As a fellow keeper of things in pockets, you have all my sympathy. I try and keep anything I can in the front pockets though, since those are less likely to loose things. Either that or in the zip pockets of my "hiking" trousers. They may not be the fashion statement of the year, but they are comfortable, dry quickly when wet and have lots of closable pockets. Ouch.

Why can't women's pants come that way? Lola, you’re absolutely right. Men’s pants come in combinations of waist/inseam measurements. Why can’t women’s pants come that way?

Woodsy and Julia - thank you very much for your generous offers. I might just take you up on that. (But I still prefer to take my business to stores that sell pants with legs the same length as mine.) Deb, how come you carry everything in your pockets? What do you carry in your purse? Sheila, I actually don't mind being short except for the pants and when I can't reach the Bran Buds with Psylium on the top shelf of the grocery store. I'm quite comfortable from my vantage point of five one and three quarters. Mudmama, are you SURE you're only five one? I always thought you were a bit taller than me. (Maybe you have better posture or something.) Nursemyra, I just hope I don't find them now that the festival's over. XUP - you're right, I forgot all about the lost train ticket last month. It wasn't in my back pocket though - it was supposedly in the secret secure pocket of my knapsack. Jenny, you've turned the problem on its head. I never before thought about what tall people do when the pants are too short. You're right, that's even worse than pants being too long. I'm sorry. Jo, you must have been destined to go to those shows! I did check at Cleo’s, and nobody had turned in the tickets there.

AT almost 5 '10, i have the legs of a 6'2 person......what's with 'long/tall' inseams being 32...... AND why aren't there just sized or sections or stores for tall people that weigh average. Everything is plus or petite or ....why not just make things that fit all? Why do men's pants come in so many more inseams than womens? See what you've done? NOW you've got me started:) Lo Hey-i feel your pain on pants not fitting BUT i have the opposite problem.

The first time was when I was walking to see a band called The Islands and my ticket fluttered out of my back pocket and onto Preston Street. Luckily, by the time I got to Somerset, I realized the ticket was gone and retraced my steps back a few blocks. I saw the ticket, but it was windy and I had to chase it for another few blocks. Eventually caught it, but was late to meet my friend for dinner. The same pants ejected tickets to a punk show in Las Vegas and those were lost forever in the confusing-carpeted casino. Luckily, the friend I was with spotted another friend who had extra tickets and he was able to give us replacement tickets. But I never put anything important in that back pocket again. J.

Usually, the tall size fits "up to 5'10"... and since I am 6'0", it usually doesn't cut it. I did score some lime green linen pants at a thrift store that were (praise be!) about 2" too long and a skosh too big, so I used the extra leg fabric to make a better waistband et voila! I love thrift stores, especially when I am able to find long pants! :) But it does suck to have to alter clothes before you can wear them, and I'll never do it if I'm paying full retail. (really?? 5'3"?? I must be a freak... I actually had my new doctor ask me if I had Marfan's syndrome at my first appt. odd.) :) *sigh* Oh, for pants that could be hemmed to fit… Usually, the tall size fits “up to 5’10″… and since I am 6’0″, it usually doesn’t cut it.

Maybe the universe is telling you that you're not meant to own tickets? Anyway, that really bites. I'm way too paranoid to ever keep anything in my pockets. If someone very kind found festival tickets is there some place to turn them in? Maybe you could check there? Didn’t you just lose some train tickets recently, too?
