Let me also say that the Tide pen isn't working. I look worse than Brett Rogers will on Saturday. What should I use? White out?
-
cough cough..,..sick day.....
Or just wear it with honor!
-
just walk around topless the rest of the day
-
I usually just dab a drop of dish soap onto the area, then rinse it out with water. If you have a hair drier, then you don't have to walk around with a wetspot on your clothes for the next hour.
The salt or club soda tricks never worked for me.
-
Try eating more slowly and chewing your food. Seriously, it is easy to eat streetmeat or anything else without wearing it.
-
The hot sauce containers from 53rd halal splatter when you open them.
-
Can you take a pic and post it??? I want to see!
-
@stevenp- he is probably a mouth-breather too. some people are hopeless.
-
All great suggestions. Thanks, guys. However, I've decided to wear it with honor as per Goats suggestion. I even tried the powdered cream in the coffee room on a test spot. There was FAIL there, too.
I don't really know how to post a pic but the grease stains are starting near the tie knot and all the way down past my chest pocket in a neat line. There are some grease accents near the top of the pleats of my pants as well. No doubt garnering looks and snickers from colleagues and superiors. But hey, that's sometimes the price you have to pay for eating meat from the street. I just happen to be that type of guy who naturally attracts stains no matter what :/ But that's a willing sacrifice I like to make for the food I want. It's my burden. It's my curse.

Hey, I've got some burn holes in my shirt--literally...and I don't even think about it! LOL
-
@ Goats - Are they from the hot dog grilling machine from Rudy's? If so, you just might be my new bar hero.
-
NO---I think someone, maybe myself, ashed on me when I was drunk...LOL
-
Adam is right, MGHU, dish soap, but it won't get it out until next time you wash it. Pre-treat with dishsoap, then wash. I don't know about ties, though, because I don't own a tie and have never washed a tie.
-
Great! Thanks, Sarah.
@ Goats - Well, at least you don't remember the pain. I hate getting ashed on. That's why I switched to a pipe.
-
mghu: vaporizer for me. ;^)
-
NICE Stevenp! Volcano?
-
Also, if you pick up the container and hold it closer to your mouth, that annoying little plastic fork that can't hold a bite and be stable will be less likely to drop it on your $120 shirt and $160 slacks.
-
Think about how horrible you look and start crying. Then you can say you're just gathering the tears because they're a great solvent. It'll show your sensitive but practical side!
Did the comments system not fall back? I'm seeing the last comment at 1:21, but it's 12:56 here...

Goats--iolite. Catalyzed butane, pocketable, too sweet.
-
Holy crap stevenp! Thank god the holidays and my bday are right around the corner!!! i want one!
-
Yes, yes you do. Great accessory for a large drink cup.
-
Just updated my bday/holiday wish list with the ionizer and sent it to everyone I know!
-
holy shit, how does that happen to people?
i am a very messy eater and i've only gotten street meat on my clothes when attempting to eat on a bench or ledge. I can't imagine making a mess eating at my desk or a table.
-
bltz described the situation accurately. Those stupid plastic forks can't hold a bite properly and I don't know why! It's like they WANT me to get white sauce on my brand new dress...

*********Every girl's worst prom nightmare. :(
-
Actually, I think that would be "The straps of my custom-fit dress broke, and my friend threw up on me" - which happened at my prom to my friend, who shared a limo with me.
It might be a close tie with the girl who found out 3 weeks later she was pregnant though (she was not in my limo, though).
So I figure this place would be the best source to ask this since I am sure some experienced street meat eaters would surely have the answer. So I am about to eat my street meat with all the ready precautions at my desk. Tarp-like layer of napkins? Check. Napkin bib? Check. Tucked tie in shirt? Check. BIG pile of napkins at the ready? Check. So I dive right in. I am trying to be careful and thoroughly enjoying my meal. And then, stuff happens. Smelly greasy stuff that makes street meat so f'ing good. And it's on all the places where my napkin bib is not. What's worse is that I am without the emergency office shirt or a suit jacket which I would undoubtedly use to hide my plebeian culinary shame. So with the office supplies and kitchen resources, how can I get rid of these stains?
