My Cleaning Woman Threw My $200 Tom Ford Silk Socks in the Wahing Machine!!!!!

*Washing machine, obviously.

Shoot yourself. Now. You don't deserve to live.

Hope you like reincarnation, Op

Like you will “fire” your mom..

Learn to wash your own panties OP.

During times like these,OP, I often wonder what I'd do under the same circumstances.

Call ICE and have her deported. Or take her passport and make her work for a year without payment.

Fire her.

Show her early 80s gay porn. She will learn more about proper sock care.

So glad this popped up because I gave a friend of mine shit for a similar reason.

Hiring a person to come and clean your home is going to result in breakage. You don't get to pick what they break by accident. You don't get to dock their pay when it happens. And in thsi case, you should be more responsible with dry clean only items like that because most people would never think not to wash a pair of socks. That's definitely on you.

Sorry to give an actual response so quickly while the top 20 datalounge crew will be cracking their awful jokes

I co-sign what r10 said.

You seem oddly desperate for attention, OP

I let a cleaning person go once for breaking my things around my house. I let it go the first time but drew my line when she broke an antique hakata doll that I asked her not to touch.

So, yeah, I get where you're coming from, Op.

Is she your cleaning woman or your maid?

Why don’t you have a Dry Clean Only bag? It sucks, especially when it’s irreplaceable, but they are your things and your responsibility when you invite someone to clean and wash things in your home. Not all cleaners are good at every aspect of cleaning, they also get interrupted, distracted and make human mistakes. Not to mention that some don’t own the same fabrics and don’t understand. Special things need special handling and that means setting rules and giving instructions beforehand. Their failure to meet those requirements after being educated is then a fireable offense either because they don’t get it or they don’t care.

So much dishonesty today, I mean ugh.

Where’s that -100/100 person.

OP types Hawaiian.

What R15 says. Its YOUR responsibility to protect your fancy things from the ignorance and carelessness of the hoi polloi.

Anyone - even a millionaire - who pays $200 for silk socks is an asshole who deserves whatever Voodoo curse this cleaning woman is about to place on them.

Mother always said money can't buy good taste or good sense. And she was right. God rest her zombie bones!

I am an island born man. This is what we say.

Silk Sox = No Sex.

$20 say OP got them at some Premium Outlets 90% off bin.

I wouldn't push it too far. Concepción might just hit ya with a POT!

I wish I had the.OP's problems.

^ Darfur?

If you use your $200 Tom Ford Silk Socks as a cum rag this is what you get OP.

Watch out OP, Rosario might put ground glass in tonight's martini.

Anyone who would pay $200 for a pair of socks deserves what they get.

R28 wears black sweat socks with his tuxedo. You wouldn't get past my doorman!

R29 Enough about your disgusting foot-fetishist doorman, already! This is what you get when you hire your help outside a prison!

No sympathy. I'm more of the Italian Cashmere Argyle kind of posh. Those can still be washed. I also never, never, ever made a maid or cleaner wash my socks or my other more "personal" items.

What sort of fool pays $200 for a pair of socks? OP you have more money than brains.

OP, if you can afford $200 socks you can afford a lady’s maid. Plebeian.

The real problem is I only have 2 more pair and you can't get them anymore. Where is the sympathy? WHERE?!!

Plebeian, Schlemiel, Schlemazzle, Hasenpfeffer Inc.!

OP: What was she supposed to do with them?

R6, I actually know someone who employed Ethel’s cleaning lady. She did a good job.

Hazel can do better.

Miss OP's actual footwear:

R24 OP doesn't have OP's problems

......

$200 for a pair of socks?

Try the Kirkland 8 pack of socks, OP. I buy these for Mitt and he loves them! And they're very affordable!

This gauche thread is giving me THE VAPORS!

Oh no, not the waaahhhing machine!

If you do decide to take action against her OP, don’t be surprised if a rock turns up under your bed.

I’m just back from picking up my ties from the dry cleaners R17.

OP is cheap and dresses poor.

Secretly giving "Maria " a high 5 and a gift card to Walmart !!!

Joan Crawford could've handled the socks.

