5. Students in our city aren't aware that this has gone out of style,
sorry to say.

7. its not out of style
it's just not a new thing :shrug:

I honestly don't get the outrage over the hat thing. Catchers do it, and no one minds. The pants thing, whatever. Previous generations gave us the 70s and 80s, I hardly think this is anywhere close to the fashion horror of those 20 years...

8. We'll see how this fashion holds up in 20 - 30 years.
I'm thinking not so much. Could be wrong. :shrug:

2. Why is there half of a grill rack on the wall?
And is that a teeny tiny monkey in the window?

6. I am soooooooooooo glad my son stopped doing that
He drove me out of my mind last year with his pants hanging off his ass, UGH.

Thank god it's over! He dresses normally now.

9. Isn't he just standing in front of the dryer vent to shrink-to-fit his pants?
He's got the hat backwards so it won't blow off.

10. While the general idea (pants so low you can see ass crack) is not new
it used to be done with larger, more 'relaxed fit' jeans. Which made sense, you buy them to big, okay, they might ride a bit low. I didn't used to bother me very much. The NEW style, with the skin tight pants pulled down halfway down the ass, so tight it looks like they have 4 butt cheeks, well, that style I cannot say I understand that one at all.

15. And the kids wearing them can barely walk, that's what is
really uncomprehensible to me.

11. Saw a geezer once with a baseball cap that was labled
front, back, right, left.

I just wish girls would get into the whole show me your underware thing.

Yeah, I know, I'm a pig.

14. A cap on backwards identifies a person who doesn't know where he's going.
The pants around the asshole are just stupid.

16. I wonder what would happen...
if someone (a brave someone) would just go up to everyone they met on the street who had their pants halfway down their legs, and start laughing at them. Tell them they look like a ridiculous idiot.

Where I live, I'd likely get stabbed or shot for doing that.
But I wish someone would do it.

17. Last year at the Calgary Stampede I was having a beer with friends on the
mall when a couple of drunk cowboys came up behind a guy with his ass hanging out like that and pulled his jeans down around his ankles then walked away laughing their asses off. The pants guy stood their yelling all the shit he'd do to them if they came back but made no attempt to follow them after he got his pants back up.
