I was out at a local restaurant yesterday evening on my dinner break when in walked a young couple that sat at a table next to mine.
While they were eating I over heard her ask him how his job hunt was going. He replied that it wasn't going to well. I listened a little more and nearly laughed out loud when he said people don't show him any respect.
I thought to myself....
If you dressed a little more respectfully and quit showing your half your ass to everyone else (children included) you might appear more respectable. Dress like a thug, get treated like a thug. Who wants to hire someone who looks like an idiot with their ass hanging out of their pants. I've had some of my employees wear their saggy-butt pants to work, and I tell them quickly..."I didn't hire you to work with one hand while you hold your pants up with the other. I tell them they have 2 choices.
1. Pull your pants up, cover their ass and get back to work.
or
2. Clock out and leave the property, and I will replace you with someone that knows how to properly dress at a place of employment.
OMG!
I sound like my dad!
I must be getting old.
;D

Yes, you do sound like your Daddy, Sweeper, but that's a good thing!
You can never make a second "first impression", and how one presents themself-especially when seeking a job-sets 90% of a perspective employers opinion. Depending on one's credentials, schooling, and/or experience (which would need to be strong) written on an application or resume; dressing in saggy-pants or "THUG-wear" just might get your application put in the circular file before it's even read. It doesn't matter what type of job it's for, every employer assumes that when someone is applying for a position that they're putting their best foot forward. Unfortunately, the baggy pants style has become a more than a fad, it's a fashion statement, and not one welcomed in the professional arena.

when i see these guys with their saggy pants, i watch them. sometimes they are walking spraddle legged trying to keep them from falling off. i have actually told a few. 'do you know what you look like with your legs spred trying to keep your pant up?' couple said, 'i look cool,' or im hip hop' i will replie, ' no, you look like a baby with a diaper full of poop trying to walk. they spred their legs and walk just like you do. they just look at me. and i just turn around and walk off.

this is one of my all time pet peeves. I see it all the time in our town....black kids and white too. I just wonder how their parents can let them leave the house like that.

My oldest nephew tried to do the saggy pants thing. It ended when I brought out my staple gun and threatened to pull his pants up and staple them to his ears.
His stepdad would keep asking him if he filled his drawers up with poop ( especially in front of his friends! ). After being teased for awhile, he quit wearing saggy pants at home.
I won't tolerate the droopy drawers at home or at work. Since I'm a Team Leader, I've let it be known that if I catch one person deliberately letting their pants droop down pass the halfway mark on their ass, plant protection would be called and they would be escorted off plantsite.

Ratman will tell you I say pretty much what I want to these days and I usually will say uh excuse me did you know your underwear was showing lol. Or I have been known to just flat tell them you look an idiot dressed like that.
Course these days I am on a walker all bent over and been declared loony so I guess they pay no attention to me.
Seriously though it all starts at home being raised to be modest and decent. We cannot expect our children to dress and act right when so many of the parents do not dress or act right.

thankfully, my son never went through that stage. On the subject of not being taken serious when job hunting.... Hubz and I have some "hillbilly" friends and they will job hunt 1. together 2. asking for an application after buying beer 3. going 'hunting' while dressed in too big or torn up clothing... Why oh why can't i find a job?  we actually had a "mini intervention" here at the house for the guy. oh my gosh. DUDE. go to the goodwill, buy something nice and wear it to job hunt. brush yer hair, brush yer teeth and don't buy beer while asking for an application..... common sense!! |

Why oh why can't i find a job? I've seen alot of people like this at various job fairs and temp agencies. They just can't seem to understand why they can't get a permanent job somewhere!  we actually had a "mini intervention" here at the house for the guy. oh my gosh.

Its funny I never seen the girls wear those things.. Hey you guys what cha doin lookin down there any way?? If I was younger (say about 18) I think I would just go up to one of the baggy pants boys.. You know the ones that don't wear no underwear. (Well I had to look!) I go up to him and just give it a good yank and let him be proud of what in front of him!! giggles ;D |

It really puzzles me how these young men can walk w/their pants around their ankles, but I saw one that seemed to have figured it out. His shorts were sewn onto the bottom of the underwear! The reason I noticed (I'm way too observant) is the fact he was walking normal. Usually, their walk, or attempt at walking, gives them away. My cop friend told me to hope this fad continues. He said it's a lot easier to catch a perp running when he gets tangled in his underwear. ;D

Your cop friend must not patrol in the inner city.
Those baggy pants are great for hiding guns tied to their legs.
Very dangerous for cops.

I have to agree with everything I've read here, BUTT , lol I have to look over my shoulder every time someone leaves my cab and I can tell you it's a growing trend among older bigger people to go commando and their pants don't stay up. ewww. I wish some would take the kids que and go back to boxers.  |
