....I had an off topic rant but by the time I read through everything my allergy addled brain went into shut down and I can't remember what I was going to rant about. :D

On a separate topic, if anyone actually tries mixing Pepsi with Coke please let us know what it tastes like. It would either be the greatest idea or the worst idea ever but it would be interesting.

My rant is why do they always make trouser legs and shirt sleeves so long?

I'm considered a tall guy, and they're always too long.

Can you imagine all the thousands of garments they make, it they sorted the lengths properly then they would be able to use fabric a lot more efficiently.

Not to mention, how long has mankind been making clothes for now? And still no one can get it right?

Seriously.

I understand this pain.

I am a woman who could use clothes from the juniors section because they fit my body but not my chest as they don't seem to make those clothes for women or girls with any chest at all when many of them do but the sleeves and shirt fit in other places just fine.
I could go to the women's section but some of the stuff they have there might be overly big on me. Its he same with pants. The legs are longer then they need to be for me.

I am stuck in an odd spot it seems.

I'm not trying to be inappropriate with saying all this and I am sure I am not the only women with this problem.

It still tastes like soda. I mix stuff all the time. Sodas and sweet tea, juices and sodas and teas. I even made my own soft drink using roots, fruit, leaves, and barks. (Even going so far as to caramelize the sugar for the proper color). The first few had a really, really strong flavor, but eventually I got it right.

WHY DO THEY PUT POTATO CHIPS IN A BAG AND NOT A BOX? IF THEY CAME IN A BOX I COULD PUT THEM AWAY NEATLY ON A SHELF INSTEAD OF HAVING TO ROLL UP THE TOP AND LAY THEM ON A TABLE!!!!!!!

THERE IS A SQUIRREL THAT KEEPS POOPING IN MY YARD!!!! I WANT THAT SQUIRREL TO DIE!!!!

WHY IS THERE PIZZA DELIVERY AND CHINESE DELIVERY BUT NO TACO BELL OR MC DONALD"S DELIVERY!!!! DOES THIS MEAN THAT MEXICAN'S AND AMERICANS ARE NOT AS HARD WORKING AS ITALIAN'S AND CHINESE!!!!

WHY IS THERE A WATER FAUCET IN MY KITCHEN AND BATHROOM BUT NOT ONE IN MY BEDROOM WHERE I REALLY NEED ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!!!

You not supposed to reply to any rant made on this thread otherwise you staying on topic.

Well, we weren't expressly forbidden from staying on topic. So since other threads often allow a little bit of off-topic conversation as long as it returns to the topic, shouldn't this thread be allowed to stay on topic occasionally, provided that it goes off topic again before too long?

My rant is why do they always make trouser legs and shirt sleeves so long?

I'm considered a tall guy, and they're always too long.

I actually tend to have the opposite problem. I've found that as sizes go up, clothes get wider quick than they get longer. So being thin, I end up with clothes that are looser than I would like just so that I have them long enough.

And I should probably rant before I get into trouble. :wink:

Why do so many shoe stores pretty much not stock anything above two sizes smaller than I take? Shoe shopping is a pain because I battle to find anything in the right size, and it can result in me buying a pair which I would rather not buy, but I'm forced to because there's just nothing else available that fits.

I'm 6"2', which while tall isn't excessively so, meaning that there will be a reasonably sized portion of the shoe-buying public who are faced with the same problem. So why are those of us with larger feet not being catered for?

First world problem - lack of sewing machines has led to this mess. I propose every home instal their own sewing machine right away and make their own clothing, in short or long hem styles, and go barefoot. PROBLEM solved.

sounds like an abomination to me. God doesn't like mixtures. You either have pure coke, or pure pepsi. No half breed drinks please.
