wearing pants sucks

Well, not quite that extreme.

Today was my first day back in the office since March 2020.

I've spent the past year+ wearing comfy light cotton house pants 98% of the time. I've had jeans on occasionally, but not for more than a few hours at a time.

Changed as soon as I got home....

Since my bypass operation and subsequent loss of weight, all my jeans are loose fitting now. It's finally warming up to the point I can wear shorts when I walk for exercise. I feel cold 75% of the time now but am getting used to that. My wife wanted me to get new shorts since she says mine look like they're barely hanging on now when I'm walking.
I feel for all the people who have to go into an office again.

I work from home.

I found I am more productive at the computer with a button up collared shirt than a T-shirt.

When I have important work that needs to be done promptly I will dress up in a collared shirt and creased khakis.

No more freedom in the world than letting my balls hang freely walking through town.

Unlikely - I hate the beaches. Weird for a Florida kid. But between the sand, sun, waves, and wind I end up rather miserable....

And yeah, I've been in a few non-beach clothing optional places.... Rainbow Gathering... if you don't mind untrimmed hair most of the folks running around naked would clean up rather nicely...

I used to see people walking down the street in SF without pants. Or a shirt. Or underwear. Unfortunately, eye bleach people.

Been working out of my home office a decade.

I’m pretty much full on feral.

Light cotton house pants? Are those boxers?

I wear jeans around our farm-let (5 acres) because you just need some strong fabric between you and lumber, chickens, dirt, snakes, etc...
Wish I could find some good underwear that would keep the boys in place. I'm tired of constantly having to re arrange things down there.

Saxx underwear. Ballpark pouch.
Had a little work done down under a few years back and these work for me when I was healing up and ever after.
Make sure you get the ones that have a fly, the others are in the no go zone...

Try a pair to see if they fit you before buying in numbers. They ain't cheap.

My problem is I have no hips, so whatever I wear slides right down. I've tried putting a tee shirt on over the top band of my shorts and then belting my jeans over that, but in an hour or so everything has slid down and one of my boys has gone rogue and the whole arrangement needs to be put back in place.

welcome back to work!!
