Okay, those of you who follow my wardrobe disasters no doubt remember the incident last year where, in a mad rush to get to work on time, I slipped on my wife's maternity pants by mistake. Well I was running late today and I slipped on what I thought were my new khakis that I got over Christmas. I'm trying to upgrade my image and all at work so I have been wearing my new clothes and I changed my looks a little bit. Well, I was sitting in a meeting and I crossed my legs and to my horror, there they were. The twins. They weren't fully out and thank God I didn't go commando but peeking out of the hole in my pants a portion of my...um scroatal area. I quickly shifted and threw a notebook on my lap and somehow got through the rest of the meeting. I quickly hoofed it to my office and had to decide my next move. You see, the pants I got over Christmas look exactly like a pair I split a couple of months ago. Those pants were supposed to be way out of rotation but somehow they crept back in, bearing their menacing crotchless teeth.

Fortunately, it was lunchtime so I just went out and bought a pair of pants and a downtown grimy jeans establishment. They had a choice between $48.50 Dockers and $19.50 Dickies so I of course purchased the Dickies. I just got back to my office and have made the pants switch and hopefully no one will notice. But damn these are the most uncomfortable pants I have ever worn. I should have shelled out and bought the damn Dockers.

Anyway, does anyone else have this much trouble with their pants?

no. but yours makes for some very entertaining reading. have you thought of blogging this topic?

i can't jelp wondering - and pardon me for taking such an interst - but is the room where you dress in the morning well-lit? or maybe sort of dark?

When I'm down to crunch time I just don't take the time to look. I am really going to have to start laying stuff out the night before. Or at least doing a quick crotch check.

hell yeah i love mine to death

IAintTheOne said:

I think I should have tried them on. They just seem rigid to me, like really starched pants. But I'll get used to them and probably grow to love them since they saved my ass.

GottaLetitgo's "I Can't Dress Myself" Blog...I like it!

so...you're in the negative budget wise today?

GottaLetitgo said:

Not as much as you

But the other day,after I got home from shopping I found I had a hole in my new slacks. Right on the butt crack. I had on a long sweater so I think it was covered.
But I wonder if people were staring my butt or the hole in my slacks

I didn't anticipate having to buy pants...usually I can get through the day with the ones I have on.

What's the over/under on that happening to one of my pants by March?

I'm now having this surreal image of Robin saying "Holey khaki's, Batman!"

Maybe you should keep some extra pants in your car

ThreadCula said:

in case of pants emergency, pop glove compartment

ThreadCula said:

Good idea.

I was actually contemplating getting all McGyver and trying to reconstruct the pants somehow. I thought about maybe stapling the crotch or using a safety pin and realized that in a worse case scenario that could do much more harm than good.

GottaLetitgo said:

pics please

XxAxX said:

LMAO!!! Imagine he has to sit through a meeting acting like a safety pin isnt poking his balls

XxAxX said:

I mean I'm serious...why doesn't this crap ever happen to my shirts?

Dickies ROCK


and, why did you still have the ripped pants?

jerseykrs said:

I'm starting to dig them now. I have broken them in.

I thought my mother-in-law, who is good at alterations, could fix them but my lazy ass never got around to it.

GottaLetitgo said:

okay, I thought you maybe just kept em around for kicks.

yeah, wash those fuckers a little and you'll love em, they can live through a sand blasting!

The cool thing is, just like with the lady pants, I pulled it off. No one noticed and thankfully no one saw Gladys Knight or the Pips when they made their brief appearance at the meeting. I actually got a compliment from one of my co-workers about how well I've been dressed the last couple of days and I did not detect a smirk.

GottaLetitgo said:

perhaps you will start a new fashion trend

XxAxX said:

Crotchless pants? The world is not ready.

GottaLetitgo said:

i was thinking a sort of peek-a-boo clothing line

omg.

I love your pants stories.
