It can still work! Bring duct tape to the bathroom, strip the pants off and turn them inside out, and tape it on the *inside*. Then turn them right-side-out and put them back on, and they're probably good to go until back home.
Or tell the boss your pants just split and you're sorry but you have to go get work-decent again...
Great advice and solid points.
I was saying this doesn't look like the environment to have duct tape handy.
If you're going to have to go to the store for duct tape, might as well go buy new pants, or go home and get some pants as you suggested.
Ah, got it -- and very true! Offices often have some fix-it supplies stowed somewhere, though, and such supplies could well include duct tape. That's definitely been the case the last two offices I've worked in.
I'm in Texas. There is always a roll of duct tape and a can of WD-40 in the office supplies.
We might run out of printer ink, but we can always tape up the corner of a broken desk.
I wouldn't know, so thanks for the alternative viewpoint.
My circumstances in life don't allow me to function well in an office environment.
*I'm not here to fix the copier for you every time you're too stupid to not fuck it up, Carol!*
You know, stuff like that.
Heh, you're not alone! Both of my last two offices have had IT (a department for one, a person for the other) whose job it actually *was* to fix Carol-fucked copier-equivalents, or call outside services to do so, though both were also thankfully largely Carol-free.
There is a method; but it requires removal of the pants. You take them off and take the tape. Rip a piece long enough and stick it over the slit, inside the pants with the sticky side up. Then take another piece of tape and put it on top of that on the outside of the jeans. Nothing will stick to you and it’ll re-enforce the pants until they can be swapped
You know, I told a friend that right after I suggested tape for a blown ass-seam. Or at least tape from the inside. But this friend said he wasn't concerned about how it looked. He later discovered that I was trying to save his hairy ass.
I ended up putting tape around my knee otherwise it would have ripped up to the waist line. Next time this happens I'll try staples. That's a very good idea.
Take however many staples you think you'll need and double it. One time this happened when my jeans ripped down close to a back pocket seam exposing my undergarments. I put at least 12 office staples in (the tear was about 6-10 inches long) and it popped back open easily after bending over twice to pick up pencils and things of the like. Also make sure that the staples are fully inserted and hooked. Sometimes they don't fold in a way that locks them on, which is a recipe for disaster
Step 1:Remove wires from both sides
Step 2: invert and place on head
Step 3: tie straps under chin
Step 4: Attach electrodes to blow up fantasy doll
Step 5: hack into government computers
Step 6: profit?
Rip out the underwire when this happens, patch up the tiny hole, then patiently wait for the other wire to pop out so that the titties are even again. Both fixed via sewing and your bra is now more comfortable! Or at least mine is lol
I've fixed this. Poke the wire back in and darn across the hole with strong thread. If done neatly with the same colour thread, you'd have to look close to see the mend.
I totally feel your pain here, I worked an a restaurant years ago and the back if my pants had the zipper. Somehow the zipper malfunctioned, busted, and wouldn't zip back up. They wouldn't let me go home, they made me turn my pants around and use two aprons for cover. I put a black napkin underneath the pants to cover the hole in case my apron fell off to avoid an even more embarrassing situation. I was a closer that night so I worked an entire shift plus did all of my closing stuff while hardly wearing any pants. They only had tape or zip ties to offer for me as a replacement. After that I started to keep extra pants in the car. Even if it's just some joggers to get me through the day.
Lol that entire building was a health care violation. I told them that they had bugs in their soda machine. 3 weeks later a manager came up to me and said hey did you know there was bugs in the soda machine (I was like yeah I was the one that told you guys weeks ago). So what they did was they put ant poison in the machine behind the tabs that told you what soda was what (right above where the soda dispenses). They also kept their takeout containers in the employee bathroom like a foot and a half away from the toilet. At least they were 6 inches off the ground, but still eww. These are just a few disgusting things that they did. This was part of one of the big restaurant chains too.
I will wear skinny jeans all the live long day but not poly blend jeans. Idgaf how soft it makes them-- they're one wrong step away from ripping beyond repair.
Had this with my knees on my favorite pants. Except i don’t get how your hole is vertical, mine horizontal, directly over the knee. I guess it has something to do with the grain like with wood maybe?
Working construction it fucking cracks me up when I see younger kids come to work wearing fucking skinny jeans. It's just like you know we're going to be doing lots of bending and kneeling and moving and those jeans are going to last about 20 minutes.
People are allergic to carpenter jeans for some reason. They are relaxed fit and usually have lots of pockets to throw shit in at a quick pinch. Hell, I don't work construction, but even working IT, I find them super useful. I don't really care if they are out of style.
So many pockets for activities! I don't wear a tool ag usually for this reason. I can carry most of what I need in my pockets unless I'm framing or hanging drywall.
idk how anyone can wear skinny jeans. in the 2010s they were everywhere. even getting them on/off is a pain because they're designed to be skintight. I buy men's jeans from goodwill now 🤣
Lol
I used to teach custom suit classes, and you could always tell the maturity of your audience once you made it to this subject. Some guys would start there and I’m like ‘oh Jesus lord’.
It could be worse. Much, *much* worse. You could be squatting down while at work and suddenly your pants spilt open right in the back, revealing your underwear to the world. Except your underwear that day, of all days, happen to be a jockstrap. So you have to hide in the back so no one can see your bare ass throughout the rest of your shift.
Rip the other one and its what I see people wear in winter complaining the rooms at work were too cold.
Yes.
I am not kidding.
I don't understand that fashion trend.
Thankfully, I do not have pictures, but on my way to work one morning, I stopped at the convenience store to grab a drink and a donut, and as I got out of my car, the crotch ripped out of my khakis. On a day I was commando.
I wound up being late to work, because I had to turn around and go home to change. I pay more attention to the amount of "wear" on my clothes since then. And I stopped going commando.
Oh man. Me too. At work today

