When you see kids walking around in those baggy assed pants...

[elfwitch]

You know the ones that look like if the kid sneezed, his pants would fall down. The ones that look like an overripe diaper hanging off their asses. You know the ones that if it weren't for their boxer shorts, hanging out the top of their pants, you could see half the crack of their butts. You know THOSE...

Don't you just wanna walk up and pants em? Or just step on the part of their pant legs that are scraping the floor. Basically, every time I see one of these kids, I just want to finish the job of dropping their pants to their ankles.

How about you?

1. before i wore my pants like that

it always looked like they took a massive shit in their pants. then when i wore em like that i felt like i had massive amounts of shit in my head, so i compromised, and now they're slightly lower than normal, but not like the gangbangers.

Chances are if you pantsed them, there would be hell to pay.

[maggrwaggr]

11. hell to pay? Usually skinny white kids around here

the gangbangers quit doing that shit a long time ago as far as I can tell. Now it's skinny white 13 year olds.

[elfwitch]

12. and doesn't it drive you nuts when you see...

Middle-class suburban white kids talking like they were LA pimps or East Coast rappers. Do they not realize how fricken silly they look when they do that? Don't they realize that it makes other people think that they are ignorant?

I guess I'm turning in to an old Jewish mother now because I spend a great deal of time thinking... "Sheesh! What is with these kids today?"

[notadmblnd]

26. Or how bout the sweatpants with one leg pulled up

either right or left to signify what part of town your from eastside/westside. Hey, maybe thats where it originated. Pants worn up if your from the Northside, down for Southside, ya think?

[ForrestGump]

35. Yo, don't diss me,

you un-hep square.

Well, something like that. :-)

[put out]

22. Hey, that's my son you're talking about!

Yeah, I don't like them, but....

He does, and I pick my battles. He doesn't violate his school's dress code. Heck, when I was his age (little old lady voice) the boys wore their pants so tight you could tell their religion.

I wore mine so tight I had a pair of pliers on my dresser so that I could grab the zipper tab to zip them. It took two hands, all my strength, and a relining position. Hah.

Such is life. I like the baggy look better than that. It's a wonder me and my classmates weren't dropping like flies from the lack of circulation/oxygen.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

2. I tell those kids where sagging came from...

And they're usually like gross, and stop it.

5. i was told it was a prison thing to signify they're "open"

[Lars39]

8. I'd read that the trend got started by those newly released from jail.

They'd had their belt confiscated, and just hadn't put it back on yet. Somehow it became a status thing, showing that a person had been arrested. :eyes:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

30. Ding ding ding ding...Roddy, tell him what's he's won!

[qb]

3. Hey - my son is one of those kids.

Actually, he's 4 years old and we're just waiting for him to grow into them!

[elfwitch]

6. yeah my 3 year old has a similar problem...

But then we change his shitty pull-ups.

[Kadie]

7. same in this house

my son is 3, we always bought clothes a little big and wait for him to grow into them. Problem now is, he likes them big and baggy. By the time they "fit" they are driving him crazy.

[Loco_moco]

4. "pants em".. LOL!!!

..I haven't heard that term in years.... thanks for the memories!:-)

[khashka]

9. Sure I do :)

But it's a generation thang. Or a cutural thang, or a style thang.

I think it looks stupid. But I think (now) when I was young and cool, I looked ridiculous too.

So engage in those ideas and laugh, but don't turn in to an old geezer or geezerette :)

There are worse things in this world.

Or, hey, "accidentally" step on their cuffs! In most cases, there is more than one way to go :)

Khash.

[Padraig18]

10. I'm always hoping that they WILL fall off.

:evilgrin:

[nclib]

38. I saw that happen once.

Out in the mall parking lot. Two kids in front of me and one of them had their pants fall down around his ankles. I tried to pretend I hadn't noticed but couldn't keep the grin off my face. :D

[freetobegay]

13. It's funny you mention this.

Just two days ago we were eating in a restaurant & we saw a busboy with pants like what you described & yes I complained to the manager & yes if you don't like it tough! I should not have to see that when I am paying for my dinner! The manager corrected the problem.

P.S. If he wants to wear his pants like that on his time fine, but I don't think it's appropriate at a place of business.

[buddhamama]

14. i roll my eyes, shrug my shoulders and say, Kids these days

the same type of responses i received when i was younger and the older folks didn't understand my mode of dress.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. That's what I do with my son...

I think it satisfies some primal need in teens...

We're not supposed to understand any more than our parents were; but they desperately want us to understand that. :crazy:

[bif]

15. How about the fake red hair and the Goth makeup?

Like my daughter wears? She's a really good kid, gets good grades and everything. But why does she have to look so silly? And now my younger daughter, who has a really pretty face has decided she needs to wear makeup too! I don't get it.

[Champ]

17. Maybe it's just me

But I like dark hair with red streaks. Like I said maybe it's just me. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. My son wants piercings...