OP, your heartbreaking and unprecedented story has inspired me to write a novel based on my life story. Yes my life story. It will be 300 pages at the minimum.

OP, if you’re poor enough to miss those socks, the last few years must have been rough.

Send me your stats and a few pics.

Im not poor enough to miss them -they are no longer available and I am down to my last 2 pair. With spring gala season approaching, I don't know if I'll want to be seen.

OP, please post the link to your sock replacement GoFundMe campaign.

TIA

Here you go R54. A steal at $190.

Did the sox come with a matching pair of Tom Ford panties?

Clothbase is not a store, R56. Are you a poor?

OP is common trash. Who would spend that amount of money on something so tacky?

Socks are tacky? Good to know!

First, OP, you're a fool for spending $200 on a pair of socks.

If you are going to have help, here are a few lessons I earned from my Mom: 1. Most important is to have honest and dependable people. 2. Don't expect too much. You want the place clean. It does not have to be spotless. 3. If you don't want something ruined in the wash, do not put it in the hamper with the rest of your dirty clothes. 4. If you really like the job the person does, pay a little extra. That way she/he will come back. 5. However, if your cleaning lady/gent goes to several people you know or are your neighbors, you don't want to price them out of her/his services. 6. DO NOT CRITICIZE!

Let it go. It's just STUFF

Wear your dark pantyhose. No one will be the wiser.

Next time hire someone who speaks English OP.

I dream of one day being able to wear a burlap sack. Is silk similar?

OP How did she get her hands on your socks? You didn't put them with the laundry, did you?

[quote] Sorry to give an actual response so quickly while the top 20 datalounge crew will be cracking their awful jokes

Apology NOT accepted, CUNT!

They were in the laundry room laying on their drying towel. I had already hand washed them.

R68 be careful with things rare and expensive and make sure you put them out of harm's way before the 'help' arrives

Socks to be you.

What actually happens when you throw $200 Tom Ford Silk Socks in the washing machine and then in the dryer? Can somebody please explain for the un-socked?

[quote]Sorry to give an actual response so quickly while the top 20 datalounge crew will be cracking their awful jokes

The jokes are awful, but I submit to you that such an obvious trollbait EST doesn't deserve either good jokes or serious answers.

^ the un-silk-socked, I mean

She couldn't handle the socks.

[quoe] My Cleaning Woman Threw My $200 Tom Ford Silk Socks in the Wahing Machine!!!!!

You should see what she did to your Tina Turner wall clock!

As fun as it might be to pile on, I’d be livid if a cleaning woman threw my $200 socks in the washing machine. She’s supposed to be a professional, and that requires paying attention to care instructions on clothing if washing is a part of your duties. OP actually hits on a general problem without a lot of occupations these days—people do a mediocre job, get paid as agreed, and then get offended when they’re called out for doing something wrong.

Ruining a pair of expensive socks might not be a fireable offense, but OP has a right to be pissed.

I spent £23 on cashmere socks once, and I thought THAT was spendy. You put me to shame, OP, but I still don't have any sympathy for you. Hide your valuables from the help, until you trust them with your life! Only then can they handle your precious sock collection.

[quote]I’d be livid if a cleaning woman threw my $200 socks in the washing machine. She’s supposed to be a professional, and that requires paying attention to care instructions on clothing if washing is a part of your duties.

Maybe I'm shopping in all the wrong places, but I have never seen a sock with care instructions.

OP You shouldn't buy $200 socks unless you can afford a whole drawer full of them. They're not the type of thing you should waste time agonizing over.

Only goes to prove that some people (OP) have more money then brains

We heard you the first time at R32, R80. But why actually read a thread when what you have to say is so insightful?

Were they cashmere, OP?

OOOOH--CASH-MERE!!!

[quote]Wahing Machine

Is there an "Oh, dear" on this already?

"have more money then brains"

Think before you type. Oh, dear!

I guess you couldn't make it all the way to R1, could you R83?

I am certainly not poor and I had no idea that people would spend $200 on socks that couldn't be washed, I wouldn't expect a cleaning woman to know this either. If you did then that is on you.