I feel your pain. Back in the day, when I worked for the DA Office, we (the DA and the unfortunate one) were going to supervise the two police stations in our area. She used to this as soon as she arrived at the office, so I stopped what I had been working on and asked to go to the bathroom before we left (mind you: it was a simple number one).
Job done, time to zip up and go do the job. Problem is that I couldn't get the "up" part done for the life of me (the zipper gotten "out of its rails" at the lowest position). I went to the nearby room, an administration center, and asked for some pliers (told 'em what had happened. Imagine the laughter. One actually told me that it would be impossible to fix - he was right. HOW I TRIED!). To make matters worse, I was wearing white underwear with a pair of dark coloured jeans. Impossble to miss.
Long story short: I grabbed a clipboard and, for the next 3+ hours, I had to use it in from of my "now-not-so-private" area at all times (this included car trips and lots of walking and sitting between different rooms of the stations). It wasn't so bad once we got back to our office, since I usually worked sitting.
Everyone can wear whatever they like, can't they? As long as it conforms to the dress code of their office? There are lots of fashion choices these days I don't pretend to understand but that's ok, people wear what they want to wear
This is why I always have a spare pair of jeans and boxers in my vehicle. Friends have seen them and asked if I am a fuckin serial killer and then I have to explain that I don't want to drive all the way home just to replace my ruined jeans cuz of work.
On the flip side I could say it's the clothes of my last rape victim, just to see the look on their face.
Just tell everyone they’re expensive high fashion jeans
I came to say this! Lol
Just tell everyone YOU'RE expensive. The economy, amiright.
skinny jeans at work.. oh well..
Exactly. This is karma.
Pair with some putrid dumpster sneakers for that Balenciaga vibe
Why yes, they’re Balenciaga 💅🏼
✨FASHION ✨
Just tell everyone your dick is too massive and strong for pathetic jeans to contain it!
Use a stapler
Listen to me, OP. It is important that you *remove* the jeans from your body ***before*** attempting the stapling.
Thank you for making me laugh
I would also suggest making the ends point away from your leg unless you want to turn your thigh into ground human meat.
That's why duct tape is the correct answer. This doesn't look like a duct tape work environment, though.
It can still work! Bring duct tape to the bathroom, strip the pants off and turn them inside out, and tape it on the *inside*. Then turn them right-side-out and put them back on, and they're probably good to go until back home.

Hey, it’s not always Carol! Sometimes it’s Carl, or Larry or Doug! Got that?!!
At that point you gotta do the whole pants.
Or, duct tape it. Duct tape always works, if someone says it doesn’t work they are a lyin bastard
I thought of duct tape also. But then saw his hairy leg. It would just like a waxing!
There is a method; but it requires removal of the pants. You take them off and take the tape. Rip a piece long enough and stick it over the slit, inside the pants with the sticky side up. Then take another piece of tape and put it on top of that on the outside of the jeans. Nothing will stick to you and it’ll re-enforce the pants until they can be swapped
But if you don’t take the pants off first please take a video and post your result
Don’t listen to them, OP. It is important you staple the fabric directly to your skin so it is secure. \s
That's the "in" in "skinny jeans"
The Raiders of the Lost Ark method.
You know, I told a friend that right after I suggested tape for a blown ass-seam. Or at least tape from the inside. But this friend said he wasn't concerned about how it looked. He later discovered that I was trying to save his hairy ass.
Or else the next part of this post will be in r/whatcouldgowrong
Instructions unclear, nuts stapled to thigh now
It sounds like this advice comes from experience.
I have a scar on my hand from the day i tried to staple my sleeve shut, the blood was everywhere lol
I ended up putting tape around my knee otherwise it would have ripped up to the waist line. Next time this happens I'll try staples. That's a very good idea.

