...to think that shops should start charging for coathangers (like plastic bags)?

Every time I buy clothes (for me or DC) I mean to tell them to remove the coathangers before they give me the clothes... But a lot of the time I forget (blame the 4 month sleep regression). I get home, unpack and find myself staring at coathangers from things such as pyjamas, underwear etc and wondering what the hell to do with them. They can't be recycled in our area and I have no use for a weird shaped coathanger that once housed a bra. I hate to send loads of plastic to landfill after a short lifespan.

So, yeah, AIBU to think they shouldn't give you them...and perhaps charge you 5p (or whatever) if you do want them?

If people dont want them it really isn't hard go say No thank you when they are offered.

I always say no thank you, I've got satin hangers at home so don't need them

H & M whose hangers I particularly like for hanging up vest tops have actually stopped giving them out now.
