Had a similar situation as
@JohnGw.
I have a drawer of shorts I wear when working in the yard. Back surgeries have kept me sidelined for a couple years so this last summer was the first time I’d been in this drawer since summer 2016. I go commando when working in the yard.
Now I’m not allowed to do any bending or lifting or anything strenuous but I can use the blower and broom to clean the sidewalks and driveway.
I was walking around the Stop sign that is at the corner of our yard (we are a corner house) with a broom in one hand and blower in the other hand. I tend to be a little unsteady on my feet and brushed against the signpost as I walked by, snagging my short pocket and ripping the shorts right down the seam.
So I take a step or two as they fall off and are suddenly around my feet. Since bending over is not a good option I just keep walking and step out of the shorts, heading the short distance to the cover of our garage. My husband, meanwhile, is laughing so hard he has to sit down on the grass where he is. At the time I didn’t find as much humor in the situation as he did.
He also enjoyed sharing this story many times with our friends. It’s funny now but at the time I was more pissed than anything since my back limitations kept me from bending down and simply pulling the remnants of the shorts up.