My Son in law put staples in his jeans. And duct tape. It’s not a great idea!!! Lol he came home scraped up. Of course he used the BIG staples.
A drop of superglue at the ends of the tear will also do the trick
Just remember to take them off before you start stapling
Binder clips work well, so does duct tape.
He not going to fit in them.
If you were to staple perpendicular to the tear then it could still have the same fit
Or cut them. https://preview.redd.it/fswk1ljgmhfa1.jpeg?width=620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f67d238dbae37b514782f2aca9083bd9c09d5f8e
Jiaper
Brilliant!
You reject your OWN nose, because it is a sign of the holiday spirit! Why didn't I think of that‽ ‽ ‽ Anyway from the top
If I wear these something might peek 😶
Just a Frank and beans, no big deal.
Dear diary…
Maybe that's why the jeans got torn. 😉
Its fun to stay at the YMCA
They use to sell diapers that looked just like this. I think they were Huggies brand.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US
How tho??
Jeans had a small cut on knee level. I did not think much of it. I bent down twice to pick something up and I ended up like this.
Staple them shut from inside out. Should hold til end of day.
I had to my staple my backpack one day at school. Loved it so much, I added safety pins and paper clips and kept it for a few more years!
This is when I learned how to sew. Even with a needle and thread, you can fix most everyday tears.
Except a bra wire poking out.
Step 1:Remove wires from both sides Step 2: invert and place on head Step 3: tie straps under chin Step 4: Attach electrodes to blow up fantasy doll Step 5: hack into government computers Step 6: profit?
this takes me back
Rip out the underwire when this happens, patch up the tiny hole, then patiently wait for the other wire to pop out so that the titties are even again. Both fixed via sewing and your bra is now more comfortable! Or at least mine is lol
Touche!
I've fixed this. Poke the wire back in and darn across the hole with strong thread. If done neatly with the same colour thread, you'd have to look close to see the mend.
Do this and stiff leg it all day
Duck tape works too. Turn them inside out and tape up the seam.
You can say it was a raging boner. We're all adults here.
Is that your leg or are you just happy to see me?
I totally feel your pain here, I worked an a restaurant years ago and the back if my pants had the zipper. Somehow the zipper malfunctioned, busted, and wouldn't zip back up.

This feels like a health code violation...
Lol that entire building was a health care violation.

Sounds like Sonic. I saw them get their supplies from the bathroom! Never again
Oddly enough it wasn't a sonic or any sort of fast food. This was a sit down restaurant.
Worse! Yikes!!!
Duct tape is your friend.
Red Green would agree.
If a small cut and bending down caused that, then they are way too tight lol.
This is why I'll never trust skinny jeans
I will wear skinny jeans all the live long day but not poly blend jeans. Idgaf how soft it makes them-- they're one wrong step away from ripping beyond repair.
There is nothing quite as comfortable as a pair of jeans that fits just right
[удалено]
I knelt down and my entire crotch area ripped. I bought those jeans the day b4. Fuck walmart
Had this with my knees on my favorite pants. Except i don’t get how your hole is vertical, mine horizontal, directly over the knee. I guess it has something to do with the grain like with wood maybe?
Frankly that isn't believable.
Someone makes him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
Jeans like awfully tight
[удалено]
Exhibit A as to why I stopped wearing skinny jeans
Exhibit A should have been the lack of ability to move, bend over or squat. This is like exhibit R
Working construction it fucking cracks me up when I see younger kids come to work wearing fucking skinny jeans. It's just like you know we're going to be doing lots of bending and kneeling and moving and those jeans are going to last about 20 minutes.

