Put it away! Put it away!

[fireheart]

So you're a woman who decides that her pants are too big for her but the next size down is too small for her. Therefore you need to tuck it in so it fits. How do you go about this?

a) pin it to an item of clothing so that it stays up
b) get the pants professionally altered so that they WILL fit her perfectly?
c) continually ask anyone around her (male or female) to help her tuck her pants into her bra.

If you picked c), that's what happened to me this morning.

She asked the same question of a slightly older guy only to be rebuffed. I started walking away from her and did a loop around the bus interchange trying to avoid her asking me to help her with her pants! She went into the community centre nearby instead.

For some other strange reason, she was also hanging around the bus stop a good full 90 minutes before her bus arrived!

Well, who HASN'T hung around a bus stop looking to get tucked?

Either her breasts hang low or she wears her pants like an 80 year old man.

Either way, YUCK.

In all likelihood, both are true.

Thanks, I needed a good -a-thon before heading into work.

Yeeeahhh, I'll keep that in mind for future reference: "Hang around bus stops asking total strangers to help adjust my clothing."

OMG that water is cold when it comes out my nose. My family thinks I've gone mad.

As for the original post... yuck... how hard is it to find clothes that fit? And how low does this woman wear her bra? Ew.

I've pinned pants for myself and skirts for my sister before; like a small pleat. I could have had them altered but I figured with weight loss it wasn't worth the $10.

I have never nor will I ever feel the need to tuck my pants into my bra. I cannot get the image out of my brain now.

[Seshat]

How short is her torso?

Or is she wearing one of those ultra-longline bras?

Or ...


I just can't figure out the logistics of it. The crotch depth of the pants, if she's using a standard bra, must be amazingly wrong for her.


(Oh, and laborcat? Just don't go there. Not into "how hard is it to find clothes that fit" territory. Just ... don't! There be dragons. And bears. And giant cats that eat your brains. There are terrible, terrible things in that territory!)

She had a somewhat short torso would be my guess. The pants looked to be a particular brand which doesn't do leg lengths. (and for the record, I am known for wearing my pants and skirts somewhat high, but I don't tuck them into my bra!)

Worse still is that there's a shopping centre attached to that bus stop and when I came home that day, she was hanging around the shopping centre asking the same question to people!

ETA: The bra she was wearing was nothing special. Just one of your standard white lacy numbers that seem to be replacing the standard for everyday bras for big-busted women.

I think she was a few fries short of a Happy Meal. I mean, who does that? For hours??

Of course, if you think about it (not that you want to), it does sort of involve getting people to put their hands on or near her boobs.... so maybe the whole thing was a setup.

[BuffySummers]

Dooooooo Yourrrrrrr Boobs hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Throw them over your shoulder, like a continental soldier?
Do your boooooooobs haaaaaaaang loooooooowwwwww!!

I suspect your first guess is pretty much on the mark.

She asked me and I complied the first time (not looking at her directly) and then after that she tried to ask a man standing near me. He refused and by that point I'd escaped to near the library just simply because I didn't want her to ask me again!

Thank god she wasn't on my bus >.>

What the fuck? That is so disturbing! I would have run in the opposite direction.
