Well, I quite often change trousers with people in public for the hell of it. I just happen to have a similar figure as one of my friends and she has as many cool pairs of flares as I do. So often we just switch on the street if we’re bored. Shirts too.
So providing I wasn’t wearing anything particularly expensive, I can’t think why I’d mind. Actually, you could probably just have them if you asked nicely and told me something interesting about yourself. Any excuse to go buy trousers. I got some with neon green paint splatter all over them last week. : D
Although I suspect I’m the only person in the world who would WANT my trousers given my tendency to attack them with thread and random pairs of curtains.
Me, no. I have a heck of a time finding pants that fit and are comfortable. My pants only cost $4 on the clearance rack at Target, but I wouldn’t be able to replace them for any price, so I’m keeping 'em.
I’m with Green Bean. No amount of money is worth a pair of pants that actually fits my unique configuration. I’m currently mourning the loss of a pair (died of old age).
I’d rather not. Especially if I was wearing one of the pairs that my mother custom made for me. And also not the stripey ones, the embroidered ones, or the really comfy ones. Maybe the tight glittery ones, if there was another pair of pants nearby. But probably not. I’d be more worried about walking around in my undies than selling my pants.
Similar thing happened to me many years ago while in grad school. I was walkin on campus and was wearing a Bacardi T-shirt that I had gotten at a bar for free. A girl stopped me and asked if she could have my shirt. I told her it was hers for $25. She gave me the money and I walked home to get a new shirt with some extra money in my pocket.
If you want to get someone to sell you a piece of their clothing on the street, just ask a Grad Student. They’re always broke.
