If your going to sag your pants then please don’t wear briefs and please wear clean underwear. Also make sure that your weiner is all the way in. Most recently I was behind a guy walking up some stairs that was sagging his pants and had a hole in his boxers so as he was walking up I could see his disgusting hairy ass, and it is pretty common knowledge that you shouldn’t wear briefs and sag your pants at the same time for obvious reasons. My brother once gave a lady the peep show of her life in a store while trying on sweatshirts because when he lifted the shirt to take it off guess who pops out of the barn door, his friend Richard. People that don’t follow these rules give us all a bad name. 😉 ---

…And don’t wear big pants to places where small children may be present, or a kid, my son for example, may turn to his parents and say “MOM! DAD! That guy is wearing the BIGGEST PANTS IN THE WORLD! I’ve never SEEN PANTS THAT BIG! Have you ever SEEN PANTS THAT BIG BEFORE IN YOUR LIFE?” Trust me, big pants don’t go well with a red face. ---

Actually, the primary rule is - Knock that shit off, you look stupid. Just pull your pants up. And turn your ballcap around the right way while you’re at it. ---

> [@TellMeI'mNotCrazy](#): > > This could be the next spoken-text hit… “Everybody’s Free to Wear Baggy Pants” You sure it won’t be “make sure your weiner is all the way in”? It works anywhere, in fact I can picture a thread on hot dogs: _When putting condiments on your hot dog bun, make sure your weiner is all the way in. No one likes to see it poking out._ As for the baggy pants, I say let them wear them - it’s good for a laugh, for the rest of us. ---

I’m thinking, “If this guy wins his prize, he’s gonna lose his pants.” Yep, he won. Yep, he started jumping up and down. Yep, he ended up with his pants around his ankles. Bob Barker did his segue to commercial trying not to laugh too hard. ---

Sagging pants always make me think that the person wearing them has been subjected to hand-me-downs from his older, and much fatter, brother. Wear some clothes that fit, eh? ---

When my son was younger, we were sitting in a waiting room and in walked a guy with baggy pants. My boy laughed and pointed and yelled, “Look, Mommy, he’s wearing clown pants! He’s wearing clown pants!” “Hush, baby,” I said. “He doesn’t know he looks funny.” ---

One of the funniest thing I’ve ever seen is an episode of “Cops” or maybe it was"World’s Wildest Police Videos" (hey, it’s not me, my daughter loves this sh!t) when the guy leads the police on a high speed car chase and when he finally wrecks, jumps out of the car and runs, only he can’t run because his pants are falling down. He’s desparately trying to haul ass with one hand holding up his pants. I think he made it about 10 feet before they tackled his sorry ass. Maybe part of his sentance should be wearing super tight disco jeans from the 80s. ---

As an aside, **Exgineer** , I may quite possibly be in love with you. 😃 ---

Not to toot my own horn, but [I was always proud of this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=211845) I wonder if the Big & Tall Men’s stores have gotten more popular in all this. I’ve even seen people wearing SUITS too big for them. And I can never keep a straight face when I see that. ---

You know the saying “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes”…? I wonder what would happen if we all walked a mile in someone else’s baggy pants. 😃 ---
