Please Return My Husband’s Pants to the Forwarding Address

Attention Bargain Shoppers:

The next time you are at an unclaimed baggage store, if you see a lavender Joseph & Feiss button down men’s dress shirt that looks very masculine despite the color and a white Uomo Pronto button down dress shirt covered with fine blue and red stripes and a taupe pair of Givenchy pants with a small vinaigrette stain on the bottom left leg, please purchase them and return them to me. These items as well as the rest of my husband’s clothes, toiletries and laptop accessories were not abandoned and unclaimed as the title of the store suggests.

Would anyone take the time to pack luggage, lug it through the airport, and cope with unfriendly baggage handlers to only abandon their belongings in favor of going to their 8 a.m. business meeting naked? Unclaimed baggage is just another phrase for lost and incorrectly routed suitcases that were never tracked by down apathetic, disengaged union airline workers who don’t have the desire or ambition to execute their job well because they get a paycheck regardless of their actual work performance. Of course, if you tell airline workers that they suck at their jobs, you could be arrested by the Homeland Security Office. Good to see the United States Government protects the tired, the lazy, and the generally apathetic who do not make eye-contact or offer a modicum of customer service.

Is a little bit of compassion too much to expect when you lose your pants?

Please contact me if you find my husband’s pants.

Sincerely,

Garbageman’s Daughter
