat junk food once in a while but overall I eat healthy, home cooked often vegetarian meals. Besides just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they are extremely unhealthy. That's like saying all skinny people have eating disorders.

Yes this is true but she wears size a 56 so she's probably not healthy because if she did like your mom a she would lose atleast a little weight

This reminds me of a lady that comes into my work in a wheel chair with her fat falling off the chair. It's so gross

But honestly she wears a size 56 i think she knows she is fat so it is not OP fault at all

why are there so many douchebags critisizing her weight? diddly damn, people are insensitive.

Charge her double. Maybe triple. Maybe what it would cost to dry clean an actual blanket. How people let themselves get that huge I have no idea. Health problems don't cause morbid obesity like that.

Why did it take until the 32nd comment for someone to realize that this woman is also a human being?

I feel like the lady with the pants should have this post
