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˜”

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 3 weeks ago (1 children)

good quality clothes are becoming difficult to find

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah even at higher price points

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks 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

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

you fart too much and too potently

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

Sulphur fumes have rotted the cloth.

Farewell to the PJ pants! It is sad when something that comfy finally gives in. Do we need to hold a service?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

Yes, the rip is the problem

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

You could patch the bunghole and replace the elastic /denial

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