Default Not a good use for duct tape

My wife often complains when I come in the house and put my jacket on a
chair near the door. She thinks it should be hung in the closet or she
wants to waste money and buy a clothes tree.

I came up with a simple solution. I duct taped my jacket to the wall.
She was not impressed.

I bet you didn't use camouflage duct tape.

That would have made a difference! Thanks for the tip.

Gaffer's tape would have been better. You can remove it with no residue.

Heh. I have a coat tree and yet I still hang the coat on a chair if it
makes its way into the house. Mostly I keep it in my van. If it's on the
chair, I can grab it on my way out. If on a hanger or the coat tree, I'll
forget it. I should add hat I rarely wear coats or jackets but I will bring
one when it is cold outside.

Did you take it down from the wall with WD?

1. Good luck finding space in an entry closet if you are married.
2. I'll bet everyone who has ever had a clothes tree, had it fall over
because it was out of balance.
3. Before the divorce becomes finalized, drive nails in the wall for all
your coats, hats, and gloves. :-)

CAUTION NOTICE! Please take your coats, hats and
gloves off before driving the nails through.

That tape won't pull the paint off the wall either. ^_^
