The Droopy Draws Crowd

Driftwood

I'M 64 ,son is 38. We're at the sprint store getting new phones. Busy about 10 folks 3 sales clerks. Look over a nice looking young kid neatley combed corn rows [maybe 20] is in next line. Nice clean clothes. big kid about 6ft 3" . pants down 1/2 way on his blue boxer shorts. top button undone, zipper 1/2 down belt undone. I'M next to the glass doors. Kid approaches exit. I say "hey Bud ,I don't know if You realize this , but your pants are about to fall off! And you forgot to tie your belt!" He gives Me a look,I smile. My son laughs. The customers smiled, and a few thumbs up. I'm tired of this crap! Yea I'm a crazy old coot

I'm 40, and that sh*t drives me nuts!!! How about a bunch of gold chains hanging on an open shirted kid with no physique, pant legs dragging on the ground (all tattered), and wearing a baseball cap sidewayss????? Not to mention a face full of metal??? Why??? !!!

What I wanted to do, is put My arm around Him, and give Him a father son talk. These kids are lost. I think a lot of Dads arn't there for their sons.He looked like a good kid under it all.

Almost nothing funnier than watching a kid swagger-walk down the street holding a boom box in one hand, and holding his pants up with the other, and thinking he is "so cool!"

And I agree with George Carlin, if your over 12 years old, white, and wear your baseball hat backwards - Automatic Loser! If you wear it sideways, you need to jump in front of a bus cuz you got absolutley nothing goin' for you!

I remember an episode of Cops the TV show where they were chasing a couple of idiots wearing their pants like that (halfway down their ass), and they were easily caught because of it. I always figured if I joined the criminal element I would probably were some jogging pants and sneakers for a fast get away.

Make sure to tie your shoes laces, I am not a fan of the untied laces and the tags hanging off of the shoes. Not sure if they are proud of the price or whatever is on the tag or the I just stole these shoes look.

I really don't like the droopy drawers look either, but the VA bill seems bad to me. It talks about the display of undershorts in a lewd and indecent manner. I certainly don't want to see a guy's undershorts, but among the droopy drawers crowd, it's generally boxers. They're functionally or visually really no different than ordinary athletic or gym shorts. Bad fashion, in my opinion, but a far cry from lewd or indecent. A whale tail, from the females, is a horse of another color, however.

Do we wait until the johnsons start swinging out? No matter how you look at it its inproper.Our society is to lackadaisel in there efforts to maintain good standards,and you wonder why children turn out like they do.

Apparently there are more states than i thought cracking down.

Ordinances have been enacted in six Louisiana cities

Issue also before officials in Atlanta, Georgia, and Stratford, Connecticut

Maybe, but at least my pants fit right.

!!! Now that's really a Whale Tail we don't need to see!!!

PressurePros

MD, not sure how old you are.. I'm guessing closer to my age (39) but if you went through the eighties as a teen your pants probably came close to choking of your ability for procreation. I see these kids and get annoyed more at the cultural cross over and wannabes than I do the fact that they are expressing themselves. If I had to choose loose fitting pants or a kid with jet black dyed hair and black lipstick with an "I hate the world atitude" I guess I choose the former.

My son went through the 'low boys' in his pre-teens. One night we were chiding him about the look and probabilities. 5 mins. later we went out to eat and just outside of the front door the pants lost their whisper of a grip and fell to the ground. He's much older and wiser now but it's still a funny story in our circle.

True story, had company one afternoon,we were watching a GTA high speed chase, Live on TV. Suspect came to a traffic jam, got out and started running, using one hand on his belt to keep his pants up, ran towards a trigger happy cop who shot him dead, said he was reaching in his waistband for a weapon.
