Belts.
2006-03-08, 7:15 PM #1
I've broken 2 belts this school year. I broke one playing football, and broke one today playing basketball. I noticed all of a sudden "Hey..my pants are loose...dubya tee eff, mate?" and checked to see what happened...it's a reversible belt, and the two metal pieces holding it together had just broken. I need a belt, more or less...these pants fit without a belt, just really loose and start to fall off.

I just play rough in my belts...that's all. So do you wear a belt?
I had a blog. It sucked.

If I had a belt, I'd start clipping all sorts of unnecessary nerdy crap to it... like for example, this little LED flashlight comes with a carrying case that goes on a belt.

Actually now that I think of it, a belt wouldn't be a bad idea...

I wear a belt only if I'm wearing a shirt I need to tuck in.

ALWAYS wear a belt if you are tucking your shirt in. You'll look like a douche otherwise.

I always wear a belt. Years ago I didn't like it when I didn't have to, but now it's such a habbit I can't do anything without wearing one. Unless, of course, I am wearing pants which do not support belts, e.g. athetlic stuff.

I used to carry a Leatherman & often a flashlight on my belt..but I'm not permitted to carry a knife at my new job, so I'm accessory-less. :(

It's our free period/recess. Am I supposed to spend a minute changing pants jsut to play a sport? It's not PE or anything.

I always carry a Leatherman on my belt. A female coworker once noticed it, and asked if I knew it's illegal to carry a knife at public places. I told her she wouldn't need to be afraid, as I wouldn't use it against her... She seemed to be reassured by that, because she didn't comment it any further.

I wear a belt with my jeans because I have to -- I'm freakin' skinny. I don't have to wear a belt with my khakis, but I do anyway. It's not like anyone sees it, as my shirts tend to cover over it, but eh. Maybe it's a habit from high school, I dunno.

Not in America it isn't. I don't know where you live tho.

It's only illegal in a few select public places. Like courthouses and schools.

As for me, I wear a belt, but I haven't accessorized it. The thought of doing so appeals to my nerdy side.

Not illegal here - but apparently it's company policy..though I don't recall reading it in the employee handbook. :confused:

That varies per state law - I can legally carry a concealed firearm onto school property..so I'd assume I could a knife as well. :p

I wear a belt because I wear (relatively, it seems) loose pants. And I like the way it looks. It's a nice thick leather belt.

Well, according to our law (of edged weapons and such) it could indeed be illegal. However, I'm not any law expert, and there is a statement in the law that it doesn't apply if the object is needed for work or for other acceptable reasons.

And if one couldn't give an acceptable reason why he's carrying a Leatherman with him, then why would he be carrying it in the first place..? And it should be noted that a Leatherman wouldn't be a good choice for self-defence at all. But I doubt anybody would even get one for that purpose.

No..the belts are made crappily (My parents decided "Hey, let's get Sam a reversible belt he'll only use one side of) so that there's these two metal parts that are rather loose. And I'm not fat, I actually thinned down in the last 6 months with more sports/being more active/not being a lazy *******.

I use a belt because my pants are all too loose from the weight I lost 2 years ago.

I rarely wear a belt. Mostly it's for dress clothing.

BUT HOW I YEARN TO NOT BE SUPPRESSED BY SOCIETY'S DEMAND FOR THE PANTSES.

God I wish I couldn't wear pants, but we have cold weather up here:(. I'm making a vow to go at least one day this summer pantsless.

No, you need to buy better pants, or wear long girls pants. It IS possible to find girls pants that are cut mascule and earen't frilly on the back. You just have to be internally secure.

I have a 29" waist and a 34-35 inch inseam. Unless you're FREAKISHLY tall even Nordstrom should carry your size, otherwise a big and tall store should too.

But I do look good in girly pants, but I stick with the ones that pass for boys pants.

A studded belt. I always wear it, regardless of whether or not I actually need to. I should probably buy a plain belt though, because wearing a shirt and a tie doesn't really mesh well with my studded belt and my Vans. :p

I always wear a belt unless I'm wearing athletic pants.

Oh, and I've broken 2 belts in the past 6 months. One of them was this really awesome studded belt. I was at a party and my friend grabbed it and pulled on it, it snapped. I used some duct-tape on it and then it broke again a couple weeks later in a different spot. I could just tape it again, but I might as well just buy a new belt.

I broke my other stud belt hitting someone with it.

I have a 29" waist and a 33.5-34 inseam and it's easy for me to find girl pants that fit me.

I've carried a Leatherman daily for what..eight years now? It's a tool..that's why I carry it. Now if I need to fix anything, I have to go to my truck and break open the toolbox..which is typically overkill. :p

It's not for self defense..that's what my CCW is for. :p
woot!
