The other morning I was getting ready for work and I discovered a run in almost every single pair. The few that weren't ruined were either the wrong shade or contained a pre-run. Know what those are? Of course you do. It's the weak spot in the leg that, if pulled just the right way, would run any second. Damn things. This is another reason why I love summer - I am excused from nylon necessities.
And it wouldn't be so bad if nylons were only a few dollars. No. Nylons, good nylons, are expensive. Really expensive. Although if you find a sale, you can get a 3 pack for $25, which isn't a bad price I guess....let me get my calculator.....at approximately $8.33333333 a pair.
So the garbage can is full of nylons that had been sitting in my drawer. Why do I return ruined nylons to my drawer you ask? I don't know. Why don't I just toss them in the garbage when I get home? Again, I don't know. I wear them all day, take them off, put them in the wash and return them to the nylon drawer only to pull them out, waste the 10 minutes to slip them on and discover a nasty, ugly run down the side and *then* recall exactly how and when it happened. And I swear: shit!
Stupid nylons.
I'd wear pants but my legs are short and I figure I'd spend a small fortune getting my pants hemmed. Although if I consider the amount I spend on nylons....
Why do I always think of these things after the fact?
Do bank robbers wear nylons over their heads anymore? You never see this in movies now. Maybe it was a 70's thing.
