Because I'm AWESOME.

Before my tale of awesome, a brief rant.

Why do pants with shallow pockets even exist? The last two pairs of jeans have had pockets so shallow that my keys and bus pass keep falling out of them. It's never been something I even thought to check when clothes shopping considering... why would jeans have pockets you can't put things in? What would be the point? AND YET.

Anyway, this is important because I was wearing a pair of those yesterday. When we were at the checkout at the grocery store, I noticed that my keys were not actually in my pocket. So I backtracked all through the store trying to spot them on the floor. No dice. So I hoped they had fallen out in the car and were sitting on the seat. Which... they weren't.

Halfway home, I reached into my coat pocket...

Yeah.

Yeah, jeans with shallow pockets suck. I think I shall make sure to check the pockets out BEFORE I buy my next pairs of jeans because the one pair I had with shallow pockets (they had a hole in them and have been sacrificed to the sewing gods now) really annoyed me because I like to not carry a purse around a lot of the time.

But that is hilarious and awesome, go you.

I hate those pants! I'm pretty sure it's a girl pants thing. Like, they expect girls to carry purses and not ever use their pockets for anything other decoration. :\

So I was reading your post, grinning like an idiot, and all prepared to make a 'It was in your other pocket/boot' joke when I went to comment and my phone finally showed me your tag and icon. I feel so redundant now. :P

This is true. Hey that could be one of the secret handshake things if there was a X-Wing pilot secret society. Making other boot jokes and all.

...okay, that was a lot funnier in my head. :p

When you find the answer to that, see if it's accompanied by the answer as to why I cannot buy dress pants THAT DON'T HAVE THE POCKETS SEWN SHUT!

My theory is that early AI tests that were unsuccessful were turned over to the design and manufacture of women's clothing. Possibly as part of an antifeminist campaign to frustrate us so much we'll stay home, depending on how much I've had to drink when I expound on it. Having never actually SEEN an actual human woman, they don't really know how to make clothes that are USEFUL.
