A dining-room table set, my tailor & smokey smelling pants ... - GoFuckYourself.com

J$tyle$ · 01-03-2006, 01:31 AM

So, I'm off to meet my wife to go look at a new dining room set and my phone rings as I walk out the door. It's my wife, and she asks me if everything is ok. I said fine, just jumpimg in the car and heading over to meet her. She said that she saw some fire trucks and an ambulance going by - heading in the direction of our house ... and just had an odd feeling. We both laughed and I started driving to meet her.

A couple miles from my house I see that traffic is moving slowly and off in the distance I see the fire trucks. At first I don't think much of it. Then, as I start moving closer - I realize the they're in the same parking lot as my tailor. Hmmmm, I say to myself - I hope my tailor didn't burn down - he and his wife were super nice people and (of course) I just dropped off 4 pairs of jeans the other day to get hemmed for Vegas.

As I get closer, I still can't see WTF happened because 3 fire trucks are parked parallel to the stores - but I DO SEE SMOKE! As I pass the final truck, I see some charred blackness on the building and the firemen with their hoses spraying under the overhang about 4 stores away from my tailor ... but can't see his store.

Long story short - after getting the dining-room set ... I head back over to the tailor and park my car. I see him pacing back and forth. He recognizes me, smiles, walks over and we chat for a few moments. He and his wife are fine. There was an electrical fire a couple stores down from him. "Everything is "smokey smokey" in store" (his words) but I should come back in a while and he'll check on my pants when they let him go back inside.

So, I go grub on some sushi and come back about a half hour later. I walk into his store thinking I'm just going to pick up my jeans and try to find another place to do a rush job because he'll be closed for a few days - turns out ... my pants were ready 2 days early! Smokey smelling but ready!

Of course I'm glad I got my jeans for Vegas but DAMN - in the scope of life, that's NOTHING ... I really feel bad for this guy and his wife. What a fucked up way for them to start off the new year!

Luckily, they just have to clean up, nobody was hurt and nothing was burned though.

Just another example that life HAPPENS! Be thankful for what you have ... it can all be taken away in a blink of an eye!

I feel bad for little companies like his when something happens. He will take a loss by having the clothes smell bad.

Hope you gave him a tip for being done early!

No losses over the deductible will most likely be covered by some type of insurance coverage.

J$,

That always sucks when someone's business is affected by things out of there control. Glad they are safe and with a bit of cleanup they will be back soon enough.

My thoughts exactly. And the is only a tailor, not a dry cleaner - so I'm sure people will be pissed although it's no fault of his own.

Tip yes - and all my tailoring business from now on. He has a loyal customer for as long as i live in the area!
