A supervisor in our housekeeping dept would order the offender to either pull up his pants or clock out. She told this guy to clock out and either go home to get a belt to hold up his pants or not come back to work. He didn't last long at all.

That's good! No matter the department or the scope of business, some form of professional look is important, saggie/baggies with the underwear hanging out is uncalled for. Unfortunate that that this guy didn't care or know the importance of it all hence a short employment.

The sagging pants phenomenon is not new. In the late 80's early 90's, Kids started to wear there pants much looser than before. This proceeded to guys sagging there pants. I just can't believe that after all these years, it's still popular. I'm 32 and can't believe these kids are still doing something that we did so long ago. It's not like a style that came back because it never changed. The new generation just don't seem to know how to come up with something new and different. Young males have been wearing baseball caps, sagging jeans and timberland boots for like 20 years now. We have parents and kids dressing alike now LOL. The parents are still wearing what they wore in high school and the kids are doing the same because it's still in fashion LOL.

That is an American invention. They are considered cool only here, in other places - just ridiculous. Nobody else on the planet wears baseball caps with these pants.
That being said, it was meant to be a statement. Its an anti establishment declaration saying - "we are different". We wear our clothes like in jail. That's the urban trend.

I am constantly telling my boys to pull their pants up. I have even told them if I couldn't have seen how your dads butt filled out his jeans I never would have married him. I think the whole fad is sickening. What is worse, when you see these boys with their hands deep in their pockets trying to hold their pants up.

I live in an urban area and see this more often than not. While I do feel an exposed butt crack is a bit much I just try to ignore it and go about my business. Live and let live, so to speak. I wore all kinds of outrageous outfits in the 80's and I don't really see this as anything more than the same sort of self expression only in a different decade.

I think they're advertising that they are brain dead morons. Maybe the next "trend" will be tying their right and left shoe laces together and hobbling along. That would make them look so cool!

I wish I could walk up behind some idiot wearing his pants that way and give him a wedgy he would never forget!

Frankly, I would rather see them in skirts. We have a few guys from Thailand around here, and they wear fisherman's pants. I would have no problem with American men wearing sarongs, as long as they behave, but then again, a weirdo will be weird no matter what he's wearing.
