Ongoing News of Things That Annoy Me

I went to Kohl's yesterday in search of some new long pants for the upcoming cooler weather.
Sizes in young mens' pants are completely out of whack.
I tried on a pair of jeans with a supposed 30" inseam that were perhaps a half inch longer than my work uniform pants which are hemmed, by a tailor, to a 33.5" inseam.
I blame this trend in oversizing on the baggy pant phenomenon.
But now instead of buying pants that are too big for you, you can buy pants that are your size but made to look like they're too big for you.
And this is not a particular company's design theory, it applied to basically every pair of jeans I tried on.
I can understand if one manufacturer's size "Large" differs slightly from another manufacturer's.
But this is not an abstract size measurement.
"34 inch inseam" shouldn't really be a ballpark estimate. It should mean that the inseam is 34 bloody inches in long!

In other news of pants;
I wear a 33" waist in jeans.
32" waists are too snug.
34" waists are so big that they bunch up like a sack of potatoes when I tighten my belt.
Old Navy is about the only place I know of that regularly offers 33" waists on their jeans.

Today in the mail, I received another offer from AARP.
The first line reads, "Our records show that you haven't yet registered for the benefits of AARP members, even though you are fully eligible."
Last time I checked, being born in 1977 doesn't make me fully eligible.
It makes me just over halfway close to being eligible.
Yet they assure me in at least one mailing a month that I'm missing out on tremendous savings, whether I'm retired or not.
