3 Questions About Clothing

[Buenchico]

1. What is that pocket-within-a-pocket for, on the right-hand front pocket of every pair of jeans I've bought?

A logical answer would seem to be that it's for coins (to prevent them wearing holes elsewhere) but that mini-pocket either seems to be so small that I can hardly get all my change in (yet alone get it out quickly at the supermarket checkout) or it's so shallow that all my change drops out of it as soon as I sit down.

I've never seen anyone actually use it (do you?), so what's its purpose, please?


2. What am I expected to do with the ridiculously long laces that seem to come with trainers these days?

I just need about 15cm of lace sticking out of each side of the trainers to tie a nice neat bow. Instead I'm presented with around 60cm on either side.

Perhaps I've missed a fashion trend and I'm expected to wear suspenders and tie my laces to them? ('Cos they're ruddy well long enough!).

Or is it just that the people who design trainers like watching people fall flat on their faces as they trip over their ridiculously-long laces for the umpteenth time in a day?


3. Why has the label on underpants moved?

Nearly 60 years ago my mother taught me to look for the label when putting my pants on. If it was at the back I'd got them the right way round. So I automatically glance at the label when putting my boxers on. My eyes see that it's at the back and my brain registers 'OK', so I try putting them on, only to (quite literally) get my knickers in a twist as some wally has decided that the label now goes at the side. Why?!!!!

Thanks to Shoota and Twix for managing to find the same link almost simultaneously.

(I've given 'Best Answer' to Twix for simply suggesting cutting the laces to reasonable lengths! Why can't I think of things like that?)

If you cut your laces Chris, singe the ends to stop them from fraying.
