Hanging bib
An end to the frustration of trying to put shirts on hangers with one hand | |
This would be a bib with a hook on the front. You'd hang your clothes hanger on it, arrange shirt nicely (with both hands!), then take off and hang in the cupboard.

|
| |
Sure would be better than holding the top of the hanger in your teeth! |
|
| |
Sounds reasonable, and you may even find a few customers for this gadget. But I personally will continue to sort the laundry on the bed and insert hangers in the clothing as it lies on the bed. I can accomplish any folding/arranging just fine without actually picking up the garment. |
|
| |
Loop a shoelace or rope loosely around your neck (like a necklace) and hang the hanger from that if you want. |
|
| |
Or grow a third arm thru genetic engineering, as it seems so popular around here. |
|
| |
Whatever's easiest for you. |
|
| |
Yes, but if you have a naked girl stand in front of you so that you can put a hanger on the third arm then it's going to be distracting and you'll NEVER get that shirt hung! |
|
| |
I'm not understanding the problem this apparently solves. What's difficult about putting a shirt on a hanger? |
|
| |
[blissmiss] If the hypothetical naked girl was in front of me, I don't believe that getting the shirt hung would be on top of my list of things to request, especially if she met the criteria to make my "third arm" useable... |
|
| |
[waugsqueke] Getting it to hang properly while holding onto the hanger with one hand and attempting to straighten the shirt with the other hand. |
|
| |
Problems hm? Well you're obviously doing it wrong. |
|
| |
Move the hanger, not the shirt. Hold the shirt by the collar, poke the hanger into one arm, a little wrist finesse here will 'open' the shirt, allowing quick access the other arm with a subtle upward movement. Place the shirt on the rod, then button the collar. Cello! |
|
| |
[added in response to below]
Yes it does, if you're accurate slipping the hanger into the arms. You just give it a little shakedown to level things out. I dunno, I've never had trouble with this. |
|
| |
(Yer right. I went for the cheap. T'is gone.) |
|
| |
That gets the shirt on the hanger, but still doesn't get the tops of the shoulders precisely centered on the hanger. |
|
| |
For the record, I usually hang the hanger on a doorknob and then I have both hands free to make the shirt rest perfectly on the hanger. |
|
| |
(And I tried SO HARD to avoid that joke...) |
|
| |
For hanging shirts for you, or for enabling use of the "third arm"? |
|
| |
I have often thought that some men are a useless waste of space and now I am convinced. I bet UnaBubba can hang a shirt on a hanger with his hands tied behind his back, in the dark, under water while fighting off a crocodile. |
|
| |
I didn't say I couldn't hang the shirt one handed -- just that I want it to be tidy! |
|
| |
The day that being unable to hang a shirt makes one a waste of space is the day I quit the human race. |

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a well, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
-- Robert Heinlein |

oye, mwb stop lazing round the house and get out there in that yard and dig that well. men! |
|
| |
I thought this was going to be for thoughtful suicides - mustn't muss that shirt. |
|
| |
OK, [po], how about your list (or was that one item it?) I seem to recall that the quote said that the list was for a "human being", not just men! |
|
| |
Myself, I'm working on that invasion thing next... |
|
| |
its only MEN that feel the need to prove themselves.
we girls know we are wonderful. conversation closed. |
|
| |
I didn't feel the need to prove myself until YOU asked! I guess turnabout isn't fair play in this game? |
|
| |
game, set and match to mwb. gives in graciously. |
|
| |
did you ever read "turnabout" - Thorne Smith, must look that one up again |
|
| |
What was the idea about again? |
|
| |
Something about hanging Bob. |
|
| |
Didn't a load of schoolgirls have a picnic here once? |
|
| |
