I’m a jeans year-round guy, but the gooch sweat has been gnarly lately. Today my gf and I had plans to walk around and hit a couple spots around the city, and I wanted something a tad bit classier than my basketball shorts.

I have two pairs of black jeans. One I usually wear to work and a cheap pair I got from a thrift store. I grab the thrift store ones from the floor of my closet, draped them over the front of my legs, line up the cuts and chopped those fuckers.

Clean cut. Nice. Put them on. The thighs are a lot tighter and the waist is a lot stretchier than I remembered.

Fuck me.

Proceed to call my girlfriend to let her know that I accidentally made jorts out of her $150, discontinued, high end, currently the “only pants that fit her right” favorite pair of jeans.

Tears ensue. Searches of the same style and size are initially fruitless. Visions of sleeping on the couch indefinitely dance in my head.

We eventually find two pairs on Poshmark and I buy her both. Hit her favorite sushi spot. And now I have a very comfortable, very expensive pair of jean shorts and get to sleep in bed tonight.

TL;DR turned my girlfriend’s designer jeans into jean shorts because I’m a dumbass (she didn’t tell me to say that).
