Not Sucky, But Odd

At the call center I used to work at, we sold all sorts of things that you see on TV. One of these things are pantyhose type things that are meant to suck you in and make you look thinner. It can be assumed that they are meant for women since the only people you see in the ads are....women. Well one day, a man called in. Here's the conversation:

Me: hi!
G: guy

Me: Hello, my name is Coolcuziknit, how may I help you?
G: I would like to buy some Skinny pants (not the actual name)
Me: (thinking this was weird, but maybe he was getting them for his wife) Sure, may I have your name?
G: Well, I was wondering if men can wear them
Me: Well, they're designed for women
G: Yeah, but can men wear them?
Me: Well sir, I wouldn't recommend it. You see, they're VERY tight and I really think they're only meant to be worn by women.
G: Ok thanks (hangs up)
Me: Ummmmm....

I felt kind of bad for the guy, clearly he was getting desperate if this was what he was resorting to, either that or he was a cross dresser. I just couldn't in good judgment sell him these pants just in case he did some sort of damage to himself.

Maybe he had a hot date and wanted to hide a gut.

i get those calls all the time. I sell something the rhymes with cream lobby...
I simpley say it wou want to, yuou will just be in something tight and like women you will have to pull it down to use the restrooms and i dont fight them they tire themselves out.

The ex was in the military and would swear by wearing pantyhose in the field to keep warm. Whatever.

Maybe that's the guy that I had to deal with one night back in my retail hell days, who came through my register dressed up like a woman. That was something I'll never forget! I'm standing there, checking him out, trying not to start laughing. I managed to wait until after he left, which was a tough thing to do, especially with my co-workers going by & making funny faces.

maybe he was a drag queen? one of my friends in VA use to do that. he was even in a "no surgery " contest... the men could use slimming clothing, makeup, hell even duct tape, just no cosmetic surgery. (my friend was accused of "cheating" but he was more than glad to prove that his "womanly chest" had been created with a duct tape lift.)

so... maybe he's got a contest to win
or just wants to look slimmer.

the best way to do that is to find out what waist size he has and convert it to woman's sizes, or to at least see if he knows what size of woman's pants he wears...

... wh ich reminds me... i've also read that lifeguards like woman's hose too, at least when they're facing jellyfish. i guess it's harder for them to sting through the tight fabric or something like that

The guy was probably trying to dress emo. A lot of the guys I went to high school with who were emo would buy tight woman's jeans to wear. It really only works for guys who are already slim. Heavier guys or even just average guys aren't always able to pull of the look.

One of the current trends these days are skinny pants. Not only straight-line jeans, but of a size to cut off all circulation. The only reason they don't strangle their manhood is that they add a little sagging to that so the waistband is cutting across the middle of the ass.

It looks just as stupid, if not moreso, than the usual sagging. And since it's all dorky white guys I've seen doing it, they aren't wearing shorts underneath.
