just curious how other people would handle this, seeing as how I am an unapologetic slob. So a pen snuck into my dryer, and as a result about half of my business clothes have a few well set in blue ink spots, maybe 2-20 per article, 1/4 inch diameter max.I will try various alchemy to remove it, but experience tells me, they will remain noticeably spotted forever. As a slob my reaction is to not really give a shit. I only wear the damn things because the corporate rules make me, I would be much happier in T-shirt and shorts like any normal person,So after failing to remove the spots I will just continue to wear them. Most of many shirts tend to dark blue, so the effect is lessened, but the lighter shirts and pants(all my work pants are tan) are clearly stained. There is a less than 1% chance anybody at work will ever say a thing, Since I work in IT, and damn good at my job, and have established the slob thing already. How many people are in the don’t give a shit camp with me, and how many would abandon hundreds of dollars of work clothes? All of them must go? Only the worst? Anything more than a shade or two off shirt color? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/normal-people-reaction-to-ink-on-clothes/642399)._
