Why the hell is every pair of Levi's now 30% spandex and have some kind of ridiculous dirt-wash fade? Why can't I just buy a pair of regular-ass dark blue cotton denim jeans?

Or try finding a lose fitting comfortable pair of jeans that doesn’t have holes in them because, ‘style’,..... any pair of jeans without them fits like skinny jeans.

I was on Levi's 514s for a while. They had normal colors and the fit was good. But now they're 100% either stretchy, faded, torn, or some combination of the three.

I grew up on Levi’s and they’re still might favorite jean. The "go to" jean style back then were bell bottoms. You’re right they have adapted to the fashion craze, but there are a few stores around here that still carry the standard Levi’s. 501's were the bomb.

I think you can still find the standard Levi’s at Kohl’s if that helps.

Old Navy jeans have been good to me.

Target, bro. They usually have a big selection of standard, generic, no-bullshit Levi’s.

Target sells 502s, 505s, 511s, and 541s.

502 (Regular Taper) - That's what i'm trying now, I have a bunch on the way from Amazon.

505 (Regular) - High waisted and balloon legs.

511 (Slim) - Skinny jeans for the gheys.

541 (Athletic Taper) - Chonky thighs for thicc bois.

Relaxed fit aren’t as relaxed as they used to be,... I don’t know if it’s the skinny jean craze or what but yeah. They fit tighter than they used to and no it’s not because I’m bigger,... my older pairs of relaxed fit nicer all around than the newer pairs of the same cut.

Bud, stretchy jeans are a blessing from the lord.


I've found though that I require the 541s though. I'm real big in the hips and thighs. The stretch helps guys that have an actual ass though, like myself.

I don't mind a little bit of stretch, I wear the Brooks Brothers Stretch Advantage Chinos for work. But those are like 5% and still feel like men's pants, not women's bathing suits.

The phrase "dog on the recruiting trail." It's not new but suddenly used everywhere on ND sites. It's the new "RKG"

I stop at the Kroger near work to make a salad. I go to the self checkout which has six registers. Two are closed and another one is occupied by a lady with two carts full of groceries and there is the self service clerk standing there chatting with her. How about you politely take her to a regular register where it will only take ten minutes to checkout and won't keep us standing in line? Geez!

My Kroger got rid of the salad bar.

That grinds my gears.

AT&T/DirectTV continue to charge me for the NFL Network. Let's start with the fact I never even signed up for it in the first place.

Every bill since the season started - I've called, and called, and called, and called four times now and apparently this is like pulling teeth. The last lady said there are notes all over your account, not sure what the problem is, but I'm the "boss" and it's taken care of now.

Well, December’s bill came the other day, and guess what??...you got it, 50 bucks again. These are always an hour+ on hold/conversation every time, and it’s wearing me thin. I don't have time for that, especially right now.

Suggestions on new providers? I lump my internet, tv and phones all together… Please and thank you.

They did the same thing to me with the baseball package. Said it was all HD, it was not... so I dropped it within the 10 day trail period. It took half a dozen phone calls over a few months and numerous requests for something in writing before they finally took it off the bill(s). I honest to goodness think it's in their playbook at this point. F DTV.

Ugggg. It pisses me off because I don't want to change providers but they are giving me no choice. I'm not unhappy with their service, they just can't bill me correctly. It's bundled, with my old man and Grams added and I really don't have the time right now to deal with it.
