Does if offend you when a man bends over and you can see most of his backside above his waistband? What about the guys who wear their pants so low it's a wonder they don't fall off? Or the guy who wears his pants so tight it leaves nothing to the imagination? This really ticks me off and it can be embarrassing!
 

I was visiting my mom last month and she had a plumber in fixing her toilet. I walked down the hall and glanced in; he was straddling the toilet seat and working inside the tank. He had about four inches of butt crack showing. I held in the giggles until I got back to the living room and then I couldn't even talk. I sent my sister down the hall; she came back in hysterics. Mom wanted to know what was so funny, so we sent her down the hall. All I can say, is it's a good thing she has two bathrooms in her house 'cause she was about to pee her pants laughing. I've never seen such a fine example of "plumbers butt" in my life. Wish I had my camera with me.
 
I've worked around construction crews for 40 years. Seen so many miles of "plumber's crack", that's what I blame my cataracts on. The eyes can only take so much of those "shows" before they begin to cloud over!!!

Don't know which is harder on the eyes... plumber's crack because of the Levi's or those who wear overalls and leave the side buttons undone. Of course, those doing manual labor usually don't worry about looking as if they just stepped out of 'Gentlemen's Quarterly' magazine. Mix in a little tobacco juice running out of the corner of their mouth, the inability to complete a sentence without at least two or three curse words, and body odor that keeps you breathing through your mouth. But... they are working hard to support families.

What I don't understand are these kids who purposely wear their pants hanging clear below their buttcrack, with their underwear pulled up six inches above the belt line. Most of them wear their hats cocked over to one side. Looks like if they followed the bill of their cap, they would be running in circles.

What ever happened to tight Levi's and our haircuts known as "flat top with fenders"???

Of course, at my age, I'm not too far from pulling my belt up to about armpit elevation. :D
 

The other day I saw some kids (teenagers) trying to run for a bus and one of 'em was having to hold his pants up with one hand so they wouldn't fall down because he was wearing them so low. I couldn't help but laugh! I swear I do not see what is cool about wearing plaid boxer shorts that show above your pants and then wearing both of them so low it looks like one wrong step and they would fall off! Weird.
 
I have no hips to speak of which from time to time has led to the problem alluded to in this thread. But I've solved the problem by switching from a belt to suspenders. At this stage of my life I certainly don't want to offend the ladies.
 
I don't know anyone personally who wears their pants in an offensive manner, mostly just teens around, both male and female that do stuff like that. It's just the current fad or trend, nothing to get mad about, IMO. I'm sure our parents weren't thrilled to see the hip-huggers, mini and micro skirts from the '60s either. They were saying the same things some of us say today, lol. All things past with time, and some fashions come around again. I've been seeing platform heels and tie dyed shirts on a lot of people lately too.

Reminds me of this delightful gentleman on American Idol who made us all smile with his Pants On The Ground Song. :D

Oh my.... that is my poor husband too.. He has no hips and no arse to speak of.. even the weight of his wallet and keys pulls down his pants.. He either has to wear his pants up over his belly... OR wear a belt AND suspenders.. He's certainly not a gangbanger.. lol!!
 
We wear a lot of pocket T-shirts, you can get them at Walmart. I bought a bunch awhile back at $5 each at Sears. But Duluth would have a higher quality shirt for sure.
 
I've been told police officers have two thoughts about the low riding pants with the underwear showing, one (1)mild revulsion and two (2) how easy they are to catch in a foot chase.

I agree, Sea, it's kids being kids and trying to find a way to rebel just like other generations. I hate it as much as the next and went so far as to try to figure out why in the heck they do it as I find it deplorable. I've read all the other tales about the prison culture where such looks may have originated from, but kids have all kinds of other reasons for this ridiculous look and mainly it boils down to thumbing their fingers at the older folks. What else can they wear to distinguish themselves, too many adults these days sport the same styles their teenage daughters and sons wear, so guess pulling their pants off their bums was the only most offensive thing left.

I'm now just going to on top of my usual eye roll, just not let it irritate me as much and try not to stare too long and wonder why the pants don't fall all the way off. I still stare as some men that wear ponytails that really need to give those up so, whatever.
 
I always liked long hair on men, going way back to the '60s of course, don't have a problem with it either today. Hubby has kept his hair short for around forty years now, but when we met in our early 20s, it was shoulder length, he never did the ponytail thing though. :D

Glad that you solved this problem, but what are suspenders? here they are what ladies wear to keep up their stockings [ a suspender belt.]
 
never seen the plumber [with low riding jeans] maybe because the plumbers we use are older?Have seen this with teens at times, but it seems to be out of fashion now over here.I don't mind men of any age with ponytails, but don't like long hair[that isn't in a ponytail.]
 
Here is the secret. Garter belts.:)
