When your wife tells you to hang up your t-shirts, the directive is clear. When Guinness asks you to do it, make sure you follow all 17 rules. For both, it’s imperative that you do it as quickly as possible.

I’ve had this record on my radar for years but the long list of 17 rules is rather daunting. The first thing I needed to consider was how small the opening was allowed to be. I got out a bunch of my t-shirts and the necks were all way too wide. My wife’s shirts were much better candidates. Then the hangers I use for my t-shirts were then not wide enough! Talk about fitting a large hanger through a small opening.

As the current record holder for the fastest time to put on 10 t-shirts, I decided it was time to learn how to put them away. It turns out it’s a lot slower to clean up a mess than to make it.

At the end of the day, I was able to follow those 2 plus the other 15 rules to take down the current record of 27.93 seconds with a run of 16.78 seconds.
