Sad day today. My favourite pair of house/pj pants have come to a end. They're threadbare, the elastic has gone and now there's a hole where my crackhole is. We've had some good times, shared a lot of beer but it's time to let go of the 3/4 length polka dot favourites. πŸ˜”

and now there’s a hole where my crackhole is.

you fart too much and too potently

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I think you're correct. Blew a hole right through 'em.

in the tailoring profession this is known as a blow out n/k

It's a grief when a favorite garment finally gives up the ghost. Also applies to shoes. I will weep when my favorite dagging-around-at-home sandals finally cark it.

It’s especially bad when I can’t find any new clothes I like to replace them

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

good quality clothes are becoming difficult to find

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah even at higher price points

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is why when I find something I truely like I buy several of them

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah. Problem is I need to kind of live with something and wear it around to evaluate comfiness. As sometimes a quick try on isn’t enough. Then when I go back it’s gone or changed for the worse

Farewell to the PJ pants! It is sad when something that comfy finally gives in.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

I might have a valentine/farewell party tomorrow. Who am I kidding? I WILL be having a party tomorrow.

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You could patch the bunghole and replace the elastic /denial

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I would but they are actually classed as see-through now.

Just call it a fashion style. The Emperor's New Clothes collection.

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

RIP pj pants.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Yes, the rip is the problem