I don't really care if he gets his ears pierced, though I'm not paying for it. But the other stuff is just too much for my poor old geezer heart to take.

He'll probably go wild with it when he turns 18, and regret it when he's 23.

[bif]

21. That's where we draw the line

They got to get their ears pierced. One hole per ear. When they move out of the house, they can do whatever they want, piercing-wise.

[tigereye]

39. I like the Goth look

better than the faux Britney or whomever look. Although who knows what I will say when my son reaches that age.

[Champ]

16. He's wearing the wrong kind of pants

That have to be your waist size and a little big on the pant leg part. Pants like that are much more comfortable then tight-ass wranglers. I always see other kids buying pants with a big waist size which is dumb.

[SmileyBoy]

28. Wranglers are painted-on jeans.

I wouldn't be caught dead in those.

[LDS Jock]

36. I would. And I appreciate them on others.

Wranglers are hot. Nothing shows off the male booty like a tight pair of wranglers. I would MUCH rather see those on someone than baggy ass pants.

[no name no slogan]

18. Yeah, they're dumb, but no worse than the mullets we wore (n/t)

[Lindsay]

23. Just remember you'll get your revenge

20 years from now when they have to look at their pictures.

[TEXASYANKEE]

24. They just don't look comfortable.

And most of the time the kid is holding his crotch so the pants don't fall off. Silly.

[notadmblnd]

25. yup, I've had the urge

indulge your urge then take off running. Whats the kid goona do? He'll be busy pulling up his pants.

[SmileyBoy]

27. Yeah, I really, really do!!!

I just wanna pants those kids!!! That'd be hilarious!!!

[WillParkinson]

29. My cook used to wear his pants like that...

When I saw this I told him that he WOULD pull them up. He tried to argue with me. I told him that having his ass hang out was not only unpleasant to look at but was not sanitary.

I offered him the option of pulling them up or having a conversation with the chef.

He opted to pull them up.

[mitchum]

31. They look like dorks

Also, why in the hell would anyone wear pants that make their legs look shorter? A stupid look.

[geniph]

32. All I can say is thank goodness for the boxer shorts...

because I do NOT want to see all those kids bareassed or in tighty whities - I have teenage boys living in my house, and I get to see enough racing stripes on undies, thank you very much. I admit to a vagrant impulse to yank 'em down and run like hell - I mean, there's no way they could CATCH you, their pants would trip 'em and kill 'em - but then I remember the fuschia velvet bell-bottoms I had that were so wide in the bell that sometimes one leg would wrap around the other and stop me dead in my tracks. I'm sure the adults thought I looked pretty damned idiotic, too. This too shall pass. And it can't be too soon for me.

You know what broke my stepsons of seriously slacking? Rollerblading. The older boy was trying to both look cool while doing grinding maneuvers on skates AND hold his pants up so he wouldn't go ass over teakettle, and we pointed out that if he wasn't slacking so drastically, he wouldn't have four yards of fabric puddled around his skates and impeding his progress...we guaranteed the girls would laugh less if he didn't have to hold his pants up every time he skated by them. We were right, and now he wears his pants too baggy and too low, but thankfully nowhere near as bad as before.

You can also break some kids of slacking by pointing out that the racing stripes in their undies show. :evilgrin:

It's a stupid, ugly fashion, but I don't give a flying fart in a windstorm so long as I don't have to see either their behinds or their bodily wastes wiped on their undies. I'm not wearing that fashion - hell, I'm proud I'm back down to a size 5, I'm wearing tight jeans again!

[Kathleen04]

33. One time...

I was walking in the mall and one of those kids' pants just fell down on their own, he was wearing boxers though..lol..but he was embarrassed and tried to pick them back up really fast. :o

[baldguy]

34. Damn kids!

In my day, children knew how to dress themselves. They knew how to wear god damn pants! They think they some kind of gangster hippity-hoppity bad guys. They're in suburbia fer crise-sakes!

Damn kids!

[put out]

37. Yeah, them damn kids!

Back in my day, we dressed ourselves right too! We wore our platforms HIGH, and so did some of the girls. Shiny shiny tropical print shirts, worn TIGHT, and with huge lapels like God made 'em. And unbuttoned, too, the better to see chest hair, two or three sometimes. With the puka beads!

And if we couldn't buy our pants with bells big enough, we put inserts into the outer seam! Hey, in contrasting fabric! Home Ed is not totally useless. Don't forget the extra wide belt with the grommets. Two rows shows everyone how cool you are!

And we wore afros, which takes a lot of work and expense when you're a white kid with fine thin hair. Don't forget the frosted blue eye shadow, with matching mascara, especially if you're male.

I am smiling now.

[tigereye]

40. yeah I remember those platforms

and elephant bells. And hiphuggers so tight we are lucky we were able to breed. I suspect parents were shaking their heads then too.

[kodi]

41. steal their wallets. they'll never feel it missing
