But Sir, Where Are Your Pants
Yesterday, I took a day off of work and went on a short trip to Lexington, Excuse me for not telling anyone. I found out where I would be going to take my GRE. It is located in the corner of a strip mall. I would have thought it would be somewhat larger. I saw more turkeys than I could shake a stick at. Literally, I would have needed a stick to chase them all off. One field had over three dozen! That is too many turkeys, even fo this time of year. I also did a little shopping. I found a few shirts, but what I really looking for was some pants. For some reason, I keep having problems with my trousers, and they need more updating than I would like. While I did find some I liked, they all had a problem. Their stretchy waists made it so that they wouldn't fit. Now, by some miracle, I have managed to keep a 34 waist, possibly a little less, with diet and exercise. The picture shows that while I am no cover model, I am not that bad either.
So, I tried on a pair that were on sale. While the tag said they were the right size, the stretch made them just a little to loose. Even with a belt, it would have been uncomfortable wearing them, due to other features that I really didn't like. I went to another store and found some other pants on sale. These were actually in a better color and with a better discount. However, the first pair I tried on were way too big. I couldn't wear them even with a belt. These weren't supposed to have as much give, but they did. I even tried a smaller size, a 32. These were still too loose. I could take them off without unbuttoning them! I might have been able to wear them with a belt, but it was still too much. I couldn't try anything else on, as I was too despondent. There are a few brands I like, but this was the first time I ever encountered not being able to wear anything that I found. Why two pants have to be so stretchy nowadays. Are other men so not wanting to admit that they are a larger size that they are getting a smaller size? I would rather get something correctly labeled that fit than getting something "labeled" as my size that wasn't and didn't suit me. Although, with Thanksgiving coming up . . .
