Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 14, 2023

Yeah?

If I relax, they fall down.

Yes, I wear relaxed fit pants, but have lost some weight lately.

Relaxed fit pants go better with pandemic mode dress, which is still popular with the huge continuing number of teleworkers.

A plugger needs more relaxation time anyway, if he’s not retired already.

“Relaxed fit” — an oxymoron?

I guess it could be said that you know you’re a Plugger if your waist goes out more than you do. ;/

Not here … Thank You ;)

Mine have a skosh more room.

Relaxed fit goes along with retired quite well.

That’s why I wear a lot of leggings, so my pants won’t fall down.

You are a plugger if your belt size is more than ½ of your height.

“Relaxed fit” shoes are nice. A bit wider across the toes.

Too Many Happy Meals?? (see Thanks)

They call them relaxed fit but either jeans still fit me either too tight or like a darn circus tent ..lol

I’ve been at ‘boot cut’ for some time now. Only slightly easier on the ego since I rarely wear boots.

Again with the overweight plugger jokes. Not all pluggers are..

Husband has a problem with his jeans (any pants) always sliding down and he gets very annoyed and frustrated. I can solve this problem in one of two ways – or both together.

First, I don’t carry a purse and fit everything I need in the two front pockets of my jeans – but he has his cell phone and a small bottle of hand sanitizer hanging from his belt and it weighs too much, along with wallet, pocket knife, keys, tissues, small pen, heavy pill box with 2 days pills, and anything else he might need in his pockets. I carry my wallet (a men’s wallet duplicate of his), my cell phone (no case, in pocket), Space pen, tiny bottle of hand sanitize, tiny spray bottle of alcohol, & tiny, light pill box – holds 2 pills, keys are in my pocket in warm weather or jacket pocket in cold weather – and I have my back pockets empty to hold folded up plastic shopping bags when we go shopping (state no longer allows same to be distributed by stores and stores can charge for paper bags unless local government has a fee for same). I don’t have a belt – my jeans are elastic waist (okay, I understand he needs to have a fly on his and can’t wear same).

Second, a good deal of the problem – he has a hernia. So his jeans sit under a BIG bump in his lower stomach area. The jeans are sitting on a downhill angle and they slide down it.

If he took the stuff out of his pockets when home it would be much easier on him – and does he really need the house and the keys to all 3 of our vehicles, etc while IN the house? He says “what if we need to run out of the house” both doors can be opened from inside – kitchen door needs a key, but while in house one is left in same.

Dread the day his hernia strangulates & we have to run to the hospital to deal with it & he will take all of this with him (he does not empty pockets while in the house), but at least surgery will probably solve the problem of his jeans sliding down.
