Why not wire hangers?

Surely because with time the metal corrodes (or does something which can be better described by someone who knows about Science) and a deposit forms that can be left on the clothing hanging thereon.

It’s happened to me. I’m an all heavy-duty plastic boy now.

NO WIRE HANGERS!!! whack, whack  
NO WIRE HANGERS!!! whack, whack  
NO WIRE HANGERS!!! whack, whack  
(reverse, repeat)
