The danger of wearing trousers

[MACKAY]

Just added reason number 62 to not wear trousers ....

Was getting dressed for work the other day and was stepping into my trousers when my toes caught the bottom hem seam and stopped suddenly, while my heel continued its slide down the back. As my foot is longer than the pant leg is wide, my foot came to a screeching halt (think of trying to put trousers on without pointing your toes / foot down), thus hyper-extending the inside arch of my foot causing the most excruciating pain!

Took me two days to begin to walk without bending my foot and feeling like someone was pushing a knife into the inner arch of my foot. Almost a week later and it still hurts in the morning when I first step out of bed.

Should of ... could of ... worn a kilt and avoided all this pain!

And of course in wintertime the roads are treated with rock salt so cars get filthy and the lower part of the trouser legs get covered in muck as they catch the sill when you get in and out the car.

Wow, Brian! You're gonna have to slow down when you put on your trousers!

Before I started wearing kilts last summer, I caught my foot on the inside hem of a pair of shorts, lost my balance, and fell on the floor. My wife was starring down at me like she had married an idiot. I'll stick with kilts full-time. Apparently, if each leg has to go into a seperate hole, it's to compicated for me.

To put on pants you have to balance like a stork on one leg and try to get a leg in before you fall down, then repeat with the other leg. It just ain't natural.

Perhaps one could simply put their legs in the holes while seated, then stand up and pull your pants to their proper position. Drastic measures to be sure, but a workable situation.

This is just begging for a smarta$$ comment about coordination, but this is a family friendly forum. 8)

Hear, Hear, I agree!

Standing on one foot balancing to get into a garment is just not realistic or functional!

I loved the look of the gentleman in the gym the other day when I decided that I did not need to put my kilt on before my hose and shoes. I was warm already and donning the shoes and hose first kept me a little a cooler. However, it must have been an unusual site to see a 6' 3" man standing in a button down shirt putting on socks and boots, then stand up, reach in the locker, and pull out a kilt to strap around my waist!

Hope that you start to feel better soon Brian. On the trouser wearing front, I always disliked the fact that the bottom of them always seemed to get dirty. Went through many a pair with the stitching coming apart at the bottom, I felt like I was mopping the floor.
