well it's just a simple fact
opening the door joining my garage to the family room, i'm face to face with a scruffed up, hesitantly bouncing gentleman.
i smile warmly and it's returned by his own sheepish grin.
"why hey there, garage door repairman! how's it going out there?" i ask.
"sorry i didn't hear you knocking. i was busy sorting laundry in the laundry room right here. gotta make sure those whites and reds get separated, you know! no one wants a bunch of pink clothes!"
"great," the repairman replies. "um. listen. that coffee today is really going through me. ok if i use your bathroom?"
"oh. um. yeah, ok," i say. "there's a bathroom right here in the laundry room."
"great!" cheers the man, diving past me with the goal of bidding his coffee a fond farewell.
"yeah. great," i mutter quietly as the laundry room door shuts next to me.
"i'd appreciate it if you'd disregard the countless pairs of panties on the floor. especially the kicky buttery yellow pair. i was sorting laundry, you know."
sigh.
yep.

OH NO! You better put those panties on notice--they really like workmen! ;)
Did you scour the bathroom after he left--that's what I would have done--three or four times and took a wipe to every surface he may have touched. Funny-- you would think I'm a germ-a-phobe. :D
I thought you learned your lesson the last time. When will you learn? DON'T DO LAUNDRY WHEN YOU HAVE REPAIRS TO BE DONE!!
But hey I'm sure the repairmen aren't complaining. ;-)
CH
thats why you should keep an empty gallon jug around....
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Um, how 'accidental' is all this panty-stuff, really now? Hmmmm?
Just askin'. . .
So the lesson is that if I show up at your house I will probably see panties. maybe you should just give n and start decorating your walls with them.
Roflaughing! the repairman and underwear strike again, never a dull moment.
S.R.
Your panties really get around.
nanette - my second thought, after the floor o' panties, was "thank goodness i cleaned bathrooms this weekend!" my third thought was "dang! now i'm going to have to clean them again!" seriously, the convenience store is right across the corner and they left 3 minutes later. hold it, bubs!
confused - so this weekend, flipping channels, i land right on that episode of "that 70s show" as the panties were falling out of the closet and from the ceiling. i believe there is probably a phone tree amongst the repairmen of my area, debating who gets to show up here next.
savage - um...then i'd have to be the gross one tossing them at interstate entrance ramps and such. eesh...
desmond - it's like a train wreck here, apparently. honestly...i swear i was doing laundry. i've never had a repairperson want to use my bathroom before!!
finished - decorating with panties seems to lessen what i can actually wear. contrary to what it would seem, i do wear the things!
summer - my house is a sitcom that will never be picked up by any self-respecting network!
ftn - heh...my panties are crack whores...
putting panties on display, hmmm?
i s'pose you're one of those with the thongs showing above the pantline?? ;-)
april - girl, i can't rock a thong like some people can, apparently! did you catch me bowing to you with that remark?!
I'm thinkin' maybe you're lookin' to flash those panties around a bit. Besides, that's where my husband says panties look best... on the floor! : ) (I'm not sure he'd think that way if it was the repairman viewing them on the floor, however...)
ah, I doubt the repair man mind. And they likely have seen worse. My husband used to work in a service type job and he has stories of times when he showed up and the chick in the house was barely dressed. So at least your panties where on the floor, not your only cover up of the moment. LOL.
Rofl. I'm thinking you need a book from Home Depot. Repairs 101. Then you can do it all yourself and never have to pick up the laundry again! That's what I'd do.
Stacie
taja - maybe, just maybe, i've got myself a little problem! but truly, i just wanted my laundry done! ha!
princess - cue the cheesy bass line and bad dialogue. it's movie time!
stacie - i'd truly be dangerous had i the home improvement skills necessary to take care of myself. heh!
Heh, those repair men have quite the day job to say the least.
nocturnal - i'm sure they're always hiring, should you be interested. if so, clue me in. there's always something wrong here!
Ummmm... "buttery yellow."? There's medication for that, you know. Don't hate... just sayin.
:D
Sorry, couldn't help it -- my inner smart-ass was itching (*snicker*) to come out and play.
flutterby - my doctor recommends i drink more water and schedule my daily tasks a bit better in light of all the repairs taking place around here!
