who the hell decided it would be a good idea to put BUTTON fly's on pants? it's a fucking pain in the ass trying to undo them all when your busting to take a leak, and then spend another 20 minutes trying to do them back up again when your finished, 'specially when the buttons are really small. what was wrong with zips? it's not as though it's some sort of fashion statement, no one's gonna criticise you for having a zip fly. what's the point?

I hate those things. When you're down the pub after a few drinks it's like having to complete an elaborate puzzle just to take a piss.

it's almost like a de-evolution or pants. "hey, this zipper thingy works great, let's replace it with something 10 times as tacky and annoying"

I'm implying that there have indeed been stupider inventions.

Not really the point here, but THE stupidest invention is the DVD re-winder.

If there is a point, why did you buy/wear those pants in the first place?..

The worst invention i think is the battery powered battery charger.

When i was going to school in England I used to have pants that had a clip kind of thing instead of a button.

Basically you pulled the clips apart and the pants were undone

Very easy and convenient

Wow, i've never seen anything like that. I would like to try those out. I'm constantly having problems undoing buttons on some of my older pants. I always test them out before I buy new pants.

I have one pair and I have that same problem with them. I don't really mind them though apart from that.

Hold at the top and then pull apart - the other three or four buttons just fall apart. Trust me, button flies in my jeans aren't inconvenient to undo - it's worse when you snag your boxers in the zip when you're trying to undo them in a rush.

and then spend another 20 minutes trying to do them back up again when your finished, 'specially when the buttons are really small.

Well, get some other trousers then, if you don't like the way that they interrupt your busy schedule.

what was wrong with zips? it's not as though it's some sort of fashion statement, no one's gonna criticise you for having a zip fly. what's the point?

When Levi Strauss invented jeans, there was no such thing as a zip - he had to use button flies and as a result, some manufacturers use the "retro" style these days.

But talking of useless inventions, those plastic shoe covers that forensic scientists wear are just a freaking joke - four steps and they've worn right out.

I personally like the button one feels like a more secure fit for my oh so delicate package. The zipper ones seem to always find their way of undoing themselves dont have the problem with the buttons. =)


If you're Reading my post this is most likely the end of the thread seeming as how I've killed it. Sorry

Only thing worse than buttons is those clips, where you have to force the one metal bit over the other until one of them just snaps off and you have to buy some new ones.

Guys have you ever had a pair of jeans where the zip comes down on it's own, or when you put your hands in your pockets?

That's why buttons are a good idea, much stronger than any of the alternatives and less likely to break or get your foreskin caught.

I remember those - they were amazing. Definitely convienient and at such a young age, you're going to enjoy things that can be done with ease. Wow, mentioning those have really brought back some memories, lol. Before I know it, I'll be ranting about how Pokemon was better in the 90s. :(

BEWARE!

The zipper will get your penis!

Always make sure to put the penis away before zipping up. Especially if you are 4 years old wearing the pajamas with the feet!

Wow, why is that actaully a thing? Surely someone involved with the company that made this must have just thought for a second "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just... What the fuck?"


Just a thought...
