Stupid little frustrations in life.
Permalink  

Do you ever come across simple things that turn out to be epics?I have a daily ritual when dressing in the mornings.Don't laugh,but putting on my underpants whilst standing on one leg,grasp underpants by elastic waistband,lift up leg to slip underpants onto leg.........problem toes catch on underpants and will not dislodge, at the same time hopping around trying to keep your balance,eventually toes let underpants go, more drama underpants have turned themselves around and now we start again.Eventually get there.Sometimes lean on the pedestal fan for support only problem is the fan thinks I want to dance with it so it moves,disaster,one hand on underpants,other one on the fan,leg in the air ,toes caught in underpants again,other leg up to now has been well behaved,not for long it wants to play hopping around the room.End result,all fall on to the bed and utter severe Navy oaths.Wife comes into bedroom makes classic statement ,thus"If you got that fat gut off you,you would be able to see what you are doing".As young Ned once said"Such is life"Cheers.Ibbo.winkbiggrin

Somehow Ibbo...............you have the happy knack of making the easiest jobs sound so damned complicated. After reading that, I think I may sit down to get dressed.

Could it be you are still recovering from the Yummies and the eyes are telling you that you actually lifted your leg higher than you really did?? Sounds like your bedroom would be a real hoot in the mornings. Do me a video.............make sure it has sound as I want to learn some new words and send it over.

Extremely well described Ibbo. I have long been a performer in the "Jocks" waltz. For a minute I didn't think anyone else would go through the same morning dance. What is it with jocks, they seem to have an inbuilt ability to get caught between your toes. As Dave said I now sit on the side of the bed, hook the errant piece of clothing over one foot then stand up. Seems to work but for how long, who knows.

I have solved the undies problem - I just buy large nappies - very easy to put on & only 2 little tabs to attach, and comfy to.
Now, when I have a little bottom burp - and follow through.... I only need to dispose of them in the correct manner & slip another one on..
Hope this information has been most helpful to you Ibbo - Disco I've sent you a years supply, keep eye out for semi trailer arriving soon.........

Hi Guys,
This would work for you too.  I have found, as the others said, sitting on the end of the bed makes it easy.  Sit down lean back a little, lift both feet off the floor at the same time, put feet in leg-holes, and stand up.
That's how I put on slacks- jeans etc.
Cheers,
xina.

Thanks Biggles.................make sure they are super large. Big burps here....... but I don't think you want to hear about that. I could maybe put one in a bottle and send it over to you. Give me your address.

Jeez Biggles, thanks for sharing. That was just a little bit too much information.
Why is it that something we've been doing as long as we can remember, or not, becomes harder as the years go on and the body refuses to co-operate?
If it looks as hysterical as it reads, the procedure must be the highlight of your day, and just think of the exercise.

It wasn't difficult until Ibbo had a go at it Granny. Now I've fallen over three times just thinking about it!!

I don't have the problem Granny...................I put them on before I get out of bed.

The only problem then is making sure I land on my feet when I make the BIG leap out.!!

Fellow Undies putter on ers.The suggestion of sitting on the edge of the bed is great.But with a water bed that has a mind of it's own you are better off doing the bloody Pedestal waltz.Our water bed knows exactly the fulcrum point when both feet are in the underpants,smart thing,knows that you are going to lean back to pull up your daks,what does it do? Thinks uuuuuuuumph about time we had a tidal wave,put all the water to the foot of the bed,ooops legs in the air,fall backwardsAnd then the voice utters the dreaded words again.............."If you didn"t have that gut you wouldn't be lying on your back like a beached Whale".Thank christ I don't wear pantyhose........................Disco dont go there mate.Cheers.Ibbo.winkbiggrin

Perhaps Cindy should change the name of this forum to Monty Python's Grey Nomads

We already have Basil Fawlty, where's Manuel?

I'm not admitting to any of this....
I overcame the problem simply, cross dress, wear a kilt.

I must admit a certain liking for the Asian 'lunghi' especially in the hot and humid seasons.

Basil cross dressing???my undies are cross with the rest of my personal bits.I go to my underwear drawer and if I listen carefully I hear them say to each other "If that bum is riding his bike today I will just not absorb his magic movements".I guess if you wear a Kilt it can make you feel ****y.Cheers.Ibbo.

I thought you would still be sleeping in a hammock Ibbo. Waterbed?? A bit flash for an old matloe isn't it?

Now there's the picture to turn the ladies of the forum on. Ibbo with a big gut rolling around naked on a waterbed with his jocks half on. The ladies would be out of control if they could see that!! Women would be leaving their husbands everywhere. We need the video mate.

Making love on a waterbed is great................you pump once and free-wheel for the next six.


Gary........yeah!! ....Youtube...................... or Funniest home videos??
