[Rant & Rave!]

I have found a situation that I want to rant about, and while I could have done so before, seeing the new forum triggered the rant

Clothing manufacturers. They are a bunch of lying bastards. Yes. I said it.

Why is it, I can buy 2 pairs of pants. Pair 1: 44 inch waist. The second, 46 inch waist. I can wear the 44.... but not the 46???

(this is in the past mind you, they both damn near fall off me now).

What the heck, is there a world shortage of tape measures?? Did I get shorted on material??

Bastards!!

Okay. I'm done

I don't know how someone screwed up the inches measurement in your pants, but I really really wish that womens clothing was sized that way. Yes, women would have to look at how many inches their waist was every time they wanted to buy a pair, but you could TELL someone what SIZE you are, and they could buy you a pair of pants in that size and have some reasonable expectation that they would fit!

I have 2 pairs of 16's that I bought of the SAME BRAND of jeans, just a different cut. One fit, and the other I found out when I got home it was too small. Fortunately, I have resized myself to fit in them, and now thing that MAYBE if I went to the store I might find a pair of 14's that fit, but even if that's true, there are still 18's and 20's that "fit" and aren't to big. *SOB*

Bras are no better.

Lmao...ok just a quick hyjack.... I AM TROLLING FOR 10K FOR A BAND...hehehehehehehe and i got PAYPAL!!!!!!! ok sorry back to your inches....lol Dude know how you feel, why does a girl have to pay 20 more dollars for 2 more inches????? ITS HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!!!! And another note, why cant bigger size clothing be more fashionable???? Sheesh... I swear I am going to bust out my sewing machine soon

because there is some rule that if you are fat you must wear loud flower prints, neon colors, shirts with embroidered teddy bears holding balloons and wearing sailor hats, and moomoos in the ugliest 70's rayon designs ever made. the normals figure if they dress us bad we will get sick of being fat and lose the weight.

*Emphatically nodding in agreement*

And at least rayon is humane, what is that scratchy synthetic that they make into summer clothes? You know, the pieces with exposed elastic in the waist...

Maybe it is to make us easier to spot? Many a time I've been told "oh sorry didn't see you there".

I'm sorry, a 6' 4" tall man with 100 pounds of excess body fat is SO hard to spot, I'll just go paint myself neon green to make life easier for you. Perhaps some kind of audible warning "AWOOOGA FAT BASTARD APPROACHING... AWOOOGA NORMS BEWARE".

I'm blind (legally) and I make the effort to spot even the smaller humans whenever possible. Maybe I'll just tread on the skinny bastards and when they complain, suggest they go wear a large flower print moomoo.

The worm (or in my case, elephant seal) has turned!! Muahahahahahaaaaar!!

I would like to take this opportunity to mention in reference to Wal-Mart, which was referenced earlier in this thread:

Boycott Walmart!

For so, so, so many reasons. Walmart sucks.
