You're asking a lot from gravity

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Went out to the local Inbred Carnival to buy a few groceries and a few other things.

I wanted to get some of their sparkling flavored water, but the aisle was blocked by a rather ample woman in a motorized cart and her equally ample daughter.

The woman's sweatpants were down below her butt cheeks. I am not kidding in the least. Her crack had to be resting directly on the seat.

Horrified, I turned and went into the next aisle and waited for them to move on. If I were in charge of the motorized carts at the local Inbred Carnival, I'd have burned that particular cart. It's the only way to be sure.

What I will never understand is how people like this can't tell that half their butt is exposed!

Can't they feel the breeze? Can't they feel the pseudo-leather seat?

Just...Ewww.

[Sapphire Silk]

Yes, but they've convinced themselves it's NORMAL.

It's also very hard to find actual pants in that size. Everythings a baggy pull up that sags. Hard to find actual jeans or slacks that you can actually use a belt with.

That is my new favorite name for that chain! Irv, make up a name for my store, pleeease.

[Evannah]

Oh God

Some people just have no shame.

[morgana]

I'm glad I wasn't there. The urge for target practice might have been insurmountable . . .

[Golden Phoenix]

Ewww! >_< Leaving aside how gross it is that she's got her bare butt all over the seat, there's no way of knowing what's been on there before! I couldn't do that.

I'm close to 300 lb (though i've recently joined weightwatchers and already lost close to a stone) and i absolutely make sure that my ass is covered, no-one wants to see that!

Nicely done! I need to get back on the program. I still have all my old Points counters and books.

One of the real reasons I found a pair of palazzos that fit properly and promptly bought another 7 pair ... and when I find a polo that I like the fit of, I buy multiples in a bunch of different colors. It may be boring, but I am *dressed* and nothing hangs out!

We had a huge uproar at work in recent months with the sweat pants ban (note: only the type with cuffed ankles are banned, athletic pants are still okay) because some of our much more ample women that work there can't/won't wear jeans or can't fit into them.

"Say no to crack"

"crack kills, wear suspenders"

[wolfie]

"crack kills, wear suspenders"

Some of our British users might take that the wrong way (to them, "suspenders" means what we call "garters").

I'm a Size 12-14 (US) (16-18 Australian) and I have trouble finding pants that not only fit, but last longer than a few weeks. I CANNOT wear yoga pants as they wind up rubbing between the thighs. Instead I wear harem pants and I seem to have a pair of "Miracle" pants that last.

I'm not exactly the slimmest of people but... no, just no.

I still have a burned-in mental image of a particular large individual in the gents at a theme park in Orlando who was standing at the urinal ...completely naked.

Sufficed to say I used the cubicle instead.
