Ha-Ha!
I don't mean to laugh at you, it's just that I'm a little giddy that it happened to someone else for a change.
As for the $115, my advice is to dress like a slob in the future; that's my strategy.
Ok, now that I've purged my cruel inclinations, sorry to hear that you had a problem, etc, etc, etc.

The toner actually comes off pretty easily, just a few little patches on the pants, and I'm not worried about them.
The funnier thing is that those who saw the 'glory annointment' thought I went home and changed...I'm wearing brunt orange slacks today. It was questionable that I bought one pair this color--who on earth has 2 pair? :D

In most of the places I have ever worked, NO ONE was seemngly capable of changing the toner... except me.
After ruining several white and off white blouses, I began the practise of only wearing black or navy blue to work and keeping several pair of stockings in my file drawer.
While this insured that I would not have to attend meetings all day LOOKING like I had just run afoul of the toner monster, it didn't entirely vanquish the beast.
I was thrilled when I was issued a personal printer along with my computer. Changing the cartridge was ever so much easier than wrestling with toner.
Much to my chagrin, no one else ever learned to replace the toner although it frequently required replacing. When my contract ended, I remarked to my partner who was staying on for another month that all printing would cease within the week. He was amused to note that one MFD went out of order for most of two weeks. When he asked the support guy what was wrong, he was told, "toner was out". Tech Support wasn't responsible for toner so the guy didn't replace it.

Just because someone had a WORST day, doesn't make yours any less bad! :p
Although it is nice to see someone worse off than yourself sometimes! :D

Although..being the NICE person that I am, I hate to see anyone having a bad day.
Really. It's true. I'm actually very timid and introverted. But when I'm forced to actually deal with other humans, I am friendly. I'm only 'this' way here.
I'm just imagining how hard my husband and boss would laugh if they ever read this post.. :)

and juggled it for a moment before the whole thing dumped in my lap. I was wearing light colored clothes, of course. I nearly ALWAYS wear black..but on that day? Nope.
It's a joke in my office for someone to spill something on their shirt then to refer to themself as me. Even my mother, just TODAY, called to tell me that for the past few days, she's been spilling things on her shirt. She said she figures my issue with 'spillage' must be hereditary and that her problem is just now blooming. I just said, "yeah? Well, you're old." and hung up. :)

I was wearing one when I went to refill an inkjet cartridge. Somehow I managed to squirt bright YELLOW ink all over the right side of my shirt up to the shoulder!
Which brings me to this question: How many people have co-workers that would alert them when they're wearing something with a stain or a hole?
(I accidentally wore the yellow-stained shirt about 2 weeks later- [i] I don't turn the light on cuz my husband's asleep[/i]- why it was hanging in my closet I have no clue!!) But no one said a word to me. I discovered it when I went to the bathroom. AAGH!

I got home from work one day last summer to discover that I had an open seam on the side of my dress. Nice and visible but not to me until the end of the day.
I wore a cardigan every day after that...
