Damn Cleaners

FORT WALTON BEACH — A 63-year-old man was arrested July 13 on charges of battery.

On June 29, the man went into Aunt Susan's Laundry on Hollywood Boulevard and asked the woman working if he could show her some stains on his clothing and the woman agreed, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's report.

The man also asked for Shout Triple-Acting stain remover to spray on his clothes. The woman handed him the bottle, which had only a small amount of remover left.

The man became angry and yelled at the woman, "How are you going to get the (expletive) stain out? You guys didn't get it out last time!"

The woman said her manager could bring in another bottle of stain remover, but the man continued to yell obscenities and curse at the woman.

The man also picked up the stain remover bottle and threw it at the woman hitting her in the leg causing the liquid to spill onto the floor.

The man was later contacted by phone. He told deputies he was on his way out of town.

When the deputy requested the man return or he would get an arrest warrant the man stated, "Do your warrant then!"

Well that was silly. How is Auntie Susan going to get the stain out if you spilled the Shout!? You can't get mad. Shout is the number one stain remover! I'm sure that even though the bottle didn't have much liquid left that there was another bottle or two in the back. And "shout it out" is just their slogan in case you were confused. You aren't supposed to throw the bottle and yell, doesn't work that way.

You should probably learn to pick your battles. Yes dry cleaners are annoying, don't get stains out, and break the buttons on shirts a lot but maybe don't get arrested for a stain. Just a thought.
