Guy at Home Depot with plastic shorts (poss. medical question)

Were his shorts elasticized at the leg as well as the waist?

No, they appeared to be just normal looking nylon shorts (for like running or swimming).

The penny drops!

The answer is on this other current thread

I am SO clever!!

Redboast

I agree if I met this guy in the street and asked for directions (but we men type don’t ask for directions ;)). BUT Home Depot hired this person and put him in a position where he must be able to communicate with the public in a way that the public would like.

Sorry to offend any of the PC crowd but there are some people who arn’t good, for whatever reason, for a particular job. That isn’t a bad thing in itself and in general terms it is a good thing and more things can get done well. But it does leave people out in the cold.

Also I was willing to communicate w/ him by bringing him to a part that is used with the part I needed and to show him where the part I needed would fit but he basically didn’t want to go and my wife was able to write something that got me that part.

I know this is off the topic but I had to respond to this personal asault.

Hoo hoo! Clever work, my friend.

Those chastity belts are just odd. Thankfully I stuck it out and read the entire thread. Very cool linkage of threads, I must say!

I shudder to think that this is indeed a potential explanation…
