@Arkturos saidThis is quite a lot more common now than it used to be back in the day (like when I first started wearing them).
Regarding the clasp in the back on bras, has anyone ever considered putting the clasp in front, where it would be more convenient for everyone?
(and not necessarily made of metal -- I'm thinking of a loop and button clasp)
And there was also somewhat of a stigma attached (nice girls don't wear bras with the clasp in front! What a hussy...).
On a side note, I remember summers here in Arizona, girls quickly learned how to get the danged bra off without removing their shirts first.
@Suzianne saidOh, thank you for that.

I didn't grow up with any sisters or even close female cousins because we moved around so much, and that's not something I would have asked my late Mom about.
@Arkturos saidAnd most front clasps are plastic now, a one-point system. Meaning if you broke the clasp getting it off, you were done, you weren't getting that bra back on. If a single hook in the old system broke, you could still keep it together with the others.

And then there was explaining to Mom how you broke the clasp in the first place.
@Martin saidFor me it's:
"thoughts that keep me awake at night
hmmm?
Did I turn on the a/c for the morning
Did I fill the kettle for my morning cuppa
Did I lock the back door
Did I make a move on RHP to stop a time out
Damn, did I let the dog back in
I must have done; only my best friend would give me sloppy kisses like that
Is the front door really locked?*
Are the knobs for the stove burners really set to "off"?
And did I really leave my eyeglasses in their usual parking spot?
All of that because I am often thinking of other things at the same time I am checking those things, which sometimes leaves me in a state of doubt, which might result in a few more passes of checking just to make sure.

* As for the other door: There's an ancient pile of old cans against the kitchen door, plus it has a deadlock on it, so someone breaking in would make a lot of noise and might not even be able to open that door all the way.
@Suzianne saidHuh. I was thinking along Tang-dynasty lines re: the loop and button.

doing some regular maintenance on the mountain bike
after all, it IS 80ºF here in texas
shifters, derailleurs, shocks and chain all cleaned and lightly lubed
then came the funky notification from reddit
i was told that i would see an increase in performance if i used a 78% nitrogen gas mix in the tires and it sounds fishy to me
dude at the service station told me he could refill both tires for only $100.00
i think i'm gonna go for it
yer a corrections officer, monitoring an inmate during and after surgery
he's coming out from under anesthesia
groggily he asks about his cellmate
"is poindexter here?"
now, poindexter had escaped confinement three weeks earlier
and he was in the wind
so you, as a responsible corrections officer ask the bedridden patient,
"if you tell me where poindexter is, i'll fetch him here pronto"
and he reveals the whereabouts of ole pointy
and a swat team arrests the hapless escapee within an hour
are you truly exacting judgement?
