WHY DO WOMENS CLOTHES HAVE FAKE STITCHED UP POCKETS?

If you're going to put a pocket in clothes, why stitch it up again?

Is it just me who's always pulling them apart to get into the pocket that is actually there but has just been stitched back up?

WHY.

WHY.

I can go one better than that. Some clothes have what to all intents and purposes appears to be a pocket, but there is no actual pocket bag attached

Next have form for doing this. I guess it's cheaper to manufacture clothes this way.

Why are there pockets in baby clothes???? Used to wrecked my head when ironing
They're the perfect size for the baby to keep her lighter in one pocket and ten Marlboro Lights in the other.

@00100001 maybe we know the same person?! 🤣

@TheFoundations I end up snapping at her IT LIVES IN THE KEY SAFE MARY and then she looks really wounded. And the same thing happens again with the next question... 🤯

@ChirpyChirp

If she's still got both eyes, she's very lucky.

I interrupt people who do this, and sharply say 'Did you ask me because you want me to tell you the answer?' It doesn't make them like me, but frankly, I'm not liking them very much at that moment either!

New pencils which are unsharpened. Why do some pencil manufacturers do this?
I assume it's a cost thing. They would cost more to manufacture (and therefore be more expensive for the consumer) if each one had to be sharpened.

Why are you ironing baby clothes? seems like a much more reasonable question than why do baby clothes have pockets.

Why do you have to sit outside someones house in skyrim and wait for them to wake up. It's obvious everyone is at the pub pissed there's literally nothing else to do apart from crafting and reading.

Maybe fighting and being a werewolf

When someone drives at 40mph in a 60mph zone, where it’s perfectly safe to go 60mph, then continues at 40mph when they go through a 30mph. Gives me the utter rage

@Sexnotgender

The little loops of ribbon inside T-shirts, or if you buy from seasalt one bit of ribbon that goes across the neck.

What. The. Fuck. Is. It. For?

You loop them over the hook of a coat hanger to stop the item falling off.

Why are men's shirts sold in packs with cellophane, cardboard, clips and pins while women's shirts are sold from hangers?

Seesawmummadaw · 14/09/2021 19:06

People who break whenever another vehicle comes towards them ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD ! Angry

My husband who thinks that the bathroom floor is a laundrette.

Gingernaut · 14/09/2021 19:09

The pockets flaps in coats and jackets with no pockets.

Just the flaps stitched in as a style detail and no pockets at all.

Makes me want to SCREAM

People who attempt to cross the road mere feet/meters away from a pedestrian crossing! It’s so odd!

OMG just walk a few steps and use the fucking crossing 🤬

*Ha! My niece's school emailed parents the lunch time before the first day of term to announce that every child must wear black trainers from the first day of term. Shoes will not be allowed.

Cue hundreds of emails into the school...

Who thought that the afternoon before the start of a new year was a sensible time to tell parents about this new rule? confused*

I remember my secondary school doing this (back in the dark ages), except they did it on day two of the Autumn term. It basically meant that every single parent wrote in (no email) to say that they had already bought the new school uniform and wouldn't be buying the new, stricter uniform that no one had thought to mention at the end of the summer term.

Where would you suggest babies keep their stuff?

Why do some schools still have skirt-only uniform for girls? How is it allowed?

ChristmasCocktail · 14/09/2021 19:35

Why the fudge do they keep mentioning "lock down"? DONT DO IT BORIS.

@heymammy

Those lunch box packets of mini oreos that are joined together with perforations. They never bloody separate properly and you end up with a hole in one of the packets...raaaaage
But surely that’s great as then you have to eat it immediately

Why do slippers come on mini coat hangers?
Why are sanitary products wrapped in the loudest paper available to man? However discreet you try to be people in the cubicle 3 doors down can hear
