... apparently I am in the minority here.
I believe it shows an unnecessary reverence towards an article of clothing undeserving of such rarified treatment. I fold them up and toss them in a drawer. Silly me.

Hangers are for jackets, suits, dress shirts (anything with a collar), and pants that mustn't be wrinkled (primarily dress slacks). There are also special hangers for ties.
That is all. No t-shirts, no sweaters, no underwear.
I use one ordinary hanger for all my ties. I bought my Dad an electric tie-rack for Christmas one year because he'd gotten enough ties in Christmases past to require it, so it was a gift he needed that had a gizmo aspect.
But if you could dangle from a hanger... well, I'd respect the strength of the bars in your cupboards, if that was the case.
... the reason this whole discussion came up is that my ex-boy-toy S. had an entire closet filled to capacity with t-shirts on hangers (at least two hundred). We are talking about kitchy t-shirts that, while charming, should not be subject to such veneration (like his Thundercats tee). But then, S., anal retentive god that he was, took things to the next level by insisting on hanging every t-shirt inside out because otherwise the hangers will mar the way the t-shirt sat on his shoulders. I have little doubt that he ironed them as well.

Nope. T-shirts get a drawer. Shirts with collars, aka things I actually need to iron occasionally... now they get hangers.
But then, even that folding isn't something that necessarily happens.

So I'll merely ask - what, for you, goes on hangers?
