LucyStoner Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So while standing in line to get milkshakes for my sons, I noticed a woman ahead of me wearing low rise, skin tight skinny denim...overalls. I thought the combination couldn't get anymore unattractive until she turned to go and realized they were intentionally distressed all up and down the front to the point of being strings. Any one element on it's own, ok. All together it was a bit of a sight to see. I will no longer feel inappropriately dressed in a t-shirt and fairly ugly but comfy soft twill skirt. Anyone else have a "not a great combination" story to share? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Frog Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 We watched a TED talk about crazy inventions that were patented. One of them was a spinning delivery table. Strap the in-labor woman down to the table and spin it to allow gravity to help with the delivery. I couldn't find how the doctor would catch (find?) the baby after it had been spun out. Also unknown is how sick the new mother would be after all that spinning. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 We saw a woman at the St. Louis Science Center that must have been crazy. She was probably in her 60's. She was with a couple in their 40's and some kids (adults and kids looked normal). The older woman was wearing a black shiny body suit that was so short her cheeks were literally peeking out the bottom. The V on the front went nearly to her navel exposing some sad cleavage. She had a black leather jacket over it and her blush was so dark red that it had to have been lipstick. We were sitting in the food court and watched her go up the stairs to the second floor. Every person she passed did a double take. It was quite amusing and a little sad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember their clothing exactly - but it was in the same genre - and didn't adequately cover the territory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyGF Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My dad was told this story on a cruise by a Danish civil servant. Apparently, in Denmark, you can call a number to report foolish behavior. A man called it to report his neighbor. This civil servant came out... and found that the man who had called was on a ladder painting his house trim. The problem? The ladder was on a truck which his friend was driving while the man painted so he could get all his trim. The civil servant didn't bother to check on the person the man on the ladder had reported.

Cindy in FL. Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Let this be on record I have tried to stop these horrible combinations but the males in this house like to live on the edge. They might have even mixed a pattern with camo as well. I'm pretty sure dh left the house once with shorts and argyle socks and tennis shoes :lol: I have pulled ds aside before to tell him things don't match and he is like, "I don't care." Ok, buddy. Glad you're leaving the house with Dad!! LOL One of my sons does stripes with camo. Unrepentantly. He also does stripes with plaid. It pains me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Wow, so many good things already.

Carrie12345 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I don't like to judge what other people wear. But I DO really wish more women would understand the importance of checking legging opaqueness. Especially before they use the stair machine right in front of the cardio room entrance. Or, at the very least, wear underwear. I'm just saying. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My oldest insisted on getting button up short-sleeve shirts in a size 7-8 (because he's almost 8), even though they're clearly way too big and he should've gotten at least one size smaller. Paired with really short shorts it looks like he's walking around in just a button up shirt. I try to avoid that combo, but he's worn that at least once out and about (the shirt he wore was dark blue with little white line drawings of rockets and skate boards and the like). I don't remember what shoes he wore with that... maybe the pink sparkly ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily Wait! He didn't check on the other guy? Given that standing on a ladder that was balanced on a moving vehicle was apparently NOT foolish in this man's mind, I think anything he reported as foolish would probably require the person to be locked up for his or her own safety and that of those around them. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rompers on grown people (or really, anyone over the age of 3 or 4 and even that's questionable since you know, it's not the seventies anymore) bring to mind some kind of weird fetish, like baby doll dresses or Catholic school girl outfits or something. Ick ick ick. Creepy is the right word! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
