I have this pair of Adidas sweat pants—now that I mention it, my Nike “training” shorts are the same way, so it’s not a brand issue—whose pockets are so shallow that anything entrusted in them unfailingly fall out when I sit on anything equal to or sharper than a 90-degree angle. I suspect the Chinese manufacturers of skimping on the pattern-making and using the same ones regardless of the size, which may only be plenty deep for someone with legs half mine’s length. (I know what you’re thinking: if keys are gonna slide the entire distance anyway, what does it matter how far they’re down? Because friction’s more likely to intervene, that’s why. The additional travel time’s bound to alert me, too.) Or was it decided that it’s in the best interest of society to inconvenience us than to require another part of the population to dig in up to their elbows?
And while I’m at it, will they ever make a car without crevices between the seats too small for your hands to fit through and fumble around for such emptied contents without parking and moving the seat back? Tall people have it rough, too.
