"Have you found everything you were looking for sir?"
No! Cause you don't blood have any.

And stop placing people at the entrance just to say "Hello. How are you today?"
You're interrupting my train of thought, you're asking for a meaningless response since we do not know or care about each other, and you are no help to me whatsoever in doing this.

And stop asking me for charity money at the checkout! I'm here to shop! Not hand charity money to stores.

But they haven't.

They've sewn in the brand label up there, but they've shown in the care label, not at the bottom of the seam like most people do with dresses, but right in the middle.

Again, dick biscuits.

Pet Peeve

Was at Kohls about 2 months back, and all the men's jeans had narrow legs. I don't remember all jeans being like this many years ago.

They all seem to have developed smaller waists since I was a teenager, too.....

I think most women's jeans have the opposite problem. The legs were designed to fit thunder thighs and they are the same width from top to bottom.

Mt thighs and legs haven't changed since couple of years back. I think the reason is the trend for skinny jeans among young men.

All "modern fit" clothes are for super skinny people, which is ironic considering how much fatter people are these days.

I am slender so I fit into them but I don't like the skinny jeans style, I like relaxed fit .

I am no longer skinny like I was when I was a teenager, but I like my jeans cut with a straight leg. I don't like extra material flapping around my legs and I hate the "baggy ärsë" look.

seems like the trend in style of jeans has gone full cycle. we are back to skinny jeans, or drainpipes as we used to call them in the 80s. Just before the trend moved onto the baggy jeans with patches sewed onto them, bear jeans i think they were called.

Where did the ripped "distressed" jeans go? .... At the time they were fashionable in the mid 80's I had several pairs of jeans with holes burned through them by acid, mostly around the knees. The holes weren't a fashion statement, I got acid on them at work. :rolleyes:

Knees ok?

I once got wet concrete inside my gloves, years ago, when I was doing my foundation of my first house. Stuff nearly burned me to the bone. Caustic.

Yeah, my knees were fine. The acid was from the salt on the fork lift and pallet truck batteries' terminals.
