Strange holes in clothes?

I just noticed there were some rather...interesting holes in my jeans. Anyone just randomly throughout the day notice their are holes in the clothes they are wearing they didn't know about before?

I had a rather embarrassing day a while ago realizing that the pajama bottoms I had moved furniture in my room around in had a rather large hole in the crotch while talking to my landlord. Didn't realize I'd ripped them while moving my bed around. :o

I have a shirt that is almost missing a sleeve with a hole at the seam under my arm as it's gotten so big. I never noticed it until I wore it outside on a cold day. I guess I just don't pay attention to my clothes enough or something.

My ex had a pair of jeans with holes in them, those were fun but definately couldn't let her wander around outside with them.

I know my brother, for the longest time never noticed this one hole in his work pants in the back. I went to point it out to him in front of a mutual friend of ours and our friend stopped me. He said it was the reason all the girls followed my brother around and he'd be upset if that stopped. :p

Well, the whole in my pj's was about the size of my head, and my landlord was quite unsure what to make of it when she snagged me for a chat when I woke up drunk one morning. :o

I think this beats everything. My old girlfriend's dad was a machinist, and his shop was in their basement. Now whenever his work clothes would get washed, anything that was put in with it would come out looking like swiss cheese because there was always some metal shavings on his clothes.

How do you wake up drunk? People go to sleep that way, but very few actually awaken in that condition.

Ha, you only process about 1 shot an hour, if you sleep for 8 hours, thats about 8 shots. I can put down a liter a night if I stay up and drink at a party. So, a 6 hour party, then 8 hours of sleep, thats 14 shots and a liter is just over a quart, a quart is 32 ounces...thats 32 shots. That would mean I processed and got about half the alcohol in my system out of it upon waking up. Yeah, it's easy for me to wake up drunk. :p

Oh, that would suck. I liked playing with the holes in my ex's jeans when we were dating, but I'd get really irritated if all of my clothes got ruined from work.

Waking up drunk is an interesting experience the first time. I forget that I ever fell asleep. I have holes in all of my old clothes. Some T-Shirts have tiny holes the size of a nailhead and others have big gaping ones. I can't sew, so I wait for my girlfriend to notice them. As for the holes in significant other's clothing, that can be really fun. You'd be surprised how ice cubes fit in those tiny holes. Always fun to play with!

Ha, popsicles work too. Leave a mess, but they work. ;)

Well, there was this pair of boxer shorts that I wore 'till they went to kingdom come. One day, I'm fetching them from the launrey and notice how large the fly (in the front) appeared. Suddenly, I come to find out that that's actually the rear end my undergarment! :eek: :o

So, here I am, holding this pair of boxers, baffled, when both my grandmother and (IIRC) my younger brother come into the room. My brother, being the clever and snide guy he is, does this little quip about how unusual that is. My grandmother - despite her long lack of good jokes - says the one thing that just about makes it a crack-up: she says "It's a blow-out!"

Overall, I don't remember that pair splitting when I was in the middle of something (somewhat soft fabric) or if it was in the wash. Me, I'm a rather trim but sometimes strenuously busy guy, so I tend to take better care of myself than many of my things. ;)

Usually I don't notice myself, but other people are kind enough to tell me. A colleague of mine informed me that my silk blouse was actually open in the back. It was a very cheap, thin thing I had bought for 3 Euro in China a hot day, and it didn't survive the machine wash. The whole back was ripped from neck to waist, but I hadn't noticed since I'm always in a hurry when I dress and leave home in the morning (well, before lunch at least).

It is not uncommon that I go around with a jacket or top with half a sleeve loose, or the seam in the side open, but it's not the end of the world and other people around me usually tell me. For some reason, my trousers never seems to get any holes in them, they just wear down all over.

My problem is pockets... For some unexplained reason my pockets always develop holes in the bottom, leading to everything falling out until I notice :(

And my problem is that my Levi's jeans had a whole at the knee last week (a tiny one, wasn't even a whole, but you could see one single thread torn) and by now almost the whole part under the knee has come off! :mad: Not to mention that they weren't cheap, and haven't even lasted for a year. So much for quality! :mad:

Bah, you shouldn't buy American jeans. I buy Italian jeans, those I wear right now I've had for over 3 years and used lot. I've even sandblastered them in the Sahara and they are still ok.

They make them that way on purpose you know, just like everything else in the country. If they break on you, you have to buy new ones. :rolleyes:

@Galuf, that's hilarious. I've had the same thing happen but no audience fortunately. :D

I buy the cheap off brands. Even if they don't always last longer, they usually hold up just as long, and are half the price or less. Importing stuff from Europe to here and buying that is ungodly expensive compared to the clothes here though. :(
