“Imagine if we all decided to ditch pants when we step outside. If enough of us agree, we can make it happen. Let’s end this pants nonsense for good!”
Honestly, you’re speaking to the right audience here. Moms everywhere don’t need convincing that pants can be a complete nightmare. We all understand the appeal of going without, and we probably have a few more complaints to add.
Jake Thompson has what many would consider the ultimate gig: enjoying a glass (or three) of wine while venting about life. Each week, he’s paid by Buzzfeed to get tipsy at his desk and share his thoughts on camera. What did this guy do to earn such a sweet deal in his previous life?
In previous episodes, Jake has ranted about everything from parenting struggles to holiday chaos. This week, however, he humorously turns his attention to the dreaded topic of pants:
“Shopping for pants feels like a cruel joke. I didn’t spend years in school just to waste my time squeezing my thighs into a fabric trap. Trying on pants is a total mind game. You take off your shoes, you’re starving, and suddenly you’re overwhelmed with confusion. You have tears streaming down your face, and you don’t even remember why. All of this just to fit into a piece of cloth that reminds you how much weight you’ve gained since the last time you tried them on.”
Wow! Couldn’t have said it better myself. This is a hilarious take on something we all have to wear but can bring about major stress at times. You might just laugh to keep from crying.
Jake perfectly articulates the frustrations of pants. Just imagine the epic rant he’d unleash if he had to deal with a bra, a belly band, or even a bikini? Buzzfeed might need to find a female counterpart to tackle those topics.
