I’m a woman; I’m not allowed pockets. The pants I’m wearing actually have things that look like pockets, but are totally fake. :rolleyes: ---

> [@MoonMoon](#): > > I’m a woman; I’m not allowed pockets. > > The pants I’m wearing actually have things that look like pockets, but are totally fake. :rolleyes: I know. I’m in the same boat right now. Nothing in my pockets because I don’t have any. Don’t you hate having to decide if you really want to buy those pants that fit so well, but don’t have usable pockets? I’ve actually got a pair of shorts that have a pocket that zippers closed. Except when you unzip the top (yes, there is a working zipper) there is no pocket behind it. All the cost and work, none of the storage. ---

I don’t buy pants with no pockets. Hell, I don’t even buy PAJAMAS with no pockets. I have allergies. There’s kleenex in every pocket, all the time. ---