I wore silk socks back in the 80s. I thought I was so chic. Of course they went with my silk shirts and silk slacks. God I must have looked so very try hard ! I could see letting a cleaning woman wash sheets or towels,but I dont want anyone washing my clothing. Im very particular about that.

When I had a maid years ago, I did not let her operate my washer and dryer.

The night before she came, I washed and dried everything the proper way and dumped the laundry on the bed in another bedroom. She folded everything and put its away.

Look into doing this, OP. It'll save you both a lot of grief.

[quote] When I had a maid years ago, I did not let her operate my washer and dryer.

Nor did I let her use the indoor toilet.

R87 = elegance personified

I don’t let the housekeeper touch my clothing because I’m very particular about my things. She does the bedding and towels only. However, my partner’s mother visited us 15 years ago (when we first moved in together) and washed our entire dry clean only basket with warm or hot water. My $700 Dolce & Gabbana wool sweater shrunk to the size of a toddlers. She had the nerve to hang it in the closet, like nothing happened. Several other items were ruined, but they weren’t as expensive. I didn’t ask her to reimburse me, because it would’ve caused a lot of drama and partner said she would dislike me if she knew how much I spent on a sweater, lol. She broke our Dyson vacuum cleaner a year later (she gets bored when she sits at our house while we are working). We have now told her not to touch or clean anything. I would let your housekeeper know what happened, and make sure she doesn’t touch your clothing again. You can’t really make her reimburse you. It’s the cost of having help.

Dry clean only items should not be put in the hamper. And just where were you recently to wear those grotesque sockettes?

Are you a mob boss or Carson Kressley?

1. They weren't in the hamper, as already has been established.

2. Silk socks are worn with a tuxedo, but you already know that .

Silk sox are tacky as fuck. Gross.

You already know that.

OP, please strangle yourself with your silk stockings. But first have a slice of my shit pie.

I much prefer Silk Stalkings!

To be fair, OP only wears her silk stockings with her finest Moroccan silk caftan:

Hiring a cleaning person is so tacky / lazy unless you’re physically unable to do the job yourself. Take care of yourself gals it’s not somebody else’s job to do your washing ffs.

Such hypocrites! Always spouting about actions having consequences! But when I teach my cleaning woman that actions have consequences, I'm a monster!!

I'm giving someone a job, r98. That's a good thing.

In what world is having a cleaning lady tacky? Some of you are insane.

I'm wearing silk- and there's snow in the wind...

According to DL, anything they can't afford is tacky.

The only ones who can't clean up after themselves are toddlers and invalids. Which one are you?

The only ones who can't read a whole thread before posting are self absorbed dipshits. That is you.

Are you in high school?

Don't you DARE do anything punitive to her! WTF were you $200 socks doing in the wash? You should have laundered them yourself by hand if they're so fucking special. You know, If I had $200 to splurge with, the last thing on my mind would be $200 socks. Jesus fucking Christ.

Do NOT mess with the help. They will cut a bitch. And save your ass.

TL;DR

No you cannot dock her the cost. Did you ever tell her not to do that? Did you leave specific instructions how to wash your socks?

Seriously, what did you think you were hiring? A precious material specialist?

That’s what you get for paying her with a check OP.

OP, you've been told several times that calling them "socks" doesn't lessen the impact of what's really happening here.

With all your $$$ OP, i an sure you can find more outrageously priced sock on the internet. Next time wash them yourself.

R101 in 2022. That world. It’s tacky. Clean up after yourself.

My tuxedo and silky socks are washable. But I'm expensive.

Next time read threads before you feel the need to comment on them, R107. The fact that you don't makes you look slow.

Red costs extra. Please don't mix with colors.

He found him standing in the section marked if you have to ask you can't afford it lingerie!

[quote]I guess you couldn't make it all the way to [R1], could you [R83]?

Fails on not being a bitchy reply and an Oh, dear.

I don't now, R83.

It seems like the wahing machine pretty much sums up OP.

My washing machine is named "Sylvia".

That's funny, OP, the town bike is named Your Mom.

OP I I am embarrassed for you because you spent $200 on a pair of socks.

I am embarrassed for your parents because they are your parents.

Jealousy is an ugly thing, R122. And so are you in anything backless.
