NO!!!!!!!!! no way.

Takes me back to what my parents thought of some of our trends at the time. Heck it was better than that!
Me either :glare: I just want to kick them in the ... and tell them to pull up their pants!!! :laugh:
I will say that this is a part of my everyday scenery...it's worse in the summer, because you're basically glancing at guy's butts in underwear all the time... But it was pretty scandalous when young people started wearing jeans. Yep, jeans were scandalous. The difference, of course, is that youth were adopting jeans to make a point about honesty and humility. The crazes of drooping pants and one sweat pant leg pulled up over one calf got their start in prison....just sayin'

I wish that fashion statement would end very soon. I like looking at a guys .... in nice jeans as much as they like looking at womens. Sometimes I feel like asking if they looked in the mirror b4 they left the house.

I had heard that the one pant leg pulled over the calf indicated "I've got drugs to sell". Not sure if that is true or is an urban myth.

Yes...that exactly!!!! On the stairs in front of me, when I'm walking out of the subway :facepalm:

I've heard that as well. I've also heard that prisoners would pull one up to show their muscle definition...a lot of "gym rat" guys only work out the upper body and neglect the lower body. It was supposed to be a sign that they were strong all over. I don't know which one is correct, but the origin is the important point to me. When did we, as a society, start to imitate prisoners instead of hard-working people???

The Vapure e-cig store near me has a lot of kids working. I went in today for a couple of cartos, and a once-beautiful young lady walked up to me. She had calico hair (predominantly pink) and several lower lip studs. It's too painful for me to even look at someone like that, so I usually don't ... just kinda look around while talking.

If I were a youngster in school, and my mother had tats and piercings, and the sides of her head shaven, I would never allow her to come to school to pick me up in public. I would pretend I dint see her and walk the other way as fast as I could.

More importantly (and on point)… is it showing?? :laugh:

Hiya, Tink, :wub:

Only in the shower these days. :D

Yeah, LOL, I saw you out in the street all excited over your snow ...........

Hi, My Boo. :wub:

I wasn't all that excited when I realized I had to scrape 3-4 inches of snow off of it. Luckily, I have a snow scraper, but I forgot to put on gloves. My poor little digits nearly froze.
