Pantyhose

I hate pantyhose. They never fit right, and they pull and bind or they are lose make my ankles look wrinkled up. And they really look dumb when a robber puts a pair of them over his head to rob a bank or something. Geeze!

I made the mistake of wearing pantyhose to work today. About an hour ago, I could stand it no longer. I took them off and threw them away!

I should note, however, she was bitchin' about 'em about 2.3 nanofarts (thank Dusty for that time measurement) after she put them on this morning!

Good for you! I also hate those damn pantyhose, so I wear pants all the time.

Beth, I hate 'em too.

I wear stockings, or nothing at all. And when I absolutely HAVE to wear pantyhose, I do the same thing -- I rip them off as soon as I abso-fricking-lutely can and throw them AWAY!

Well, I'll make it a threefer on women commenting. I hate them too.

Pants mostly, bare legs if I can get away with it and stockings if I absolutely have to. At least i can pull them up and make them stay up if they wrinkle...

Never understood the reason for those, m'self. I mean, stockings are sexy-looking (If one imagines the woman underdressed, as we males all do), though inconvenient for the wearer. Pantyhose are even more inconvenient for the wearer and ugly to boot, if I should happen to see them on a half-dressed woman. I have asserted here and elswhere that I'm not a typical guy, but I think that even typical guys sometimes get tired of the dressing-up rituals of the female humans. Thin stockings/pantyhose of that kind were obviously invented to distract the male mind, anyway. I'm all for conventions in dress, to save money, etc, but I do think the pantyhose one does no one,of either sex, any good.

Ladies, I would be more than happy to take your pantyhose that you hate so much :-)

Well I thought men were taking over pantyhose for us women now. They seem to have a thing for them, and they can have em as far as I'm concerned. Nothing beats a great BARE leg!
