Third Time Unlucky
Well, this is the third time its happened and this time it pisses me off more than the first two.
I came to work to see another girl wearing a top that I recently bought. A top that I thought about for days, called OOTG to come buy with me (she didn't), and then got and stared at for hours. It's nothing too special, but cute and more interesting than a plain t-shirt.
Then, horrors, I came into work and the funky-french-girl is wearing it. Same colour even. DAMMIT. I have worn it to work before, but I guess she worked from home that day because my rule is : whoever wears it first, has the rights to the shirt in my books. How can I come into work now, having seen her in it already? And hope she isn't wearing it that day? And pretend I didn't see her already?
I now have 3 shirts on the no-wear list (2 are t-shirts that I might be able to get away with) but c'mon! I don't have THAT much to choose from.
Lesson #1 : wear shirt IMMEDATELY after purchase to work to establish first-worn rule
Lesson #2 : never never buy anything from a generic corporate branch of a clothing store anyone can go to unless it is a plain black or white t-shirt no one will care about.
Hmpf!

good lessons for everyone to remember. thanks for sharing this story.... it is sad, a little.
have you considered not caring, ie: wearing the shirt cause you like it and it's yours and screw her anyway!! ??
...or has this particular girl turned you off the shirt? it's a shame, really.
Did you try the old exploding pen trick? Or tripping while carrying coffee or some other very stainable beverage. This works two fold. Firstly you ruin her shirt, ensuring she will never wear it on the same day as you and secondly, when you apologize as you help her clean it up you casually say something like, "Oh, i'm so sorry, hey wait, I think I have that very same shirt, yes, and you know what, I spilled the exact same thing on it, it will come right out" Then you actually have liberty to wear the shirt the very next day to show her how clean it is!!!
someone just sent me this joke. Thought is was appropriate to post with this blog entry. Made me laugh.
The Dress
Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her
excitement - not even her parents' nasty divorce. Her mother had
found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best-dressed
mother-of-the-bride ever!
A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new young
wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother's! Jennifer asked
the new wife to exchange it, but she refused. "Absolutely not. I look
like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied.
Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind, sweetheart.
I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day." A few days
later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress.
When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "aren't you
going to return the other dress? You really don't have another
occasion where you could wear it."
Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do, dear. I'm
wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding!"
hahha that is cute.
RE : Ms M's comment, Yes I would wear it anyway, only I fear we'd show up on the same day wearing it. That would SUCK. It's really distinct and would be like wearing the same ball gown as someone else.
Exploding pens just might work though....
love the joke. divorce humour. Ha!!