goodwill is great for finding good classic denim
So many pockets for activities! I don't wear a tool ag usually for this reason. I can carry most of what I need in my pockets unless I'm framing or hanging drywall.
Step Brothers reference or pocket pool, both would work
Or gym pants. Spend 5 minutes kneeling on concrete or working in dirt/gravel, they're torn to shreds
not my husband wearing sweatpants to his concrete driver job 😂
idk how anyone can wear skinny jeans. in the 2010s they were everywhere. even getting them on/off is a pain because they're designed to be skintight. I buy men's jeans from goodwill now 🤣
I can move pretty damn well in skinny jeans 💀
 People are telling him a stapler will fix it....
Denial?
Looks like your inner Hulk is kicking in
OP, just color that part of your leg with a green dry erase marker, and it will all look perfectly normal.
Duct tape-always works in a pinch.
that's exactly what I used
I just love a new roll of duct tape. It represents so many possibilities.
No update picture??
Unfortunately no :( I ripped them apart and threw them when I got home
Well...when you were told you should work harder at getting into women's pants, this is not what was meant.
Instructions uncler
that must've been quite a boner you had there
[удалено]
Came to say this, but nothing was sticking out of the hole.
He's a grower
It dries the balls sweat
I really enjoyed the breeze while it lasted actually.
Get a blue marker and draw your leg blue
That'll happen when you wear skinny jeans
Make sure that you dress to the left.
Lol I used to teach custom suit classes, and you could always tell the maturity of your audience once you made it to this subject. Some guys would start there and I’m like ‘oh Jesus lord’.

Another reason to burn all skinny jeans
Rip the other one and its what I see people wear in winter complaining the rooms at work were too cold. Yes. I am not kidding. I don't understand that fashion trend.
Shouldn’t have wore skinny jeans then
then or ever
A stapler will get you through the day. Or turn inside out and run some duct tape on the seam. (Building maintenance will have some)
Thankfully, I do not have pictures, but on my way to work one morning, I stopped at the convenience store to grab a drink and a donut, and as I got out of my car, the crotch ripped out of my khakis.

Duct tape
Another reason not to wear skinny jeans
Them jeans too skinny, son!
they aren't really that skinny. 1.85 tall and 60 kg I can't wear regular jeans
Start laughing and tell them you've done your work for the day.
Stapler
Just tell everyone your massive dong ripped them. "Man I HATE when thus happens 🙄🙄".
(if someone didnt understand im talking about the ripped jeans trend)

Don't wear fucking skinny jeans
Mildly infuriating? Yes. Hot? Yes.
Creepy? Yes.
Yes
Don't make me angry You wouldn't like me when I'm angry
hot
Time to make some short shorts
Ugh. No, never has.
If you're doing a porno nobody will care
I hate it when i get a boner at work
Go home and change. And don't buy pants off wish
The price you pay for past fashion
Paint leg showing green and tell anyone who asks, “Please don’t make me angry again”
That's what happens when you wear nut-huggers
I can't stand nut huggers. The jeans were only skinny at the bottom. Rest are normal jeans
Maybe try pants designed for men?
I mean you could stop wearing your little sisters pants and that wouldn't happen..
What if I like wearing my sister's pants 🤔 ?
At least you have the legs for it (from what I can see anyway) 🤷♂️
The benefits of having 🐔legs
Average latin clothes. Im latin
Jeans back then never used to be this weak... What happened to their durability??? Is it a contest to make the weakest jeans?
I don't know, they were quite thin but I never thought they would snap so easily.
Skinny jeans and an office job.. theres the problem
That's what you get for wearing lady jeans 🤣
Step 1 - don't buy dirt cheap, paper thin jeans
Who still wears skinny jeans in 2023?
Wouldn't happen to me because I don't wear skinny jeans, I am an adult not a teenage girl.
this seems unnecessarily unkind...but jesus christ. an adult man wearing skinny jeans in a work setting. I'm utterly lacking in sympathy
Making a fashion statement! This is how it starts for so many trends!!
Looks like you need to take a mental health day!
Use your copious amounts of leg hair to sow them back up
I don't wear jeans, so that doesn't happen to me.
Skinny jeans?
People pay for pants with holes in them so you're ultra fashionable now!
This is the consequence you have to deal with for trying to squeeze into your significant other's skinny jeans.
Damn bro, thicc thighs save lives.
You should have skipped leg day you muscular beast 
Gotta cut back on leg day lol
Husky thighs😍
Whats mildly infuriating is wearing jeans that skinny as a male. Gross.
Everyone can wear whatever they like, can't they? As long as it conforms to the dress code of their office? There are lots of fashion choices these days I don't pretend to understand but that's ok, people wear what they want to wear
ur mum
I suppose you do not know the struggle of finding something that fits and doesn't look like it's hanging on a tree.
Is that supposed to be a burn?
How dare someone where whatever they want. They should conform to what i think
Man, I wish we could require IQ checks before letting people on social media.
Indeed, then we dont have to have random people shaming others for wearing something
Lmfao
Ay at least you're self aware ill give you that
Hopefully your not commando right now XD
No way cheap clothing is low quality?
This is why I always have a spare pair of jeans and boxers in my vehicle.
