This was just a doomed accessory from the start. Nothing about the belt ever worked well. The pants already fit? Still need a belt. The pants are too loose? The belt is too tight. Colors, textures, blah, its all a horrible cluster-bomb of bad clothes engineering.
I have one (1) belt. I bought it at old navy in the 8th grade, so, like seven years ago. Its the braded leather variety. I am finished. If this belt doesn't work for a pair of pants, too bad, I'd rather spend the whole day hitching up my jeans like an idiot teenager than subject myself to the woes of a belt Posted by HollowEarth (Member # 2586) on :

Orincoro- You must be a CS major/graduate. Are the jeans by any chance black? Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
I have three belts and they do serve a purpose, they help hold my jeans up while I loose weight. Or at least they will till I get smaller jeans. Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
I remember being lost in downtown Atlanta in the heat of the summer when the fanbelt in my car broke. This was before the days of the cellphone, when you could just call for help. So I locked up the car and trudged off and looked for a phone, called AAA, trudged back to my car, waited for a couple of hours, as the light waned and the night fell, trudged back to the payphone, called again, and was told that the tow truck was at my car, but they radioed that I wasn't there, so they were leaving, and I begged the dispatcher to tell them to stay until I ran back to the car, which I did, just as they were driving away (but towards the direction that I was running), so I jumped out into the street and wildly flagged them and got them to go back to my car and tow it (and me) to safety.
Since then, I have also distrusted belts. Have you ever tried these, instead?

Belts are fun Everybody nowadays wear them outside the hole-part-thingies of the jeans. It is said to create a waist for the waist-handicapped and to be a nice pretty accessory to further complete an outfit. Like a necklace. What does a necklace do, anyway?

Do? It doesn't DO anything! That's the beauty of it.

Yeah for braces. That is a benefit of the winter season. One can wear sweaters, therby masking an induldgence in suspender use, without exibiting a trend toward fogyness. I use the red ones for every day, and the blue ones with NEVADA woven in for best dress.

I have one studded belt. I rarely ever wear it. It annoys me because it's a vegan belt, so it'll never get all nice and soft like a leather belt would.
Also, nowadays all the cool kids are supposed to wear their belts buckled to one side, and I can never figure out what the proper side is.

Really? How did I miss this trend?
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
It's totally the thing to do. I kind of like it because the buckle off to the side makes the hip/stomach look flatter (since my pants and belts inevitably end up hanging about my hipbones). But like I said...which side? Which side, I ask?!

Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :
I own one belt and I only bought it for my Miho costume for Halloween.
And pH, I wore the buckle off to the left, so that's obviously the cool way to do it. Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

WTF? That's the second time today! I'm not appreciating your innuendo and disparaging remarks. You take it back and apologise.
Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
I take it back, but only because I want to, you didn't make me.
I sincerely apoligize Tante, I did not mean to offend you.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
I'm with Tante, that is a racist stereotype.
You should apologize Reticulum.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Never mind, you already did.
Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
Not racist. Predjudist. I reserve the right to make fun of myself. Freedom of Speech does indeed exist on the internet. I will never do it again on these boards seeing as how offensive it is.
Let the non-hostile feelings resume!

Once again, sorry.

Horray! No one is mad anymore!
Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
You ever notice everyone says hating any type of person is racist? It's annoying. Hating a religion or a person from a certain part of the country, or planet is PREDJUDIST. Racist is against someone of a certain race, and Predjudist is everything else.
No hard feelings Advent. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Okay, I really try not to point this sort of thing out, but you've been misspelling "prejudiced" pretty consistently. Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
I KNEW IT!!! I was wondering how to spell it. I knew I was close, but that proves it. Thanks Tom!
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
I'm glad that Tante forgave you Reticulum. Your not such a bad guy.
I should know, I almost made a form of government with you. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

I would just like to point out that there is no excuse for continuing to misspell a word you suspect yourself of misspelling. Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
I'm constantly surprised that people don't know (or don't care) that there are dictionaries available online.
And were hearing this from Jon boy, that is truly halarious.
Goo' Nigh' Jon boy!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
Funny you should say I'm not such a mean guy, for once one of my friends wrote a one act play for our assignment called; "The day Josh ran out of Insults" and another one wrote, "The day Josh got Human emotions"
I laughed of course. Thought it was halarious.
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
I hate to be a bother, after everyone commented on your spelling, but you've also been spelling "hilarious" wrong. I think it was mentioned in another thread as well.
Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
Darn! Is it really that big of a deal? I mean honestly, it is a simple mistake. So yes, you are a bother.
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
*ignoring previous statement*
Personally, I would wear two belts, one with the buckle to the right, and one with it to the left. Then I would make SURE to be cool at all times.
Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :

Caught up in the moment. Sorry.

Umm, I think that should be "I have just had a streek with bad spelling". Funnier that way.

You can also just punch in define: wurd into google. And if you just misspell it by a little bit, it'll say, Did you mean word? Posted by Orincoro (Member # 8854) on :

Ummm. Ph, you never just looked at someone else's belt and.. did the math? Posted by Kitsune (Member # 8290) on :
Hehe, I do it to the left too ! I thought that's just how it's done. Maybe if you're lefthanded you might be inclined to do it to the right?

The thing I don't like is when people buckle off to the side, then tuck the shirt in only where the buckle is, but leave it untucked the rest of the way around.
Or, as it's known at my house, the frat-tuck.
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
I've never seen a frat boy with his belt buckled off to one side.

I thought only girls do the side-buckle thing. Girls want to draw attention away from their stomach area, but wouldn't guys want to draw attention to their stomach area?
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
What an odd trend.
I myself like belts. I have serious difficulties finding clothes where the manufacturer paid any attention to, oh, I don't know, HIPS. I can never find pants that fit around both waist and hips properly. So I need a belt. Belts are good.

Posted by Katarain (Member # 6659) on :
I'm afraid I have to agree with the Belts Die! sentiment. There's nothing more annoying than trying on a pair of pants in your size only to find that the belt they've been paired with is about 6 sizes too small.
WHY DO THEY DO THAT?! Don't put skinny belts on fat clothes. It only makes us angry.
