A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I feel sorry for women who don't have pockets (self.showerthoughts)

I seriously couldn't live without cargo pants. At any given time, I'll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?

lol I make sure to have a bag when I don’t have pockets. Or I make sure that I will be in a location that has quick access to anything I would’ve put in my pocket. Sure, I’ll always remember the envy I felt as I watched Jared from 9th grade pull a Ti-84 and several pencils out of his pocket (I had pockets but they only fit my fingers up to the second knuckle… women’s fashion). But the only thing I really need near me at all times is my phone. I’m almost always either at home or wok, where I have a million nearby locations to put my phone. If I’m out, I have my purse or backpack. It’s very convenient to pull some spare ibuprofen from my pocket, but wearing those cute pocket-less pants for a whole day is worth the 60 second trip to get the pills from wherever I left them.

Wait, pocket-less pants are cuter? I'm suddenly tempted to start looking at girls' pants on the metro (except for the fact that will probably get me labeled as a perv...)

I wasn’t generalizing, I was thinking of a very specific pair of my pants that are super awesome and have no pockets. They are a forest print with leopards and monkeys.
