Willing to trade: two
adult male eyeteeth for a
pants hanger that works.

Anne H. said...: I've noticed that the simple, inexpensive plastic pants hangers that work have DISAPPEARED from the stores. It's very, very annoying. Paige's suggestions don't begin to cut it. The hangers I refer to have been replaced by clunky, too-thick and more expensive wooden ones with a plastic folding mechanism that SUCKS. It comes apart easily but doesn't go back together easily. I don't know what happened but it's the pits.; November 30, 2010 at 9:52 PM

Apparently you can get pants hangers that fall apart in plastic too.
This is more like the old mechanism that just works, but not exactly the same, plus you have to buy them in cedar at 3/$20:

I think we feel each other's pain.; November 30, 2010 at 9:59 PM

"It’s onerous to find educated folks on this topic, however you sound like you realize what you’re talking about! Thanks"

Glad this bot realizes that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to pants hangers.; March 20, 2011 at 4:55 AM
