coathanger iss-ews
i have got mostly wooden hangers in my cupboard. now, i know i have said so before, but they all face the same way, ie with hooks facing backwards. but that's neither here nor there.
i need help. can anyone suggest an easy yet effective way to stop things sliding off the fuckers?
i reckon if we could come up with something, it would save the sanity of people worldwide. i am sure i'm not the only one who swears at the cunting things when my bits and pieces fall off them.
and then if we could be bothered we could manufacture these things, whatever they would be called, stop-slips, market them and make a fortune.
if we could be bothered is the operative phrase here.
but seriously now. does anyone have an idea?
and don't talk to me about those strips of ribbon or cord that you can find inside the shoulders of certain chick clothes. i know you are meant to wind them around the top of the hanger to keep the item on. but i cut them off cause they are so damn annoying.

I have a few ideas on this, yes. But I'm not going to type them up here for anyone to see and have them stolen by some disgusting little idea-stealing pervert.
(Sorry, Cotton.)
I could give you a hint, but I'm not going to.
:)
Which way is "pointing to the back", anyway? Does that mean you can lift them straight off the rack, or do you have to bring them down before you can pull them towards you?
What I mean is, what is it that's facing the back? The 'end' (or 'tip') of the hook, or the 'back' (or 'arch') of the semi-circle part of the hook?
This is important.
And what about the coathangers with the built-in hooks/catches on the ends of the 'arms'? They're no good to you?
I twist an elastic band around the ends (arms) of the hangers from which things tend to slide. The wide red boys, I'm sure you know what I mean.
Take care tho' - they do perish over a few years and you don’t want those slimy perished rubber stains on your nice frock. Change them when you change the batteries in your vibrator / smoke alarm, whichever is the least regular.
And why do they always fall off when you're in some fancy dress shop looking at the clothes on the racks and the snooty assistant looks at you like you crawled out of the bottom of the earth with no idea of what an item of clothing even is?
hello and welcome unique_stephen. i'm not sure i should engage in chat with you as you mention a vibator on your first visit. however, i've decided i'll give you a chance because you have a very cute child and you gave me a link to a very cute rubber band.
thanks for your tip. the prob is i don't want lacky bands on the end of my nice wooden coathangers.
and bevis if you're idea was same as unique's, then suffer in your jocks.
and sublime, you are not the only one who suffers the social blight of clothing-slide-off-hangers-in-stores-in-front-of-snooty-staff. awful isn't it?
oh and bevis, i didn't answer your question. pointing to the back means that the arc of the wire faces the rear of the cupboard, and because my wooden hangers are a bit curved, i align them all with concave to the left.
happy?
oh and john says my ocd has improved, as i no longer insist on the volume level on the tv being on an even number but i think that's just because he always has the remote. the sacrifices and adjustments i have had to make!!! you wouldn't believe.
