I am in a unique position to help you out! I know how to say “where are my pants?” in at least ten languages. ---

You mean most people stay fully dressed at home? Whatever for? Unless I know I’m going to be going back out shortly (say, within 30 minutes), all I’ll be wearing is a long shirt (about knee length) and boxers. ---

Homer Simpson voice: _I seem to have misplaced my pants._ The Simpsons have a quote for everything. On hot days, I walk around my apartment in panties and long T-shirts. I put on a pair of shorts if the doorbell rings or I hear the ice cream man. ---

Now I feel like a fraud for posting while wearing pants. PWWP. Oh the shame!! ---

> [@Dusty](#): > > You mean most people stay fully dressed at home? Whatever for? Unless I know I’m going to be going back out shortly (say, within 30 minutes), all I’ll be wearing is a long shirt (about knee length) and boxers. As far as I know, getting at least partially undressed is more normal, judging by the people who seem astonished that all I take off when I get home are my shoes. I don’t take anything else off until time for my evening shower. You couldn’t pay me to sit around in my underwear. ---

You could pay me to sit around in my underwear. But then again, I usually do it anyway for free. ---

In three odd years and over 2,000 posts, I have never, ever even once posted here with pants on. ---

I had my green tea earlier today in the altogether. Now however I’m drinking coffee and fully dressed except for bare feet. Strangely, except for wearing a bathrobe when I first get up, I’ve never really done the hanging-around-the-house-in-my-underwear thing. I tend to be either fully dressed like now, or fully undressed like earlier. ---

I am wearing pants. I am _not_, however, wearing underpants. Another casualty of laundry day. ---
