It was the longest day of my life. Repeating it would only add to the trauma that was already incurred. Being relieved to finally have returned home, lumbered inside, and went directly to my bedroom.
Undressing, all my clothes landed haphazardly around the room and went right to bed. My eyes closed
and as I began to relax, I heard it. Like a dripping faucet in the dead of night, my clothes hangers were crying.
I must have repressed the noise at first but as I lay there I could no longer deny it. However I could regret buying the device that guaranteed to keep your bedroom neat and tidy and your clothes wrinkle free.
Waa, waa, waa they continued to cry - and would continue to cry until some kind of weight was hung onto them - or smashed into pieces, I mused. Stubbornly I climbed out of bed and hung up my clothes neatly, and the sounds subsided.
The next morning I awoke to my clean bedroom and a nice wrinkle free wardrobe selection. I made my choices from the hangers, which would go off again at a preset time later that day.
It was the best date of my life. We lumbered inside, and went directly to my bedroom...

Usefulness would outweigh the irritation factor only if you don't have more hangars than clothes. Then you can't shut them up no matter what you do. Maybe a timer on them, so they only cry at night, when you don't plan on wearing the clothes, would be a good idea so they don't keep going all day when you're at work and burning up the batteries. |

Bun just for the image (and because I enjoyed the writing). Personally I suspect I would get more satisfaction from taking them out of the wardrobe and jumping on them, but bun nevertheless. |

I can imagine the confused looks as [rcarty] grabs all those empty hangers and move them to a different room then comes back and explains to his(her?) date "I can't stand their crying".
Also would be neat for a practical joke. Bun. |

and bun because I should have some of these. |

Heh, I like this. A vision of hanging them off of a big plastic breast nipple comes to mind, just to shut them up. [+] |
