Help! I am in the middle of serious warfare right now. My pants are revolting against me. No, seriously. They have all turned against me. And shut your mouth, it’s not a busting seams problem.
I wear dress slacks to work everyday. Since the move I have 4 four pairs of rotating slacks that don’t need to be ironed, add in jeans day Friday and I am golden. (Everything else is either in a box, or it came out of the box completely wrinkled and I am too lazy to iron and too annoyed to wash perfectly clean, albeit wrinkled clothes.) Well, since the move my pants have slowly turned against me. I am down to one pair of problem free pants!
Two pairs, one brown and one black, decided to unhem themselves on the right leg. Why the right leg? On desperate days, which is every week, I wear them anyways and just hope people think I have one leg shorter than the other. Faking a handicap is better than actually doing something about my problem, right?
A third pair of pants decided to unzip at random times throughout the day. At first I just thought I was forgetting to zip my pants after getting dressed or going to the bathroom. Then I realized (after this happened many, many times, seriously my coworkers my think I get dressed in the dark and only have half a brain) I wasn’t losing my mind, my pants had turned against me. By the way, these are the pants I am wearing today. I wore black underwear and I am obsessively checking my zipper. Yeah, that won’t freak coworkers out.
I am going to have to de-rotate a pair of slacks every week for a month to get them tailored. Either that or talk hubs into giving me a credit card for new clothes. (Hi honey! Can I buy new pants? The guy down the hall keeps walking slowly by my desk, I am getting worried.)
How come everything hits at once. Three weeks ago I had four pairs of perfectly good pants, now I am just waiting for the final pair to join the ranks to turn against me. Darn you super comfortable, but cheaply made pants! I shake my fist at you.
By all means… please buy new pants.
There is nothing I hate more then the mystery of the self unzipping pants.
I’ve had the one-leg-coming-unhemmed problem several times myself! Why IS that???
You poor baby….do you need your pants hemmed? You can also replace zippers. I’ve got a sewing machine you can borrow……who am I kidding?

Oh God, you sound like me. I own only two pairs of jeans and I cringe everytime I think I see even a hint of a tear or fray. What’s worse is that I also rotate only two bras, as they’re the only ones that seem to fit right now, and I don’t think sports bras really count as bras. Good luck with your non-rebellious pair.
Um yeah. Pants hate me too. When I had my office job, I had the same rotating 4 pairs of black pants. 1 pair stretched WAY too big after the first couple hours, 1 pair also came unhemmed (I think it was the right leg too), and the 3rd… had a missing button that I had no clue how to replace (it wasn’t a simple button). It was the 4th pair… my golden pair of “go to” black pants that saved me on many occasions. And now… since I rarely have to wear slacks, I wear my favorite pair when I shoot a special event and I have to wear all black. Slacks are no easy purchase either… because usually it means throwing down at least $70. Anything less and they will just fall apart (especially if you’re wearing them once a week). Hope the pants situation works out.
