Damnit, I’m wearing left-legged pants.
Faux pas. 
Anyway, have you considered donating the pants to Ned Flanders’ Leftorium? 
The only explanation I’ve seen is that it dates to the time when women of nobility were all dressed by their servants who, being mostly right-handed, would be able to button the lady up using their favored hand.
Clearly, Crayons, the only solution left for you is to become left-handed…
My left-handed cousin taught me how to crochet, and I am right-handed. I sat directly in front of her and copied exactly what she did. Stuff I make looks like the mirror image of what she makes.
I’m more confused that you have a pair of pants with both a zip and a button fly … perhaps it has flies fore and aft, and you just have them on backwards?
I can understand how the button on a pair of pants can be left handed but how can a ***zipper ***be? What am I not getting here?
Half my pants are differently zippered. Maybe that means I’m ambilegstrous.
Just a typo I’m afraid, due to the smallness of my laptop keyboard. Moi, certainement je connais comment épeller “faux pas”. You can always tell which computer I’m using by the number of typos. Though I do know a lawyer who likes to pronounce it “fox pass”.
AndrewT – the buttons at the top of the fly. In the case of these weirdo pants there are two buttons at the top.
Aesiron - dude, just look at your pants. The seams are cut so that the zipper is discreetly covered by material, kinda like a pocket only big enough for your fingers to pinch the zipper’s tab. That little crevice is usally designed so you can access the zipper from the right. No so with the mutant pants.
Ah. I wasn’t thinking about the flap at all and was just thinking about the zipper itself. Makes sense now.
Well, you could be like those cool kids who cut the flap off so you can see the ziiper. I guess it’s supposed to be sexy – rrrowr! I’m ready for action… Either left or right handed! cue music – boom chicka wow wow…
I’ve got a pair of lefty pants that I’m wearing right now (made in El Salvador, not Taiwan). They’re great pants except for the confusion when I put them on.
I was discussing this with my co-workers when I first realized these pants were abnormal and they asked me whether the pants were men’s pants, but I know they’re women’s because my hips are way too womanly to fit in men’s pants.
Maybe we should write to the manufacturers…mine are Sag Harbor.
