Dirty Pants Indicator
Some strip that you put inside your pants that shows how many hours you have worn it. | |
This is especially for guys. We often confuse over which pants we had worn and which ones we had just washed. This strip is like a thermometer thing. You stick it inside your pants and as you wear it, somehow (maybe from bodily fluid uhh) it changes color. The more you wear it, the more it changes
color, so you know how long you have worn it. When you wash it, it goes back to its original color. Wouldn't it be useful for those lazy bachelors who still care about smelling?

might come in handy; I use the 'floor' organization system and after a few days the clothing doesn't smell... at least not at room temperature. |
|
|
By 'pants' you mean 'trousers'? (Incidentally, what does
'trousers' mean in the US?) |
|
|
and why in both cases are they plural... does a one-legged person put on his "pant" or "trouser" ? |
|
|
Yes at least for trouser, I suppose he could pant if it helps. |
|
|
Is it just me or are there more bad-smell related ideas round here recently? |
|
|
[MB] Trousers is valid in the US, but somewhat archaic. And
yes, from this context, I'm pretty sure the outer piece of leg
covering clothing is what is being considered. |
|
|
//why in both cases are they plural// probably because
pants/trousers derived from leggings, which were indeed
worn in pairs. Much as scissors originated as a pair of
implements designed to be clip-togetherable (as good cooks'
scissors are to this day). |
|
|
[MB] I can understand pants but I just can't understand panties. Where is the second (beep)?? |
|
|
well, farts are kinda temporary. this idea was more for permanent filth, such as perspiration or body oil. just as my fav pair of underwears went from white to beige, this strip can do the same, only in a reversible manner, unlike my underwears. |
|
|
don't you guys mean 'britches'? |
|
|
"Hike up them britches, boy!" |
|
|
Interestingly, (or possibly not) "pantalon" in French is singular. |
|

Maybe this makes me a total pig but I need this. I have had embarassing situations were the pants look clean but I might have worn them too many times. Sometimes I will wear a nice pair of slacks or a suit for a couple of hours in one evening and then take them off after I get back home.. thus giving me the ability to wear them again for another short engagement. But if I see them hanging up in my closet, I will not be able to remember if they are clean enough to wear all day. Other adults are too polite to tell you that your clothes smell but a child in his infinite honesty said, "Mommy! Mr. Jscotty smells like he has a dead rat in his pocket!" |

Would it kill you to put your dirty clothes in the hamper? Damn kids. /channeling my mother |

flatulent individuals beware
maybe this strip is a measure of flammability
wearing pants that are more likely to catch fire or burn faster could be dangerous |
|
|
This is just a friendly reminder [xkuntay], that it has been nearly two years since you posted this idea and it may be time to change your pant(s) now :) |
