Title: Casual Observations!
Post by: guesswho on February 08, 2020, 01:37:22 PM
Not turkey related, but worth sharing.

I had to get a battery for my cell phone today.  That required me to go to the mall.  I haven't been to our mall in at least 10 years.   If you ever start to feel bad about yourself, go to the mall.   I just thought I was screwed up.   Some casual observations.

1.   I saw at least 20 women with 52" rear ends, squeezed into 24" stretch pants.   They may not have started out as stretched pants, but they were stretched to the max.

2.  I saw 15-20 men with 30" rear ends in 50" jeans.  One hand holding up the jeans, and the other hand holding a cell phone.   I started to follow one to the bathroom to see how that whole process works, but decided to pass.

3.  I saw a 25 to 30 year old male, dressed like a 10 year old Punky Brewster.  He was bouncing a balloon off his nose all through the mall.   He was there the entire time I was there.  I give him credit, the balloon never hit the ground, but it did hit the wall a couple of times.

4.  20% of the people were wearing pajamas. 

5.  About 3% of those were wearing opposite gender pajamas. 

6.  I saw 3 different people wearing 2 hats and 2 pairs of sunglasses.

Just some casual observations from a bored turkey hunter forced to go into  the real world for about an hour.

Times have really changed since I was growing up. Never would you catch me in some skinny jeans , jeans with designs and rhinestones on the butt or piercings in my ears or face.

You and me both buddy, I haven't been to a mall in years here in the US. In the 80s and 90s that was the place to go remember guys and the fashion then it seems wouldn't look as strange as some of the things you seen today.

I think it's a competition these days to see who can look the stupidest.

As hard as it is to believe, I would have finished way back in the pack.

This guy in front of me at the check out was holding his pants up with one hand and trying to pay the clerk and his pants fell around his ankles.

That is to funny, I will never go to a mall again, my parents are 90 and 89 and they  live in a rural area and I go to the local Wal mart for them, the last few times at check out I have been behind someone that had a soiled diaper and it was not a child....

Bless whoever invented yoga pants.

But they shouldn't be made over about size 8.

From what I saw, it wouldn't matter.   They can still manage to get them on somehow.

I was actually thinking today about how long it had been since I had been to the mall. Seen a news article about the mall kitchens being a ghost town. I guess because of internet sales. It used to be the place to go when I was chasing tail. I think I'll continue shopping at home based on your observations. About everything is overpriced anyway.

I've never understood why so called guys want to have pants hanging down.
One time I was watching a episode of COPS and the guy tried running with his pants like that. They ended up falling down and tripping him up. Needless to say the cops caught him. That's about as dumb as the one where a crook was wearing shoes that flashed when they were chasing him in the dark.
Evidently these people think it's kool looking like idiots.
That's why I work for myself and only frequent shopping places to go in and get what I already know that I need and get the heck out of dodge.

Pfft, You can get that show and more at a local Walmart here. My wife shops at two basically, one is in a very urban area overrun with transplants and the other in a smaller more rural town. You'd think the more upscale urban area store would be the nicer place to shop. It ain't. A freak show there on every trip. The redneck town has nice folks, clean and well stocked store.

In Costco about a month ago and there was a girl wearing flesh colored yoga pants. At first glanced I thought she was naked from the waist down,

Sadly, it's the state our country is in. Weirdos are becoming the norm, and they look at normal people like us as the oddballs. Why do you think that half of America wants to vote for Bernie and get socialism? That's why I'm fixing my house up to sell, and moving to the country. I can't take the "normal people" any more.

Walmart has far more interesting people than most malls...

Every generation has "trendy" fashion statements which seem to run against all logic...  Looking back in the 80's with big hair, mullets, parachute pants, bright plaid, leg warmers, etc...

I have my own office as an eye doctor...  I am always surprised at how many people were PJ's to the examination (whether at 8 AM or 3 PM).  Many times I am surprised at what patients think is appropriate to wear to an eye examination, and when hiring, I am amazed at what people think is appropriate to wear when dropping off a resume or even to an interview.

Walmart still takes the cake though...  Some interesting outfits...  Some with creative ways to show off pubic hair.
