Where is the utility pocket? All I see is the front pockets,
Exactly! The pocket is on the outside thigh. It’s really not something one would notice, especially when empty.
That’s why these models could never be confused for cargo pants/shorts. Roughly at arm length (if one has freakishly long arms, as I do).
Even when carrying a phone in the pocket, it’s barely visible except perhaps by someone with a leg fetish or the like.
Can you get a photo that shows the outside of the leg or a link to a description on a website because I really don’t understand what you are talking about with a pocket that can’t be seen.
Check below the model’s right hand, on the outside of the thigh.
I guess.
There are some thigh pockets which include zippers, or other enclosures, I gather, and some that are more obtrusive, like the Timberland Pro jeans (OK jeans, but not something you’d necessarily pair with a tweed sportcoat and decent shoes).
So, there’s some variation in “visibility” of the pocket, to be sure…given my eyesight, it’s not something I would personally notice, depending on the color of the fabric and other ephemera.
More like a slit than a patch pocket, I guess is the general form.
And with some variation on if the manufacturer decides to highlight the “feature” or not.
I did say that people who have sharp eyes or a keen sense of style would notice them…but that’s pretty far out of my bailiwick in personal experience.
Oh, no.
Nextdoor. Dot Com.
No, I don’t think anything needs to be said.
How many years, and months in years have I “unsubscribed?”
Oh, no.
This is just,this is not something one tolerates.
It’s like subscribing to a forum dedicated to some überniche thing like one of those many mst for-profit sites moderated by and populated by rubes.
Why?
Why is NextDoor crap still in one of my junk e-mail accounts?
And this stuff is becoming more offensive, racist, reactionary than I ever thought possible.
Completely unacceptable,
And, no, but thanks for asking. No. My “account” has not been “hacked.” Wasn’t just fell off the turnip truck.
I got one the other day that was an obvious phishing attempt. Subject was “Payslip”. Return address was donotreply@district.edu. No message and attachment that said USpayslip so I reported it.
Nope. It was real.
The local taxi company.
When I go to work in the morning I drive past a local taxi office. There’s usually a couple of taxis parked out front. In this particular location, it’s a major surface street, 2 lanes each way, and the street widens so that at the taxi office there is no parking, but 20ft further down the street there is a line of parking spots.
Where do they always park? Correct, where there isn’t a parking spot, so that the rightmost lane has to edge into the other lane to avoid the illegally parked taxi.
Today… a taxi was stopped dead in the traffic lane letting someone off at the office rather than pull forward a bit to use one of the half dozen empty parking spots.
Every time I pass I thank Uber for helping drive these businesses into the ground.
That is classic cabbie manœuvre.
I think it’s really a requirement that one truly not give a damn. Sure, they’ll often put on the four-way flashers. But, they’re gonna stop wherever they damn well please.
Meh…does it rise to the level of infuriating in my case?
Oh no. I can see the cabbies and avoid them just fine. Probably rage honk at them and flip em the bird at most, then continue on.
I reserve my true hatred, speaking of vehicular “traffic” for bicyclists (in general…those who treat their mode of transport with the gravity it deserves, and recognize that their instruments of vehicular transport can be as threatening and devastating as their heavier “cager” cousins…those can exist) and especially those overgrown children toddling around on those idiotic rent-a-scooter things.
Also skateboarders. When the hell did that become a thing for so-called adults to do? Maybe ten years ago or so. Nope. Absolutely not. Haven’t seen those specimens around in a while, though.
I was “infuriated” in San Francisco by single speed cyclists using the sidewalk instead of a bike lane, and going really fast. I was reliably informed one of them killed a small dog on a leash and another put a senior citizen lady in the hospital. Apparently after the accident he was very concerned- over the damage done to his bike.
The parking lot of the Planet Fitness I go to is oddly shaped, like many New England parking lots. People often park in a spot that’s not a marked space - it doesn’t block off other spaces, but it makes it a pain to get into and out of several other legal spaces. The lot is never near full at the times I go, so these people are being assholes to save 20 seconds of walking when they’re literally going to the gym to exercise. Makes my blood boil.
Something that bugs me is when I make an appointment online, and the web site offers to add an appointment to my calendar, and then it creates the calendar entry with a title that is meaningful to the organization I’m making an appointment with but not meaningful to me. The other day I made an appointment for a haircut, and instead of creating a calendar entry like “Haircut at XXX Barber”, it created “Mark Mylastname 30 minute cut”. I know my own name, that doesn’t need to be in the appointment title. But it WOULD be nice if you put the barbershop’s name in the title. Today I created a service appointment for my car. Again, instead of something useful to me like “DealerName Toyota Service”, it created “Service Appointment for 2018 Toyota”. Great, but I know what kind of car I have, and I know that entries in my calendar are generally appointments. How about something useful like the dealer’s name?
Forget about useful, putting the shop name in the appointment title is free advertising.
Meanwhile, since I always go to the same mechanic, my entries just get edited down to “car” because I don’t need anything other than the day and time in order to make it. Likewise, I have upcoming appointments for “vet”, “hair” and “Dr”. There’s only one place I go to for any of those things, so further details aren’t necessary.
Same for me - if for some reason I was going to the dealer rather than my regular mechanic , I’d still just put “dealer” , not the name of the dealer. Or maybe I’d just enter “recall”, since that’s the only reason I go to the dealer.
Shampoo and conditioner bottles. Especially the ones in hotels.
They tell you how great your hair will be ‘Silky Swamp Fresh’ or whatever.
Fine, whatever. What is it? Oh! In 8pt type it says shampoo or conditioner. Well I’m one of those oddballs that doesn’t wear reading glasses in the shower.
That!
Hilton Lisbon… 3 identical silver bottles with 8pt golden text in the shower
Along the same line, shampoo and conditioner in little plastic sachets like fast food ketchup packs. Impossible to open if your fingers are wet.
And never the right amount: too much shampoo for my short hair and too little shower gel for my body.
