    As a rule of thumb, if it’s uncomfortable for you, it’s safe to assume that at least 1 million other people find it uncomfortable too. Our personal experience is far from unique in a world full of 7 billion people.

    Changing to comfy pants as soon I step into the house is the largest quality of life improvement I’ve made to my life

    immediately changing into shorts or comparably comfy clothes, the second i get home. I will sometimes postpone errands because i don’t want to put on pants.

    the four levels of dress:

    1. going outside socially
    2. going outside chores
    3. being at home office
    4. being at home

    only two of these involve pants

      At first I thought your said only one of those needed pants and I was trying to figure out what chores outside the house didn’t require pants and just landed on “skirts are nice” lol

    She’ll need to have a chat with pretty much every southeast Asian. Home clothes are a must, especially when your outside clothes have just gone through 35 degrees C, heavy pollution, all the smells between heaven and hell, unknown liquids dripping from corrugated steel roofs. After all that, you just want to feel fresh.

    I’m retired, but I have 4 sets of clothes on “the chair” at all times - going to town clothes, yard work clothes, daytime pajamas (sweat pants and t-shirt) and after shower pajamas.

      My wife has banned The Chair.

      Otherwise it’s tees and cargo-shorts; but the Outside clothes needs to stay in a closet anyway to reduce the pet-hair-removal effort before I leave the house.

        Long ago men had perfected The Chair, but to our shame we have forgotten their hard won wisdom. The instinct remains, but the execution is a pale imitation of our past glory.

        It doesn’t have to be this way. Let me introduce you to the pinnacle of functional furniture: The Gentleman’s Valet. And yes, many of them were in fact customized chairs.

        I am living the shelf life. Just rows and rows of shelves. I can see all my stuff. I can throw all my stuff where ever.

        The shelf life is the way to be.

        My solution to people hating The Chair is a coat hanger. It does the exact same thing as The Chair in a way that appeases people since its only purpose is to hold clothes.

      I removed jeans from my wardrobe around high school and it has been nice.

      It helps that I’m a girl so I have a lot of socially acceptable non-jean options for bottoms.

    The day’s work done, I’m home at last to rest
    Be gone, Excel! Be gone, all office drama!
    I free myself from jacket, pants and vest
    And slink into my pink pyjama.

    Jeans are like my “wow I actually am autistic with how much I fucking hate jeans” as they set off every single touch sensation hatred every known to humans.

    Sweatpants or dresses or I explode. Kaboom!!
