Pants under butt

As a man in his 60's I can explain this. Once you hit about 50 your stomach becomes wider than your hips which makes it difficult to keep pants on even with a belt. If you've got both hands full and gravity starts winning the only option is to spread your legs to stop them going all the way down and shuffle awkwardly away.

That's what braces* are for, surely? Either that or drink less beer until the stomach gets back to the size of the hips.


* What Americans call "suspenders", much to the amusement of us Brits, for whom suspenders are what ladies use to keep up old-fashioned, non-hold-up stockings.

Oh sorry I see you've already done all this bit.

It bugs me. Not sure what the interest is in showing underwear, bra straps, etc, but it makes me roll my eyes.

On an attractive woman, it can be sexy to show just a hint of something that is not normally meant to be shown. There was a girl that used to come to tune our piano that had a bra that was obviously decorative and intended to "appear" just a tiny bit. I thought it was a splendid idea - certainly gave her some oomph for a fusty-seeming job like piano tuning, which was probably her intention.

There's no reason why a fit bloke can't do something similar, I suppose. But one needs to be in shape to carry it off, obviously.

I was at an imaging center this morning to get my foot x-rayed on my doctor's advice and prescription, as I might have a broken toe. So I filled out my forms and took a seat. I'm waiting my turn, and this guy comes in to hand something to the lady at the front desk. He's standing there talking with her for a bit, and I can't help noticing that his pants are hanging down -- not just a little bit, but totally under his butt.

His boxer shorts are sticking out, along with his butt, and I'm thinking to myself that this old white dude must be in his fifties at the very least. Kids doing this thing with the pants for some trendy kid reason wouldn't bother me, but an adult man should have some maturity and self-respect, right? In a medical facility, right? I mean, the guy had a belt on -- but what was the point the belt? His belt was under his butt along with the pants. o_O

I have to admit it was bothering me, and I didn't want to be a Larry David and be crazily obsessing over what is essentially a minor irritation. But every time I turned my eyes away to look at the television screen on the wall, the guy says something to the desk lady and I find myself glancing that way again. And seeing that butt. :eek:

When the guy finally left, I turned to my man (who's sitting next to me with his eyes determinedly fixed on the TV screen) and I say: "Did you see that? What was that about?" And my man (who instinctively knows what I'm talking about) just casually says: "Maybe he thinks he's got a great butt." And all I could say is: "He does not have a great butt."

Would this bother anyone else here?

It's a weird thing to me that if a woman, say, wears a sports bra in public, it's okay, but a normal bra, it's not. It covers similar parts of the body, so what's the fuss? I don't know...

I don't want that kind of competition in the living room...

I saw a cashier handle situation really well here. A young woman came in in a sports bra for a shirt, and the cashier yelled "I'm sorry, you'll have to leave. No shirt, no shoes, so service." The woman shouted back that it was her shirt, to which the cashier replied "Nu-uh. You see, you and me got the same thing on, but I have a shirt on over mine. If I take my shirt off, they're gonna send me out, too. You gotta go." To which the woman did angrily leave.

Braces are orthodontia here.
Oh...it occurs to me that Brits wouldn't
know a term about dental care....
