This is more fun than the questionnaire for work.

You should fill this in to entertain me, while I try to photocopy everything I need for the week and work out how I'm going to cart two heavy boxes of questionnaires around with me for the next two days.

If anyone could help me in figuring out why my jeans wear out in the inner thigh, I would greatly appreciate it. There's no discernable reason! I used to blame it on my bicycle, but I don't have one anymore! Gragh!

And my love-puddle is very silty, so you get that nasty scunge on the inside of your shoes, over the instep, and it won't come off, dammit.

Good poll, anyway, I approve.

My jeans never wear out anywhere else! Apparently my inner thighs take all the stresses and strains for the whole of my legs. Bah. ANd you can't really mend them, at least I can't, because then the seams would be very uncomfortable.

Thank you. If I were allowed to do my job on lj polls, I would.

My jeans don't predictably wear out in any given place: except I have quite a history of zips going splat (for no particularly obvious reason, except possibly really crap zip design) on otherwise quite wearable jeans.

For watery love metaphors, mine is more like a pleasing and refreshing moistness pervading everything, without the disadvantages of real dampness (mould, etc).

My jeans always ALWAYS wear out in the inner thigh first. It is very annoying, and the only explanation I have is friction form walking - I don't even cycle any more.

[cangetmad.livejournal.com]

I think it's because there are the thick seam edges there and they rub when you walk. Mine wear out there too, but also I tear the bottoms of them because I have freakish little short legs.

Thighs are a complete nuisance. I don't know what all the people whose knees wear out quickest are doing.

I have shortish legs, but generally they just wear away rather than tearing.

My jean knees wear out quickly but I think it is because I wear jeans at work and I seem to spend an awful lot of my time scrabbling around on the floor for one reason or another. Glamorous it ain't.
Although, really my jean cuffs wear out the fastest of all, but you didn't ask about those.

I've never worn jeans out through the kness. Perhaps mine are particularly smooth and frictionless, or more accurately, I spend more time sitting on my bum.

The pai of jeans I'm wearing right now are so ripped at the knees I'm afraid that shortly I'm going to lose the whole bottom half of the legs. There are also worn patches pretty much everywhere else too though... the benefits of hiding in a house where nobody but the cat can see me.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

I was always really jealous of people with ripped kness (in them old days when we ripped our own clothes instead of buying them so) because it was so very grunge. Nothing grungy about a hole in the thigh with some pale flesh seeping through and perhaps a stray pube.

My best ripped jeans story was getting to a Queen concert only to discover they had ripped underneath the back pocket exposing my rather lovely grey knickers. Thankfully a tour T-Shirt one size too big solved that but I was completely paranoid abou it.

My jeans often go at the knee, but also at the hem because they're invariably too long and I fold them up instead of doing proper things with needles. But they're still usable when they're frayed at the ankle.

And occasionally they go at the rear, and they don't necessarily take the trouble to warn me that they've done this prior to my venturing out in them. Blast them.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Yes, I didn't list hem, becasue they tend to be still wearable. But then, I suppose knees are too.

Ooh, saucy!

[carmine-rose.livejournal.com]

Mine all fray at the bottom too - if I get a short enough pair, they just go at them hem, but if they are really long, I turn them up too, and then get firts holes in the back, then mad flappy bits.

And they get a bit thin in the rear too - it's because I've got so much of it, I think.

Hems, because apparently if you're the size I wear you must be six feet tall, and I'd rather complain about walking on them all the time than sew them up.
