Too Basic
December 18, 2007 2 Comments
Jennifer has been purging our closets lately trying to thin things out. We have gotten rid of baby clothes, maternity clothes, t-shirts, shoes, and things we don’t wear anymore. She has been either donating the stuff to the CARE Ministry or selling them at a consignment shop.
Well, I put together a box of button-down shirts and polos from my closet and took them over to sell. Probably 10 shirts in all. I dropped them off at the counter and the attendent said it take about 45 mintues to look them over and determine the resale value. Then I could come back and collect my money. So we left, did some shopping, had some Starbucks, and came back.
When I came in, they put the whole box of clothes right back in front of me. I asked the worker, “Were these no good to sell?” The girl’s response was hilarious.
“Sir, your clothes are too basic. We can’t use them.”
A used clothing shop that specializing in reselling USED clothing told me that my USED clothes were TOO BASIC! How funny is that.

How many articles of clothing in the box were things that you had taken out of my closet in college??
Now that was a funny story! That first comment was almost as funny. Thanks for the laugh.
