I feel like Joan Crawford from Mommie Dearest as I write that title, but I absolutely hate having wire hangers in my closet.
For starters, they get tangled so danged easily. There has been more than one occasion where I have broken skin and bled trying to free the hangers. Also, they leave creases in the shoulders of garments that are not worn very often. The worst thing is that when you are in a hurry and tug a shirt off of one, you bend it all up.
Now, they do have their purposes. I have one that I cut apart and bended nicely to pull my hair clogs out of the shower. Back in the old days, they were very handy for breaking into your car when you locked the keys inside. Hm, that's all I can think of right now.
I've long wanted to rid my closet of these things, but it seemed so impractical. I made the first step a couple of weeks ago when I was at The Container Store looking for kitchen cannisters. I ended up buying a box of 72 hangers instead. These are definitely more sturdy that the cheap, flimsy ones I've seen at WalMart or Target.
Now, what do I do with all the old wire ones? I'm sure Goodwill or places such as that are overrun with them. Dry cleaners won't take them back anymore. Anyone got any ideas on who might want them?
